The Church of What's Happenin' Now, part 3 of whatever

I like the short prayer with which the Church of What's Happenin' Now closes each Sunday morning service. I've been meaning to post it for a while now, and since I have it at hand, here it is:

As the earth keeps turning, hurtling through space,
and night falls and day breaks from land to land,
let us remember people, waking, sleeping, being born and dying --
one world, one humanity. Let us go from here in peace.
Amen.

Tomorrow I'm going to one day of this conference, partly organized by this guy who has been my friend for a long time now and is a leading light in my artistic life. While the subject matter of the conference is admittedly heavy, it answers my perpetual need to figure out how what I do makes a difference in the world.

Next month I'm going to two and a half days of this conference, where I expect to know approximately one other person. Nothing like being the new kid in the region! The difference-making is clearer, though -- another opportunity to warp young minds.
