Currents September 2021

Knowledge and Wisdom, September 2021By Norma HendricksonAugust 27, 2021Leave a comment

Gathering Wisdom This month as we seek to gather knowledge and wisdom, may I suggest we examine the power of gathering with others? Such a gathering was our Big Ocean Women Retreat last month. The synergy created by combining women with diverse ideas, knowledge, and talents enriched each participant. In addition to the roughly forty…

Prayer is Powerful

Big Ocean Women, September 2021By Michelle MelineAugust 27, 2021Leave a comment

On August 21, Big Ocean Women joined like-minded organizations and 200 attendees in a vigil to offer prayer, hope, and support for the people of Afghanistan in wake of the Taliban takeover. See more in a Salt Lake Tribune report and our social media post.

On the Abundance of Tomatoes

Knowledge and Wisdom, September 2021By Shelli SpottsAugust 27, 2021Leave a comment

I’ve been thinking about tomatoes. Not the uniformly red tomatoes of about the same size and shape that you can buy in the produce aisle at your local grocery store. No, I have been thinking about late summer tomatoes grown in a backyard garden, the gloriously uneven and brilliantly colored globes sheltered from the midmorning…

Learning for Service and Love

Conferences, Knowledge and Wisdom, Maternal Economy, September 2021By Lisa BjornbergAugust 27, 2021Leave a comment

Twenty years ago, when I started having my babies, I was gifted some very lovely blankets by wonderful women I knew and loved. Some of my favorites had crocheted edges, and I would admire the handiwork when I held my babies wrapped in the beautiful blankets that offered warmth and reminded us of the love…

Thoughts on Learning

Knowledge and Wisdom, September 2021By Lyn MisnerAugust 27, 2021Leave a comment

During the Renaissance, the idea arose that a person could study and become learned in all the knowledge of mankind. Leonardo da Vinci is often listed as a quintessential “Renaissance man” though there have been many other examples, even before the Renaissance era. The current term for someone who is greatly knowledgeable in many fields…

Puzzles, Volcanoes, and Seeds

Knowledge and Wisdom, September 2021By Emily LaytonAugust 27, 2021Leave a comment

I love puzzles and mysteries. There is such a thrill in the victory of finally figuring out the solution. Last fall our family participated in a tropical island plane crash themed “puzzle room.” In order to escape the imaginary island, we had to solve a series of puzzles with only the items we found in…

Becoming Informed Advocates

September 2021By Kaloni HallAugust 27, 2021Leave a comment

Lately my thoughts have been engrossed with the current chaos and division in the world. We are constantly bombarded with this reality in the news, daily conversations, and social media feeds. What an exciting yet terrifying time we live in!  Among other things, Big Ocean Women are advocates for laws and policies to protect the…

Trending – Knowledge and Wisdom

Knowledge and Wisdom, September 2021By Michelle MelineAugust 27, 2021Leave a comment

There she was on the morning horizon shining! Her bright countenance ablaze with glory. Her heart refined to gold. Her mind sharp with knowledge. Her feet swiftly moving toward her future! She was richly dressed in feminine experience. Upon her flowing tresses she wore a crown of wisdom. Eternal and flaming love were written in…

Blindness and Elephants

Knowledge and Wisdom, September 2021By Norma HendricksonAugust 27, 2021Leave a comment

In an ancient Hindu fable, six blind men encounter an elephant for the first time. Each man touches a different part of the elephant’s body with vastly different conclusions.  The version of this story in poetic form was a beloved children’s picture book I remember fondly. As I contemplated our tenet this month on seeking…
