Listening to Our Stories
Rev. Dr. Craig Rubano and Friends
Just prior to our first Interim Congregational Meeting of 2024–25 is an apt time to practice what we mean by deep listening by listening to one another. When it is so easy to hear nothing but ideology in the voices of others, the key to peaceful coexistence is perhaps to listen to the biographies, the contexts, of those voices.
Music: Elaine Held, Music Director Emerita

October Monthly Theme: The Practice of Deep Listening
Before I can tell my life what I want to do with it, I must listen to my life telling me who I am.
Speak as if God is listening. Listen as if God is speaking. Speak as if Spirit is speaking through you. Listen as if Spirit is listening through you.
The first duty of love is to listen.
Being heard is so close to being loved that for the average person they are almost indistinguishable.
Our listening creates sanctuary for the homeless parts within the other person.
When someone deeply listens to you it is like holding out a dented cup you’ve had since childhood and watching it fill up with cold, fresh water. When it balances on top of the brim, you are understood. When it overflows and touches your skin, you are loved.
Questions that have no right to go away are those that have to do with the person we are about to become; they are conversations that will happen with or without our conscious participation.
I sometimes wake in the early morning & listen to the soft breathing of my children & I think to myself; this is one thing I will never regret & I carry that quiet with me all day long.
