Thomas, Marlene and Adeline: So blessed by how you show up to your journey and this community.  – Gratefully, Pamela.

What a powerful prayer, Linda. I feel your surrendered state.  Deep bow to you — Pamela.

Adeline, I also thought the guided Welcoming Prayer practice was extremely powerful, so much so I asked for and received the script that the person used for the meditation if you would like to see it.

So glad the United in Prayer day was so powerful for you.

So beautifully articulated, Marlene.  Thank you for your being. – Pamela

“Deep inside my body … if I stay there long enough … ” Deep wisdom, Kathleen. Thank you. – Pamela

Eben, I got a good chuckle from “sometimes the best that I can hope for is to be able to lovingly wave goodbye to myself as I watch myself go over the emotional waterfall.” Thanks for sharing this.

I’ve heard it said in other teachings that when this double-awareness is present, we’re still better off than without it, because conscious awareness is present, even as the self get stuck in the quagmire all over again. Presence is a gift, no matter what.

Grateful to be on the journey in this beloved community. – Pamela

Eileen, your prayer request was added to our staff intercessory prayer time today. – Pamela

jelliot, your prayer request has been received and added to our weekly staff prayers. – Pamela

Amen, amen, Linda. I join you in envisioning utmost charity as a global way of being. Thank you for your presence and your own practice of this way. – Pamela

Kathleen: I too am often in tears, overwhelmed by the beauty, poignancy, suffering and small joys in life, and the great hearts I encounter. This weekend, while at an art workshop, I walked into the immaculate bathroom and was suddenly overwhelmed by the person’s energy who had cleaned the bathroom overnight. My heart was so filled with gratitude and awareness of all those what work at night or the wee hours so the rest of us can function well.

The deeper we go, the more porous we become to the heart of the Beloved, which is radiating everywhere in everything and everyone. – Pamela

Adeline, your reflections are like a balm to my soul, because you swim so freely in liminal space. You witness for me the realities and power of this dimension of Reality.  Thank you. – Pamela

Thanks, Kathleen, for pointing out the hazards of “vigilance.” I love that you make drawings to remind yourself of the all-loving God. – Pamela

Thank you for describing this ordinary but beautiful gathering, and your presence among them. – Pamela

Adeline: Wow, such a profound witness. I bow to you as you swim the depths of nothingness. I love what you said: “Stewarding is not auditing a life; it is giving it away according to the ONE who is fashioning it into a NO-THING.” – Pamela

Brenda:  What a testament to your deep practice that you can be so grateful amidst difficulties.  Deep bow, and my prayers are with you. – Pamela
