Arms Wide Open: Parenting as a Spiritual Path

Sermons-First Unitarian Universalist Society of San Francisco

"Arms Wide Open: Parenting as a Spiritual Path" (May 9, 2021) Worship Service
I am a year and a few months from an empty nest, and halfway into a process of pulling together an anthology of writings on the place of children in our wisdom-making living. The book is a project that started as an excuse to go looking for all the gorgeous stories we don't think to tell in the midst of the work and the chores. I want us to hold up some of them together to reflect on our relationship with children as a part of our spiritual paths.
