The Epic of Gilgamesh is the Story of your Life

The Epic of Gilgamesh is the oldest written story in the world -- 4,000 years old -- but remarkably, still speaks to what it is to be human in the world: heartbroken and reconciled to loss.
Rev. David retells the story and reflects on it in this, excerpted from a 1/12/25 service at the Unitarian Universalist Church of Boulder.
