When

Wednesday, December 13, 2023, 6:30-8:30pm on Zoom

Where

In the comfort of your home or wherever you have an internet connection, via Zoom.

Theme: Peace

A seemingly simple word: Peace. Diving into its many uses, we discover deep pools of meaning. Mind, body, spirit; personal, political; front page or deep in the heart. Do you have a story about Pease? Please bring it! We need it.

Here is Wendell Berry’s beautiful meditation on peace:

 The Peace of Wild Things

When despair for the world grows in me

and I wake in the night at the least sound

in fear of what my life and my children’s lives may be,

I go and lie down where the wood drake

rests in his beauty on the water, and the great heron feeds.

I come into the peace of wild things

who do not tax their lives with forethought

of grief. I come into the presence of still water.

And I feel above me the day-blind stars

waiting with their light. For a time

I rest in the grace of the world, and am free.

We look forward to gathering with you for the stories. Traditional or personal, original or literary. We’d love to hear it. Eight minutes or less please.
