\"\"<\/a>Yesterday\u2019s workshop went well, I thought. Seventy-five or so came out to hear and talk a little about the meeting of Unitarian Universalism and Zen Buddhism<\/a>. <\/p>\n

This morning I preached an adaptation of my sermon from earlier this year on growing souls<\/a>. There were two services. The second was good, maybe even very good, but I gotta say, that first service was on fire. <\/p>\n

You find yourself in Kansas City, you should check out the Shawnee Mission UU Church<\/a>!<\/p>\n

Lovely, lovely.<\/p>\n

Soon I\u2019ll be picked up by old friends from the Kwan Um Zen community<\/a>, who are driving into town from Lawrence, and we will go out to dinner.<\/p>\n

Tomorrow, early, I return to Providence, then on to the Wayside Inn in Sudbury for the annual gathering of the Fraters of the Wayside Inn, my ministerial study group.<\/p>\n

Ah, life\u2026<\/p>\n
