August 30: Wisdom from the Beatles

Reasoning by Pastor Sherry Petro-Surdel

Wisdom and truth can come from the simple, the children, nature, and music. Many of us lived in the era of the Vietnam War, the peace movement and the Beatles. Make love not war was the peace cry to end the battle cries. For decades the Beatles music has taught us the wisdom of the ages.

August 23: Wisdom of the Labyrinth

Reasoning by Pastor Sherry Petro-Surdel

The labyrinth is a unicursal creation, its single pathway leads the journeyer into the center and out. The walk to the center with all its twists and turns is a journey into the sacred place of our center. Walking the labyrinth is to dance a waltz in which your own heart is in unison with the Devine.

August 2: A Spirituality Named Compassion

Reasoning by Pastor Sherry Petro-Surdel

Wisdom form Dominican priest, Matt Fox, on how to put Humpty Dumpty and ourselves back together again. It can only be accomplished through the spirituality of compassion. Compassion is not a religion, but a way of life. It is the way to healing and wholeness. Jesus taught compassion, Buddha taught compassion. You may call God love; you may call God good, but the best name for God is Compassion.
