Mother’s Day: Margaret Fuller Service

May 8.  I gave my sermon on “Margaret Fuller and the Sacred Marriage” on Mother’s Day with Lee Sulivan and Rev. Ron Sala who gave my children’s story about Margaret as Mother before a stack of books by writers who made it into the American canon through her companionship, nurturing and/or inspiration:  Ralph Waldo Emerson, Henry David Theoreux, Nathaniel Hawthorne and yes, even Henry James, who was so affected as a child by the drama of her life and death that her spirit inspired his expatriate heroines!
