“Tending the Fire.”
On a recent camping trip with my son, I had a chance to reflect on the art of “tending the fire,” a skill passed down through the generations, and a loving service offered to the gathering, to the community. In this talk we will examine some ways that we tend the spiritual fire, for ourselves and for each other, to keep the light of truth burning in dark and challenging times.
