		<description>That's a good question.

I am currently reading Ken Wilber's "A Brief History of Everything" and I am not sure that it fits into any of the six sources.</description>

		<description>So here are some suggestions, which are on my own summer reading list as I plan next year's sermons. (The first three paragrpahs are by UU authors.)

For "direct experience of transcending mystery and wonder," a book of William Carlos Williams's poetry.

"Jewish and Christian teachings..." -- I'm going to read some late Lames Luther Adams. I'm also planning to reread Hosea Ballou's "Treatise on Atonement." Someday, I want to read heavily in the Mishnah, but probably not this year.

"Humanist teachings..." -- I'm planning on reading Kurt Vonnegut's last book, and maybe one of his novels that I haven't yet read.

From non-UU authors, I'm planning on *heavy* reading in Frederick Douglass ("Words and deeds of prophetic men and women").

As for world religions, I just bought Thich Nhat Hahn's translation and commentary on the Diamond Sutra, and I hope to take on at least one other Pali text (probably some of the Jataka tales).

Then there's all the stuff that won't fit into the six sources, but which seems essential -- Grace Paley's poetry and stories, poetry by Audrey Lorde, poetry by Gwendolyn Brooks.

Summer won't be long enough.</description>

		<description>For your Jewish source work, some light summer reading would be Julius Lester's _When the Beginning Began_, as he tells the tales of Genesis in his own turn at midrash.

More Stories for All Ages than Deep Discussion for Adult Forum, though it gives some definite opportunities for transformation.</description>
