Get Off My Wave…

Sep 17, 2017
Hey all…we are at Pantages this week, which is perhaps particularly good because it has such a distinct space for the Little’s to gather, and this week is the fall kick off for The Kids Table.  Whoop!  When I started at The Table, there were no (count ’em – zero) kids. Now there’s a small army of them and more on the way, which is awesome. And they might not find the Talky Bit explorations about big ideas all that captivating. So…let’s keep that team in mind and cheer them on as they provide age-appropriate explorations for the smallest members of the community.

And while we’re talking about space, let me remind you that we are still looking for an alternative to Sam’s Place for some fall and winter dates where Pantages is not available. Some of you have already tendered suggestions, which we are exploring. Thank you! More are welcome, so if you’ve had an idea floating around in your head but haven’t mentioned it, now is the time. You can do that by responding to this email, or in person by talking to me or any member of the Leadership Team (Tim Penner, Jane Penner, Amy Krahn, Justin Schinkel, Brent Johnson, Karen Johnson).

Now, about that wave. Last week, Tim Penner made one of his typically understated but brilliant offerings to our shared exploration by poking around in some of Carl Sagan’s thoughts about the dimensions of the universe. This week, I’m going to surf Tim’s “idea wave”, but from the perspective of time. And then, if I can stay on that wave long enough, I’ll ride it into the exploration of evolving morality.

So shake off the “summer’s winding down” lament, pull on that great thrift store sweater you’ve been waiting to wear, fill up your coffee cup and get on with exploring what you believe.

I’ll see you on Sunday.

Peace,

Tim Plett
