We are an affiliated congregation of the Unitarian Universalist Association and the Mountain Desert District
From Our Minister, Reverend Wendy Jones The really magical things are the ones that happen right in front of you. A lot of the time you keep looking for beauty, but it is already there. And if you look with a bit more intention, you see it. ~ Vik Muniz Last week we held our traditional “time capsule” service when we reflected on the past year and made some predictions for the upcoming year. It is a service that is meant to be light -hearted and fun.
:
I noticed that there were fewer predictions this year. After the service, a number of people came up to me and said, “I didn’t say anything because all of my predictions are negative, and I didn’t want to be so pessimistic.” I am thinking about that sentiment as I write this newsletter article. What will 2022 bring to us? After 2020 & 2021 I understand why many of us are hesitant to embrace this new year with joy, hope and

optimism. We still have a lot on our plate both individually and collectively. And so, as I reflect on the theme for the month of January, “living with intention,” I realize that we don’t have control over the chaotic world that we live in. But we do have control over our intentions. A few years ago, one of our congregants invited me to come to her home and sit in her garden with her. She showed me through her home and pointed out the many pictures, trinkets, plants & decorations. Every single item in her home had a story behind it, and had been placed with loving thoughtful intention in the “perfect place.” I remember thinking to myself, what if I slowed down and lived my own life with that amount of intention? How might my own world change? I think of her home often, especially when I feel like I am out of balance or out of control. I ask myself a few questions: Am I living with intentionality right now, or am I just spinning in my own chaos? Am I steering my ship so to speak or just bobbing on the waves? Is the life I am living one of my own intentional creation, or a conglomeration of a series of unconscious reactions? Over the years, I have found her example, and those self-reflective questions helpful, especially when I am feeling out of balance. Maybe one of the things we can do is embrace the upcoming year with the understanding that we have control over our intentions even when we don’t have control over all of the circumstances around us. I have no idea what 2022 is going to bring, and after the last few years, I agree that is it better not to try to predict the unpredictable. But I can promise that if we decide to choose the intention with which we enter into this new year and each individual moment within it, we will feel more empowered to embrace this new year with a bit of hope, optimism and joy. At least that is my intention. With Love, Rev. Wendy

From UUCGV Director of Music, Miriam Deming When I think about intentionally being in the moment, so many musical memories come to mind: singing with the CMU choirs in Carnegie Hall, a moment when the marriage of the vocal and orchestral music made such sweet harmony that it resonated in my soul, outside of the confines of time. Singing at my vocal senior recital--the moment my pounding heart calmed down and my singing settled in to a mixture of muscle memory and emotional connection with the meaning of the song, each inflection and note intentionally placed. Many opening nights on a stage for a musical, feeling the crescendo of the instruments in the pit and the energy of the audience reverberate inside me and fill me with expectation. The time I sang with the Western Colorado Chorale and I looked across the audience at my mom, and we connected, and she knew I was singing the encouraging words directly to her. We ran across the hallway toward each other when that concert ended and just fell into each other's arms. Of course, I can think of many non-musical moments that stand out as well. Times in nature with the best of friends, my wedding, and the birth of my children (I've never been more intentionally in a moment), to mention a few. But also...times of grief. Grief brings us surprisingly starkly into a moment as well. Those are moments I guard in my heart, harder to speak on a public platform, but needing a release in face-to-face conversations. I guess this month's blurb from me waxes philosophical. We all carry this smorgasbord of moments where we are so fully filled with grief, peace, joy, or love. And sometimes we need to express those moments. And create more. I love this quote: “The power of intention is the power to manifest, to create, to live a life of unlimited abundance, and to attract into your life the right people at the right moments.” - Wayne Dyer I hope you keep intentionally creating. Whether by coming to sing with us, or by any positive form of self-expression you hold dear, I wish you a month of being present in the whatever moment may arise. Miriam Deming, UUCGV Choir Director music@grandvalleyuu.org Adult choir meets Wednesdays from 6:30-8pm. Modern Band, for K-12 aged kids, meets Wednesdays from 5:20-6pm. 3
From UUCGV Green Team Our UUCGV “Green Team” is back in action after the COVID lockdown and is sprouting great ideas. The Green Team began as an effort by our congregation to address the problem of climate change in a ways that help our local community. We stopped meeting in March of 2020 but began a virtual meeting again, via Zoom, in September of 2021. We have several of the original members meeting with us and guiding us. We also have new members. There are so many things to do! Here are some of our ideas: 1. Continue working on our UU Certification. Richard Hyland put an amazing amount of work into that project and we see no reason to abandon it. It will provide us with more resources via the UU organization than we could ever come up with on our own. 2. Continue working with Mesa County Library Discovery Garden. Mary Delbecq has been working in the compost piles at the garden. The great artwork on the burlap bags that hold the bins together is hers. But not only the aesthetics, she takes the plant food waste from our Tuesday Blah Blah and turns it in to the Compost the garden uses to enrich it’s soils. New ideas we are considering: 1. A column in our monthly UU Newsletter with ideas and tips on how to save energy, reduce waste, recycle and other helpful lifestyles to make things better for the climate on earth. 2. Education projects for the Grand Valley on water use, plastic waste, protection of wildlife both animal and plants – A. Continue to work within our own sanctuary to update our procedures to be less wasteful and to consider alternative sources for our energy needs. 4
(Continued on page 5)
B. Work with Library, Western Colorado Alliance, and others to provide education about the reality of climate change and how it affects our lives using. I. Film festival on Earth Day. II. Create brochures and/or Web sites that address individual problems such as recycling, reduction of waste products in food, plastics, clothing etc. C. Educate locals about water use and its effects on our valley and downstream on the Colorado River. D. District 51 garden clubs including Tri River Extension and the Discovery Garden at the Library. E. Letter writing campaign to elected government officials about to our need address to climate change. 3. Work with other like-minded organizations in our community to pool resources, ideas, labor and materials to accomplish our goals. 4. Each person on the Green Team has an idea for projects so they will work to discover and design ways to help with their particular interest. Our December meeting was very exciting with everyone attending having a say about the things that concern them most. We’ll be paring down our list to add one project to concentrate on for the year 2022. If you would be interested in joining us, email us at green@grandvalleyuu.org or reach out to Ann Barrett at angelinebarrett2@gmail.com or 970-241-6006. - Ann Barrett, Green Teammate Join us for our next Green Team discussion on January 6th at 7:00pm via Zoom.

Revelations This is a monthly column helping us to get to know our friends and members in a deeper way. We thank Monte High for taking the time to do these in-depth interviews for us. Have you seen the butterfly fairy fluttering around the UUCGV building, conspiring with hummingbirds and bees, musing from blossom to blossom? With a serene smile, she stoops and bends, she kneels amongst the green, a Woman of God kneading the soil, a flower-child caressing the leaves, love flowing from her fingertips, sprouting delight, all around her flourishing colors of the rainbow bright. If you listen faithfully you can hear, Joanie Mitchell singing – vibrations, joyful, near: “we are stardust, we are golden, and we’ve got to get ourselves back to the garden”. Ann Barrett opened her arms (revealed her wings) and volunteered to tend the UUCGV garden this past year. She also recently volunteered to lead our Green Team, which gets together to tend to the Earth. Ann is grateful to be a part of the UUCGV community. She appreciates the camaraderie, the relationship with like-minded people. She enjoys the intellectual stimulation. She loves the sacred nature that is nurtured here, and the inspiration she receives from the Services. She feels that we fill her need for a spiritual connection, that we are blessed with a magnificent Minister. Many of you don’t know Ann, because she’s just recently become more active in the congregation; however, she’s been fluttering around the Grand Valley UU’s for decades – since 1973. Over that span her participation in the church has waxed and waned like a long, drawn-out cycle of the moon. The more you converse with her the more her carefully cultivated, subtle sense of humor comes out to play. Yet, now is the time to bend the story back a few moons, to her beginning. Ann was born at the Naval Hospital in Chelsea, Massachusetts. Her mother had contracted tuberculosis during World War II, so she had to be quarantined away from Ann. Ann was cared for by a special Navy intern, whom her mother and father said really loved her, and cared for her during the first three months of her life. After that they moved to Glasgow, Kentucky to live with her grandmother. Then she received extra special care from George, the dog. Because of the Navy, her family moved around a lot during her early years. Ann had three sisters and a brother; she was the oldest, and of course THE BOSS. When Ann was 12 years old her family settled in Ventura, California. Her father (who was an engineer) took a job at Point Mugu Naval Base. Although their house was a little rough around the edges (the girls slept upstairs in an unfinished room) their father bought it because it had such beautiful views of the ocean, and it had space for five kids. He was also impressed that it had an intercom system. The entire family was awakened early every morning by a loud recording of reveille. Over the first few years, Ann‘s mother remodeled the house into a wonderland – the upstairs enclave for the girls was perfect. Ann could hear the ocean from her bed at night; it was so comforting. And then the trumpets blaring in the morning! Ann was an extremely shy child, perhaps as a result of moving so often at a young age. One day while playing games at church someone accidentally “stepped on” her face. She saw stars and nearly passed out, but didn’t cry until she went into the bathroom, looked into the mirror and saw that 6
her nose was bent off to the side. She had to wear a pink mask for weeks – so everyone in middle school noticed her for the first time. (Maybe somewhere in her subconscious she realized that if she could handle the attention from this embarrassing situation, and that it wasn’t half bad, she could muster the courage to come out of her shell.) Anyway, when she entered high school, she was bound and determined to try and reach out and be more social. She auditioned to become a pom-pom girl. Being a pom-pom girl and performing in front of crowds boosted her self-confidence. As she settled into her life in Ventura, she became more outgoing. Ann attended the local Ventura Junior-College for two years, with most of her friends. She then spent one miserable semester at Fresno State, until she received a scholarship to the University of California, Santa Barbara, which is 30 miles from Ventura. This was the late 60s, so yes, Ann was a bit of a flower child, grateful for the seasons of love, turning, turning. She ended up with a degree in medieval literature simply because that is the direction that the most interesting classes carried her. Yet, during her spirited college days, Ann also saw a lot of stupid things happening. Violence broke out at some of the antiwar protests. There were riots in the evenings. During one of the riots, Ann witnessed an event which she will never forget. She was walking home from a late class and noticed a big group of people near her apartment. (She lived on Sabado Tarde street, Spanish for Saturday Afternoon.) All of a sudden, a boy threw a Molotov cocktail into the crowd. Someone identified him and the crowd quickly turned into a mob. Practically right at her feet, they had a knife to his throat, ready to kill him. Ann and others who were more sane in the moment started yelling – STOP. Fortunately, at that time there were enough of them horrified by the mindless violence that they were able to prevent the guy from getting killed. Also, around this time some idiot set a bomb in the professor’s lounge and a janitor was killed when he went in to clean. Then a copycat bomber decided to one-up that, and blew the Bank of America building to smithereens. These events brought martial law to town. Eventually, the National Guard came too; but they were mostly young men who just drove around in dump trucks during the day, ogling the girls. After a whirlwind romance, Ann got married after graduating from college in 1970. They moved to Grand Junction in 72, after Mike finished his alternate service for being a conscientious objector to the Vietnam War. It wasn’t easy adjusting to the conservative atmosphere of Grand Junction, but she had a small group of close friends, some from the Unitarian Congregation. What Ann liked about Grand Junction was the farming community. She strode into an adventure, venturing to raise awareness, to bring people into alignment with their connection to nature. She got involved trying to bring solar energy to the Valley “but, well, Reagan put a hold on that”. Her son Alex was born in 7
1975, and she divorced about nine months later. Ann was a single mother for nine years; her mother -in-law was a big help. She married Ed and they were together for 23 years but trying to be in business together drove a wedge between them. They are still friends. He and his wife still come over for dinner occasionally, and they all get along well, as long as they don’t talk about business or food (they are both adamant vegans). When Ann was 50 years old, she started the business of Meadowlark Gardens. It was a lot of hard work. It took up a lot of her time. (Which is why she didn’t attend the UU church during this period of her life.) Running a plant nursery/garden center is like doing farming and retail, which are both very demanding business enterprises in themselves. Yet, she loved every minute of it. She noticed some people would come just to be amongst the plants, like a botanical garden, not planning to buy anything. Yet Ann didn’t mind and actually found fulfillment in this – providing them the space to find peace of mind and experience joy in the garden. This is what she loved about the business, after all, being amongst the plants and spreading the love of all things sprouting green and wonderfully growing. Her way of tending to the Earth. (FYI, the beautiful fountain on our UUCGV patio was donated by Ann.) In 2015, after dating for several years, Ann and Frank agreed to adorn their plot and get married. Ann gained two stepsons, John and Tom. They have lived in their home on Mayfield Drive for three years now. A few years ago, Ann concluded that it was time to close up shop, say goodbye to Meadowlark Gardens, and deploy her green thumbs elsewhere. The economy wasn’t making things easy, and 70 was just around the corner, so she let it go and embraced retirement. She let her eyes wander, searching for spaces in need of pure fertilization, places where she could keep her hands working, spreading the joy of the Garden. Nature, she’s still digging it. She’s found many wonderful places to volunteer. She even hit the sound waves, helping with a radio program on KAFM called “Diggin’ The Garden. The projects most beloved by Ann involve working (playing) with children. She is currently working with a group of friends to get garden clubs started in the schools. They formed a club last year that was a great success. The kids loved it, even showing up early in the morning to weed. This is such wonderful, important, experience for the kids. Ann’s group just met with the local Colorado State University Extension Office to convince them to help spread the garden club program further into the local school system. They are excited about this prospect. People get so much joy from living organisms. You love your dog or your cat, yet you get such a reward from growing plants, whether from the harvest or simply being in the midst of their beauty or their shade. Ann gets so much fulfillment from revealing the secret that should be so obvious, that the garden brings peace of mind. The garden brings a satisfaction with self that cannot be found in technology. So many people are living virtual lives, finding it hard to sleep and becoming depressed. Ann wants to show the children the joy that can be found out-of-doors. Ann wants to awaken a world that has forgotten the wonder of being – of being in relationship with the Garden. Life flows on...

I came upon a child of God He was walking along the road And I asked him where are you going And this he told me I'm going on down to Yasgur's farm * I'm going to join in a rock 'n' roll band I'm going to camp out on the land I'm going to try an' get my soul free We are stardust We are golden And we've got to get ourselves Back to the garden Then can I walk beside you I have come here to lose the smog And I feel to be a cog in something turning Well maybe it is just the time of year Or maybe it's the time of man I don't know who I am But you know life is for learning We are stardust We are golden And we've got to get ourselves Back to the garden By the time we got to Woodstock We were half a million strong And everywhere there was song and celebration And I dreamed I saw the bombers Riding shotgun in the sky And they were turning into butterflies Above our nation We are stardust Billion year old carbon We are golden Caught in the devil's bargain And we've got to get ourselves back to the garden ~ Joni Mitchell -Woodstock (1970) 9

Change for Change is Back! Each month we collect change (coins) from the offertory baskets and donate it to a local charity. This effort usually brings in about $100/month.
Our January Change for change will go to Homeward Hounds, first-ofits-kind collaboration with HomewardBound to provide temporary shelter for people experiencing homelessness with their pets! This project was made possible by PetSmart Charities. Ten pet-friendly, climate controlled Pallet Shelters have been erected at HomewardBound's North Avenue location! Because non-service animals cannot be accommodated inside HomewardBound's facilities due to congregate dorm-style setup, individuals with pets must make the difficult choice between separating from their beloved pets or risking personal safety by staying out in the elements. The Homeward Hounds project allows houseless pet owners to sleep securely in a private room with their pets – something no other homeless shelter in the country accommodates. Our December Change for Change went to Mosaic in Western Colorado.
