11-20-22 Weekly Gathering: “Love Without Return”

Weekly Sunday Gathering with Rev. Jacquelyn Eckert

Title: “Love Without Return”

Description: Rev. Jacquelyn contrasted specialness and love in relationships. Jacquelyn shared that while specialness is often the basis of our relationships, specialness is actually the wish for separation rather than joining. By definition, it is the desire to be set apart from. Our true desire in a relationship is to share the fullness of creation. It is when we share the love we find inside that we become acutely aware of it. Thus relationships provide the opportunity to be love, see love, give love and live love.

Reading: Connie Poole read “Love is for Giving” by Nirmala.
