Fr. Matthew Fox's Earth Day Sermon

Fr. Matthew Fox has long been a favorite theologian of mine (which doesn't mean I agree with everything he says). One of the things I appreciate about him is the spiritual component to what he says and teaches. If our goal in life is to continuing opening up to the Divine Presence around and within us, to continue deepening in compassion and justice-making/living, then the head and the heart and the gut all need to work together. Science and the spiritual life are not far apart - they can be very supporting of one another. Which is another piece of what I like about what Fox stresses. When I came across this video of his sermon given on the weekend of Earth Day, 2017, I thought it would be wonderful to share it with you.
Enjoy.
Blessed be,
Joel

A Vist with Bill Garden for May Day, 2017

Happy May Day. On this First of May I thought it would be fun to "visit" Bill Garden's Toad Landing. The following video came to my attention recently, and I thought it fitting to share with you all at this time, when we are starting to clean-up boats, and/or put them afloat, and long for the sunny weather to celebrate being alive on the water.

Blessed be,
Joel

By the way, I believe that Mr. Garden is 87 in this video, which is "an excerpt from Throwbacks to a Golden Age of Northwest Boats, this tribute to the late, great naval architect was produced by videographer John Sabella in 2004."
