“Songs that Drive Me Sane” with Steve Brooks
In times of personal stress and social upheaval, we often turn to music. Whether they’re songs of hope or songs of sadness, they connect us to deeper parts of ourselves, inspire us and summon our strength. Austin UU songwriter Steve Brooks performs some of the songs that keep him going and tells stories behind them. He invites us to contemplate our own personal playlists and how we weave music into the fabric of our lives.
On this Sunday now after the Inauguration, there is still good news. You just have to look in unusual places.
Past Perfect; Present Tense; Future Conditional
With the fresh “New Year” duly celebrated, Rev. Christine Tata wants to ask the real question: Who said it was a “New Year,” anyhow? Some folks with some machinery and an agenda, that’s who. But the times of our real lives are not governed by machinery or clocks or calendars. Our lives are stories, ongoing in real time, and each waking moment begins a new year. And each moment leads us into the greatest mystery of all: the mystery of Time.With the fresh “New Year” duly celebrated, Rev.
