Wow! It's Monday morning and I haven't written since Wednesday. That's an indication of how much has been going on. Friend Faye and I had a beautiful time seeking truth together. And, some truths came that were unexpected but powerful for both of us. I'm still in the study mode - so many books are lying around everywhere - "The Four Agreements" - that one is providing fodder for the Men's Personal Retreat coming up here January 29. Also, Gail Sheehy's "Men's Passages." Then over on the footstool is "A Hidden Wholeness" the study book for Pod 3 members and "Lovingkindness" for Spiritual Sisters group study. On the kitchen table is a whole stack of articles and writings for a "Living Creatively" workshop I'll be doing at Lutheridge in April. Finally, in the storage building is Jim's birthday present - a zafu and zabuton - for sitting in meditation when he comes on the 26th for a few days. So I'm in heaven these days with all the inspiration for study and learning! Somehow, life can't be any better than when I'm occupied this way. And, of course, the yoga sessions continue with new friends arriving weekly!

I'd like to share a mantra I'm using these days - sorry I don't know the source - I learned it during my Interspiritual Mentor training with Joan Borysenko:

Toward the One/ The perfection of Love, Harmony, and Beauty/ The only Being/ United with all the illuminated Souls/Who form the embodiment of the Master/ The Spirit of Guidance.
