This Sunday: Blue Sky Thinking
|
|
|
Lyrics from “The Sky Is Always Blue” by Daniel Nahmod
“For every hill, there is a valley.
For every winter, the promise of spring.
For your heartache, there will be healing,
though it’s not easy remembering.
For every tear, there’s comfort, I promise.
For every midnight, the deep breath of dawn.
But in the darkness, no one can blame us
for wondering how everything went so wrong.
Wondering when the lights will come back on.
What if the sky is always blue, just beyond the clouds? What if the only thing to do is live this life out loud?
Even in these dark days, we keep on believing that the sun still brightly burns.
Maybe that’s what we are here to learn.
What if the sky is always blue, just beyond the clouds?
If this is only an illusion, we can live this life right now.
It’s gonna hurt sometimes, though we might know the Truth.
Never mind the doubt. Forget about those clouds.
Just beyond our view, I believe the sky is always blue.” |

What is Emotional Freedom Tapping (EFT)
Your body is more powerful than you may imagine, filled with life, energy, and a compelling ability for self-healing.
Like acupuncture and acupressure, Tapping is a set of techniques that utilize the body’s energy meridian points. You can stimulate these meridian points by tapping on them with your fingertips, literally tapping into your body’s own energy and healing power.
Gather with a great group of positive and supportive folks with healing in mind!

Let's get together and chat!
Board Member & President of Hospitality, Deb Larkin is hosting a weekly Zoom "Table Talk Thursday" call so we can see each others faces and hear each others voices.
Why Table Talk? Well, because that's one thing we miss during this time: sitting around a table in the café and talking together. The Table Talk will last about an hour. Feel free to drop in for a few minutes or spend the whole hour with us.
Each week, Deb will have a new topic and you will have the opportunity to learn something new about each other and to share your thoughts. You can choose to participate or just listen in, whatever is comfortable for you. It will be a fun time for all as we enjoy our Unity community and navigate a new normal of virtual social distancing and spiritual closeness.
To Join:
Meeting ID: 899 2533 1726

“For just a minute, see yourself seated out of doors in a scene where the sky is overcast, the sun is hidden. See yourself receptive to change, ready for growth. As the scriptures say, ‘Then shall the light break forth as the morning and thy health springs forth speedily’. . . . Now as you look up in the heavens, see the clouds thin out, eventually break and suddenly you see the sunlight .… Think for a moment of the clouds . . . as representing … your thoughts about the problems of your life.... See these clouds breaking up, dissolving.... Clear, blue sky and the sun is shining. The sun is shining as it always shines in your Son of God self” (Eric Butterworth, “Develop Your Inner Power” Sunday Service recorded at Avery Fisher Hall in NYC, ca. 1975). |
