Cultivate the Light
Or Try this, next zoom meeting you have… Light a candle and notice the difference. Next time you have a meal - Light a candle, and notice the difference. Next time you meditate and notice the difference.
Or you can even light a candle next time you feel sad, lonely, disconnected, or hopeless
I do, because it reminds me of Spirit. Try it and notice the difference.

Preparing the Way, an Optimistic View of Our Future as a Spiritual Community
I’m extremely optimistic about our future because there is a backlog of people like you and me
who love each other and long to connect, hug, commune, and be together…and we will have that again.
I’m extremely optimistic about our future because of the pandemic we now know things
that we never knew before. We now know that yes, we can adapt, connect in new ways, and evolve quickly and learn fast.
And what we knew before has been strengthened…now we know the value of community
like
we never knew it before. We now know how important it is for us to get
up, dress up, get out, connect, share, argue, interact, hug, laugh,
cry, mourn and celebrate together.
I’m extremely optimistic about
our future because I know that the consciousness I develop and reside
in shapes the future for me, for each other, for the world. I’m
extremely optimistic about our future because there is power for Good in
the universe and we can use it. Indeed we are using it right now in a
constructive, creative, powerful way, to imagine a post pandemic
community reality where we are together again.

Reclaiming Time to Think, with Edward and Kevin Viljoen
This week's message is inspired by Margaret Wheatley's book, Turning to One Another, Simple Conversations to Restore Hope to the Future. Did you know that you can order our recommended books of the month through our Stepping Stones Books and Gifts? You can. We'll mail the book to you, or you can arrange for a curbside pickup. Of course, you could order from one of the giant online stores, or you can support our local Center bookstore! We'd love that. It's in keeping with the idea of turning to one another, I think.
The chapter assigned for this week is about reclaiming time to think. Thinking is one of the powerful, creative powers we humans have, and in an increasingly fast-paced society, time to think is something we have to mindfully, and consciously choose. No one, Margaret Wheatley suggests, is going to carve the time out for us. We get to do that for ourselves, and when we do, from our thinking comes creative solutions, new ideas, and the inspiration we need to live a thriving life.
Don't be surprised though, if you encounter resistance to taking time to think. The resistance shows up in ourselves in the same way we sometimes resist starting a new diet or exercise plan, and, it shows up in those around us who prefer to keep things exactly the way they have always been, because thinking creates, changes, and inspires.

Seeing Good At Work

I have been through the book three times over three years, and am starting it again. This is not because the material in the book is not working, but because it is working so well! The weekly lessons keep me on track and focused on what is actually true and important, and help me experience more good in every area of my life. LS
