Did some photoshopping and bass practice today. Worked on my personal “credo statement” for tonight’s meeting at the UU church in Harvard Sq. Here’s the UUs’ demands:
THINGS YOU MIGHT INCLUDE IN YOUR CREDO STATEMENT
- beliefs about the purpose of life
- beliefs about the nature of the divine
- beliefs about the spiritual self/soul
- beliefs about love/relationships
- beliefs about community
- beliefs about Unitarian Universalism
- beliefs about justice/oppression/privilege
- beliefs about beauty/art/expression
- beliefs about death
- things you’re not sure about
- beliefs you’re still exploring/learning about
- things you don’t really care about
- beliefs about what keeps you “on the path”
- beliefs about what drives you “off the path”
- how all of the above fit together!
I wrote out a doc answering these quesions as briefly as possible (because anything more would result in a short book for each) which I need to refine more before I post here. The amount of overlap in my answers to the above questions means that I can reduce my current four pages of credo to one. My only concern with these questions is that they will encourage too-vague answers. Or are simple answers the best?
I put Boston Secrets on the back burner today, and while I’m upset that I can’t continue with it right now, I feel a little bit of pressure has been lifted and I can keep working on smaller projects for a while. And there’s no shortage of smaller projects right now…
