“The World Is Made of Stories” by Rev. Zenshin Florence Caplow

The limits of my language are the limits of my world. – Wittgenstein. 

In these times of uncertainty, how can we find some peace and equanimity? One powerful way is to start to see how our minds are like “storytelling machines”, and most of the time we believe the stories our minds tell us, whether those stories are true or not. The Buddhist ecophilosopher David Loy has written a book called The World Is Made of Stories.  In this service we will explore some spiritual practices to loosen up the stories that can bind us, so we can better meet and respond to these times.  Enjoy thematic music by Ellen Stapenhorst, Micha Schoepe, and Paul Dankers.
