Music has been an integral part of the Queer community for its entire history. From innuendo to bravely speaking our truths out loud; major hits to B side and forgotten references; it buoyed us along and let us know that we existed, that there IS a place for us and that me can be loved. When empires are in decline, they often create spectacles and distractions to keep much of the citizenry from seeing the depths of debauchery to which the society has sunk. Many adherents of the Abrahamic religions hold a belief that God, or the Divine, possesses unlimited power. This discourse will explore the many problematic implications of such a belief, especially at a time when our taking responsibility for addressing the challenges for our human and ecological communities has never been more urgent. This is the longest day of the year–the harbinger of both the long, hot summer ahead and the beginning of the shortening of each day as we begin the inexorable march into winter. Much of our suffering comes from trying to control what was never ours to control: other people, their choices, and circumstances beyond our reach. Drawing from Buddhist wisdom, this service explores the practice of letting go, not as resignation, but as an act of clarity and compassion. Together, we’ll reflect on how releasing our grip on what cannot be changed can open space for greater peace, acceptance, and freedom in our lives.
