Service four: ‘Masculine’ service or Why I am grateful to men

Service four - ‘Masculine’ service or Why I am grateful to men

Above is a 17-minute version of the fourth service. Please note that service recordings are designed to give you a feel for the worldview/philosophy behind services. They lack the music, visuals, and presence of other people that are part of real-time services.

Prompts for reflection:

Life's most persistent and urgent question is: 'What are you doing for others?' Martin Luther King.

This piece is both majestic and minimalist, with dense, big, life-and-death emotions simmering just below the surface, and a sense of ancient spirituality. The opening sequence feels like the state of high focus and energy required when doing something dangerous, where things can and are going wrong, and the heart is beating so fast you feel like it’s going to burst out of your chest, but you focus all that energy into the task at hand.
