Hey friends!

Just a reminder about Sunday Assembly Connect this coming Sunday at 12:30 on the Upper West Side! Everyone's invited, and we extend a hearty welcome to first-timers. Our theme for Connect is "Gratitude". Something to ponder this coming week: a quote below, on gratitude, from author Annie Dillard.

What: Sunday Assembly Connect - a delicious meal 
and
 discussion where you can share gratitude, sorrows, hopes
, and anything else
 
in a compassionate, 
cheerful,
 non-religious setting
 


When
Sunday
September 15
, at 12:30

Where: 950 Columbus Avenue/106 St. (Erik's place) (B,C to 103/Central Park West or 1 to 103/Broadway - apt. no. will be indicated at the door)

Email me if you
are coming (if you haven't already), and if you
have any dietary requirements
 (vegetarian, allergies, etc.) You are invited, but certainly not obligated, to join into the potluck. EANABs (Equally
A
ttractive Non-Alcoholic Beverages) will be served.

“What can we make of the inexpressible joy of children? It is a kind of gratitude, I think—the gratitude of the ten-year-old who wakes to her own energy and the brisk challenge of the world. You thought you knew the place and all its routines, but you see you hadn’t known. Whole stacks at the library held books devoted to things you knew nothing about. The boundary of knowledge receded, as you poked about in books, like Lake Erie’s rim as you climbed its cliffs. And each area of knowledge disclosed another, and another. Knowledge wasn’t a body, or a tree, but instead air, or space, or being—whatever pervaded, whatever never ended and fitted into the smallest cracks and the widest space between stars.”

Peace
Erik
