Widening the Circle, Remembering the Center
Unitarian Universalist Community of the Mountains
February 13, 2022
Jeff Stone, Grace Kendrick, and Rev. Kevin Tarsa
As Grace, Jeff, and Rev. Kevin explored the theme of “widening the circle,” they kept being drawn back to the awareness that expanding the edges of our circle outward is most possible, perhaps only possible, when we stay rooted in or connected to the center. Or is it that expanding the edges of our circle ultimately leads us into our center?
