Connect with new people and reconnect with old people

We shape the congregation and the congregation shapes us

The congregation shrinks fear and greed and causes justice and love to increase

In 2005 Ann lived by Monterey Bay

A Muskrat was swimming in the slough

Ann felt connected to all things, beautiful and ugly

Being connected to all things is a religious feeling

Haiku poems reveal the eternal harmony of nature

We respect others by giving up all posturing and striving and ego

Theme in congregation "Consider others better than yourselves"

Invited to write a Haiku to speak like a poet and listen like a poet

Ceremony -blending of the waters
