  • NATIONAL COMMUNITY CHURCH May 12 2019 Loneliness Joel Schmidgall
    NATIONAL COMMUNITY CHURCH May 12 2019 Loneliness Joel Schmidgall I don't feel lonely like the way many people talk about. I have a lot of friends and have most of my life. Yet, I definitely experienced my own unmistakable layered sense of loneliness. It doesn't seem like I belong with a family that I came from, but I don't feel a part of the people that I'm with now. It's like I'm caught in between two worlds, not belonging to either one. Where do I fit? I don't feel fully understood. My perspective can be appreciated and my perspective can be discarded. I often feel alone in my ideas, in my faith, in my political beliefs. Why can't anyone else get it, see it the way I see it, fight for it the way I'm fighting for it. At times, I feel alone from my spouse and our understanding of each other. In the office there are times I feel judged and isolated. I found DC to be one of the loneliest cities there is, people are committed to causes more than to people. People pursue power more than they pursue relationship. They'll sell you out in a hot minute when you no longer serve a purpose for them. Being away from family can be part of it, but relationships often lack true authenticity. Loneliness is not having people around you. It's having people to whom you are connected or that you can remain committed to even in differences or in challenges.

Williams [1] Recently, I was invited to a book party. The book was about pluralism. "Bring an hors d'oeuvre representing your ethnic heritage," said the hostess, innocently enough. Her request threw me into a panic. Do I even have an ethnicity: I wondered. It was like suddenly discovering you might not have a belly button. I tell you, I had to go to the dictionary.

  • 12 the Way.Pdf
    Hi Soulful Song Lovers and Story Tellers, This is the twelfth Friday PDF that we’re emailing or posting on the webpage about songs, stories, storytelling, community, or personal/spiritual growth until we meet again. Sharing our stories, beliefs, and experiences around a theme suggested by a song is a pathway to our higher, better selves. Some who have been exemplars of what this journey could look like—Jesus, Lao Tzu, and others—have had the path they followed/emblazoned referred to as “The Way.” When we seek or walk The Way, sometimes we have company (a mentors, a book, etc.) but in the final analysis, in the words of the song “Lonesome Valley,” “Nobody here can walk it for you, You gotta walk it by yourself.” Some of the people who shine their light so we can find The Way include singer/songwriter Tift Merritt, Thoreau, Rachel Naomi Remen, Sophia Lyon Fahs, John Steinbeck, James Baldwin, Barbara Holmes, and more. If you’d like to get these PDFs emailed to you, register with Jessica Pond, [email protected]. We sorely miss you and your stories. We miss hugs and laughter and coffee/tea with you. We know these mailings are no substitute for meeting face-to-face, but hope that they, in some small way, may fill the gap until we meet again. Take the spirit of Soulful Songs and Stories with you wherever you go; share it, and we hope to see you all, healthy and happy, sooner rather than later. Namasté, Alice and Steve The Way / Lonesome Valley The idea for this week’s piece came from Eliza grimages leading to the shrine of the apostle Saint Borné,

  • Harton Woods
    HARTON WOODS My name is Paige Plant, and I’m a singer-songwriter. I have fourteen paintings to prove it—one for each song I’ve written. Thirteen Möbius strip watercolors where I painted the song’s story on the strip. What can I say? I was good at science back in the day. The fourteenth, done in oil and not on a Möbius strip, depicts the only love song I’ve ever written. Not that I’ve had only one lover or anything—I’m quite attractive in a B+ kind of way—but only one worth an oil painting. Plus, oil makes the other guys, and an occasional girl, work a little harder at pleasing me. Everybody wants a love song written about them; almost everyone wants to see their song in oil. Today, I’m going to meet this guy named John Bustin. He’s older, like pensioned, and, well, from the whisper-whisper out there, he was a decent songwriter in his time. No one that most people would know, but he’s well respected in a few east coast music circles. A buddy of mine saw John’s ad online and set us up. I guess John has this million-dollar recording studio in the woods forty miles west of Boston, and he lets singer-songwriters use it for free if he vibes on their stuff. Who knows, maybe I’ll get a few paintings out of the place if things go well. Watercolors. Not oils. I don’t do the daddy thing. Already have one of those, and he’s great.
