As Grandmother Universe in her cosmic coat I was so grateful for the opportunity to tell my story, Grandmother’s Timely Treasures. Usually I tell it to the small retreat groups in the spiral woodland labyrinth as I guide them through the Stations of the Cosmos here at our home, Gaia Farmhouse Retreat in the Algonquin Highlands. This time I’m telling a story of the Powers of the Universe at Holy Trinity RC High School in Oakville, Ontario.

Thanks to Dr. Daisy Radiga, I was part of a team that included High School and School Board Chaplains at their second annual People of Life retreat.

Dr. Daisy and her colleague Bob Isenberger presented a magnificent slide show as they introduced the students to the Powers.

Next, was the video The Awakening Universe.

The worship, The Cosmic Story of Cosmic Love, was based on the work of Fr. Vinny Busch, SSC, celebrating nine sacred moments in the universe story.

Chaplain Kim Gottfried-Piche led the students in dance to “Listen To The Heart Beat” prior to a time of art as meditation on the powers.

In Grandmother’s Timely Treasures I discovered how the students could identify the powers flowing through their lives. They seemed to like the connections.

The day closed with wonderous movement and singing to, Christ Be Our Light.
