WALPOLE — Join us on Tuesday, Oct. 2, from 10:30 a.m. to noon as we resume the Walpole Unitarian Spiritual Discussions series at Hastings Parish House with a discussion of “The Vitality of Ordinary Things,” with Michael Longley.
Our topics are drawn from the archives of “On Being” interviews conducted by Krista Tippet and broadcast on public radio.
Participants listen to the program via website or podcast, then meet to consider it together. They meet every other Tuesday through November. Come for all of the conversations, or any number you can make. All are welcome to stay for lunch following the discussion, bring your own.
To reassert the liveliness of ordinary things, precisely in the face of what is hardest and most broken in life and society – this has been Michael Longley’s gift to Northern Ireland as one of its foremost living poets. Michael Longley was known, in part, as a poet of what is called “The Troubles” the bloody 30-year conflict between Protestants and Catholics, English and Irish, that ended with the Good Friday Agreement of 1998. And to this day, Michael Longley is a gentle, winsome force for us all in the ongoing, never-finished work of social healing. onbeing.org/programs/the-vitality-of-ordinary-things-apr2018/
