As we are permeated with fear and negativity about the current health crisis, your light has brought needed strength and focus to many. More than ever, we need to fill our minds with encouraging Truth that is more real and constant than this present experience. </p><p class=MsoNormal> May I add two more podcasts/ websites to your list? A fairly new program from the On Being producers is BECOMING WISE. I believe it was a spin-off of Krista Trippett’s great book, <u>Becoming Wise, An Inquiry Into the Mystery and Art of Living. <o:p></o:p></u></p><p class=MsoNormal><u> </u> Another podcast that I’ve enjoyed for many years is MEDITATION OASIS. It is done by a yoga instructor and offers many meditations for specific experiences. Recently, she added several for coping with the current virus.</p><p class=MsoNormal> If you love language, which I know you do, don’t miss podcast/ program A WAY WITH WORDS. It is a light hearted, informative call-in program about words, phrases, idioms etc., led by two delightful lexicographers, Martha Barnette and Grant Barrett. This program is an ice-cream sundae for the brain and spirit !</p><p class=MsoNormal> Again, thank you for all that you are doing. I hope that you are enjoying the breathtaking beauty of these spring days. Aren’t we fortunate to live in the midst of such loveliness and have the eyes to see? God bless and keep you. </p><p class=MsoNormal> Love to you and my UU friends, Sandy B.</p><p class=MsoNormal><u><o:p><span style='text-decoration:none'> </span></o:p></u></p><p class=MsoNormal>Sent
