The Way It Is
There’s a thread you follow. It goes among
things that change. But it doesn’t change.
People wonder about what you are pursuing.
You have to explain about the thread.
But it is hard for others to see.
While you hold it you can’t get lost.
Tragedies happen; people get hurt
or die; and you suffer and get old.
Nothing you do can stop time’s unfolding.
You don’t ever let go of the thread.

An invitation from Scott:
My new book, The Soul’s Red Thread, is my story. What’s yours? Come join me for nine months of group exploration: an opportunity to tell your life story and to hear those of others.
Once a month – in spring, summer, and fall – we will choose a theme from my book for you to explore while walking alone in nature. We will then circle together for a story council. The format for each gathering will be a mix of Zoom, council meetings, all-day day walks, and two overnight programs.
This is not a book club where we'll discuss the ideas of my book. Instead, this is an opportunity to come together with others to tell your own stories.
