This is a beginning collection of what I'm finding- in no particular order and with no themes fleshed out yet.
Also possibly on the dock:
*Nicole Nordman is recording a song
with John Martin spoken word
*this Sufjan track possibly:

*I have audio of a Richard Rohr talk from his Trinity conference and am looking for gold. Maybe him leading a meditation would work better?
*Gregg Nordin is working on a possible activity to go along with the Trinity ideas...
*Graham Murtaugh Poem below:
Venn diagram
Weary, worn down, I am caught
by a sudden hovering, a trick
of light on leaves, endless
in its unrepeated shifting
I stand stock still, all gawking
wonder at sundry unseen
forces escalating intersecting
impaling inquiring illuminating
Me—the broad-leaf maple awash
in vibrant sunspots splotching hatching
dapples of itself and me
in varied verdant hues:
slender shoots of viridescence press against
a deep luxury of green, tender
play of leaf-on-leaf weaves a darkness
that proves the light. Collapsed colliding venerated,
a hundred hundred Venns
diagram untold shifting lights, kaleidoscoping
into, out of every other, the holy over
-under on sensuous display
Brinded shadows play in passing eyes
of every shade, each iris’ soft ring expands silver
steel, hazel-gray, sapphire, palest blue
dot: caught
In the luminescent, transcendent swaying
of this founding maple, the maple
under which I lay, undone
by all that is unraveling above me
In such common, simple
stillness: the passing of an errant breeze--
irruptive, irreverent—casts loose
every light and shadow, shaken off
And scattered. Never to be held
or captured, free for the finding:
shadows on shadows, lights
within lights.
