Building on the legacy of Hillside Community Church in Albuquerque, The Hillside Source aspires to be a resource for 21st century spirituality as it is being defined through time and events throughout this century. Certainly, the Covid 19 Pandemic will profoundly shape this century in ways we cannot currently foresee.
The future is built on the past, shaped by the events of an ever-changing present and the visionary realm pulling life forward into the new. The healing of this Pandemic involves all three. We look to past pandemics for ways in which people coped, survived, and society changed. We look to the future for prevention, technology, discoveries that have yet to actualized. We stretch creativity and imagination, sometimes fearfully, but to heal, we envision positive outcomes. In this ever-changing present, we make do. We adapt. We use whatever skills we have, while we learn new skills.
We each have our personal difficulties, but we are all under the weight of a collective pressure.
That pressure is lightened if we have learned how to stop now and then. Stop and let go. Stop and rest. The pressure is lightened even more, if we can give way to silence and stillness,trusting life, trusting something greater than our personal and collective struggles
