“Race, The Other Four-Letter Word” Ahmad Ward

Our February 2019 Theme is Challenges
Life is a series of challenges because it is a succession of changes— changes and challenges are linked. Common wisdom tells us that facing and overcoming are linked. Common wisdom tells us that facing and overcoming life’s challenges is how we grow in strength and character. Our country too faces challenges in many spheres—the environment, racism, and healthcare, to name but a few. The Dalai Lams says “To remain indifferent to the challenges we face is indefensible. If the goal is noble, whether or not it is realized within our lifetime is largely irrelevant.  What we must do therefore is strive and persevere and never give up.”
 
Whether personal, national, or global, challenges are a fact of human life. Join us this month to hear our speakers in this topic, and to be a part of our discussion circle following the service.  
 
Next Service:  

March 10 “The Overreaching Field of Loving Energy”

David Jacobs-Strain & Bob Beach – Sat, Mar 2

David Jacobs-Strain is a fierce slide guitar player, and a song poet from Oregon. He is known for both his virtuosity and spirit of emotional abandon. David displays a range that ties him to his own generation and to guitar-slinger troubadours like Robert Johnson and Jackson Browne.  “I try to make art that you can dance to, but I love that darker place, where in my mind, Skip James, Nick Drake, and maybe Elliot Smith blur together.” 

Bob Beach’s career has spanned more than 45 years. With his roots in blues, rock and folk, his innate feel for the music transcends genre, and can be integrated into everything from hip hop to bluegrass to kids’ cabaret and more. “Bob Beach, you snuck into the tunes with us with the grace and sensitivity of an old school sax man, making everything better while calling attention to the music not yourself” Scott Ainslie, blues musician & educator
 
David and Bob have been performing together since 2010. They currently perform between 70 and 100 shows a year on both east and west coasts. Their live show moves from humorous, subversive blues, to delicate balladry, and then swings back to swampy rock and roll.
