Spent late morning putting together my workshop\/presentation for the Woolly Retreat.\u00a0 I plan to read sections from Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, talk about it a bit as a fable for our time and a bit about what I call the ur-faith.\u00a0 The way to name it still is not clear to me.\u00a0 Maybe that will come as the workshop\u00a0proceeds.\u00a0 Sometimes presenting things to others helps flesh them out, identify new angles or\u00a0flaws in the conception.\u00a0\u00a0 The sacrament I posted a few days ago will follow the reading and then we’ll talk.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I may use a way to get inside material I learned in seminary.\u00a0 In this method the audience gets an invitation to take on one of the roles in the reading, to hear the material being read from that person’s perspective.\u00a0 In SGGK\u00a0characters include\u00a0Arthur, Gawain, Guinevere, the Green Knight, the two women in\u00a0Hautdesert’s castle, and the servant who\u00a0leads\u00a0Gawain to the Green Chapel.\u00a0 Sometimes this cracks open poetry or scripture in a way nothing else can.<\/p>\n
Fallen oak leaves have begun to show through the snow.\u00a0\u00a0 The boulders in our boulder walls now peak out from caps of white.\u00a0 This is an unlovely aspect of snow.\u00a0 Snow has its most beautiful moments\u00a0as and just after it falls.\u00a0 If it remains cold, as it often does after a big snow, the pristine character of the snow can last for days.\u00a0 Sometimes it does glint and sparkle in the sun.\u00a0 Hope we get a big whack just before I leave for Dwelling in the Woods.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
