[Erik Campano]

Hi Assemblers! Our theme for Connect this coming Sunday is "Grattude". Something to ponder this coming week: a quote below from American author Annie Dillard.

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 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
