10.22.17 Service: "Living Indigenously" (Rev. Tom Schmidt) *Audio Recording*

The human experiment has reached a fork in the road. One path will essentially continue the path of domination and control that has brought us to this point, the other is the path of belonging and connectivity. I choose to live indigenously. I choose to be linked so immeasurably to a place and a people as to lose awareness of the separateness I once imagined. We have tried the opposite, we have tried living as mere individuals striving to dominate each other and our environment, and it has lead us to this precipice.
