A myth is a story we tell again and again, that serves to explain why something is the way it is.
A paradigm is a way that we look at things.
A paradigm shift is a fundamental change in the way we look at things.
As the Poet Alberto Rios said in his poem, When Giving is All We Have:
Giving has many faces: It is loud and quiet, big, though small, diamond in wood-nails. Its story is old, the plot worn and the pages too, but we read this book, anyway, over and again
Do we need a paradigm shift in our thinking about giving? Please join us for an exploration in the webinar:
Myths & Paradigms About Giving, hosted by the Pacific Western Region of the UUA. January 30, 2020, 7-8 pm Pacific Time, Registration here.
