"May the Force be with us..." And wooooah, It certainly was with us at our Gathering! Kalim honored us with the first public presentation of his gigantic mural, infused with magical elements, and an emblematic rainbow! And what made the presentation even more absorbing were the layers of existential depth embedded in it that were discussed in our interview.
As the crew, in our growing numbers, gathered around, we engaged in a filmed community interview session in which art, suffering, passion, Zen Koans, and the nature of Reality were discussed by Josh, Lacie, Kalim, Grayson, and Marco.
Grayson manifested his concept of the Sacred Text wheel into a construction of matter and color, and all the slots have been filled except five, which we will complete at the next gathering, spinning the wheel and letting Divine Providence and synchronicity determine which of the world's wisdom traditions we will discuss and grow from as a community.
The green screen made a brief appearance but was blown down, and at the next gathering we'll ground it properly.
We had special guest visitors from the teens to those in their 60's pull in off the boardwalk, and our age ranges continued to capture the color spectrum from 2 to 72, and a beautifully-colored variety of belief systems and ethnicities are represented too!
We delve into the roots of our past in looking at wisdom traditions (including Rod's exposition on the continuation of the initial Acts Holy Spirit community), and reach for the future, with the help of Chris and his progressive technology - this time with electronic, lightning-fast skateboards! Always with the nutrition and sustenance that Marco brings!
At the next gathering Grayson has some surprises for us that arrived in the mail. He may also invite us into an exposition of sacred dance. We'll have the green screen and likely Kalim's mural set up again. We'll have a bluetooth mic from which we will inaugurate discussions based on the Sacred Text Wheel. And we will have open sharing about insights and existential nourishment received over the past month, and an openness to the guaranteed adventures that these precious and authentic spaces create for us time and time again!
This is your community in your spacetime coordinates. Please join your community for the next gathering as we continue to take ownership of our mutual Reality. The next event will be on Saturday 6/8 at the fire-pits by the Oceanside Pier. Feel free to email AzlanzRainbow@yahoo.com for more information or collaborative suggestions.
