No Longer Forward or Behind – Our first service of the new year includes our Fire Ceremony, where you’re invited to symbolically burn all that you wish to let go of from the year past and look forward with a cleansed vision to the future. In response to this hope, Rev. Wayne will offer a sermon entitled: “No Longer Forward or Behind.” The Greek philosopher Heraclitus said that “you can never step in the same river twice”, because the river is always flowing and therefore changing. Although meditators like to think of their practice as stepping out of the river and watching flow by, I have a different image of what it is like to try to be aware of my living in time. It’s not like stepping off onto the riverbank. It’s like surfing magically suspended on the edge of a waterfall.
