Sharon Salzburg Story About How We Love Control

January 11, 2008 on 1:53 pm | In Unitarian Universalism |

Help, colleagues!

A few years ago at CENTER Days (I think it was at the 2005 GA in Long Beach), Sharon Salzburg gave a great talk that included a hilarious anecdote about how she wanted to invite a friend to visit her in New England while the foliage was at the height of its beauty, and how she got really angry that the leaves weren’t going to be flaming with color during the weekend her friend chose. I want to use this as a sermon illustration in February (she had a great, wry punchline) but I can’t find the talk anywhere on the UUA or UUMA website. Can some savvy techie types help at all? I just know it was recorded and lives somewhere on the internets.

  1. PB, Sharon is a teacher at the Insight Meditation Society. They have a few of her talks up on their website at: http://www.dharma.org/ims/mr_audio.html. You might want to call them and describe the talk to the folks at IMS, maybe one of them recalls her using the same anecdote at the center and can steer you toward it. You could also check at her website: http://www.sharonsalzberg.com/. Perhaps you’ll want to contact her directly–if she’s not on retreat she might be able to point you more directly to the resource you’re seeking. Her email is sharon@sharonsalzberg.com.

    I haven’t heard that particular story but it sounds like a good one.
