Dear Anna, thinking of you and your dad and hope you may be able to cope and that your brother is well again. Please know that you and your father are in my prayers every day. Dear Diane, even if I was unable to share since a while, please feel all my heart being with you and with your dear sister and her daughters. You and your family are in my prayers daily, too. Dear grateful sea, may your father be guided in His Light and Love while it seems he approaches the threshold. I am so happy that you shared some of yours again. Dear Dee, may His sun shine into your heart and warm you and may your grief be consoled. My prayers are with you every morning. I too pray for lioness and the kids of her sister to be warmly embraced in His Love. May you have received some answers or will in due time, and may your pain be eased. Dear Palm, I hope your daughter is doing well. May the flow of creativity run through and into her designs. May also the ones I did not name explicitly who come to share and who visit here are embraced in His eternal Love. Blessings be with all of you.

Before falling asleep tonight, I would like to thank you all for being here, expressing and sharing of yourself. It encourages and although I could only rarely contribute since a little while already, I was partaking every day at least through reading. Every morning it is joy to come here and to feel part of the community in this sacred space is a huge gift, for which I am so grateful.
Something important to my life moved today, and in the mean time is moving me deeply. It was possible only with much support of kindred hearts, and you all here. To you all I would like to express my deepest thanks. An old debt now seems to be lifted and seems to be balanced with at least some awareness and heart´s opening movement, which is a process to be continued, of course, and joy is starting to unfold. I somehow have to pinch myself to really believe it, as the message came totally unexpected.

With this, I say good night to you for now. From my heart, may you all find sound sleep tonight. May His love watch over you.

I am so grateful for being able to be with a group of very kind people, and all the group and especially our leader during this intense experience which we are allowed to undergo deserve my deep thanks right now. All these kindred souls who are joining this retreat as well as all the many people who provide the many things to make it happen are so very kind and helpful. And then there are the ones who prepared the location; the ones who grew the plants for having the gift of eating vegetarian food and the ones who offer the delicious food for us and the ones who prepare it carefully. The ones who clean the place so that we may feel fully comfortable; and the ones who find joy in offering beauty. It requires so many hands and hearts to make it happen in the wholehearted and loving way it is done. All these and most probably many more kindred hearts who offer so generous of themselves to just make this happen for us deserve my gratitude and big thanks.

What I regret most is the kind of hidden haughtiness I felt towards others. Although it did not hurt openly, it clearly would have hurt others if it would have been visible. Not to let it appear does not make it better. I can only humbly apologize towards the ones concerned. For this to not let it happen again, it requires to understand and to love.. To punish myself is no solution but an expression of something. I just saw a short video of Br. David, where he conveys: Fear not – meaning: do not resist, instead cultivate friendliness. A really peaceful suggestion, offering help, and I will try to do so.

To honor my heart´s whisper, I should give it an expression. Related to my own, I can only say that I am fully and most gratefully committed to what I started in the groups I was allowed to join and in some writing I have done about the same theme, which is about “meditation with substance”, trying to support the magic that life holds for the sake of helping to unfold consciousness, love and freedom as best as I am able to, together with kindred hearts, to hopefully helping to realize it for the sake of all, God willing. For this I pray with all my heart.
A day full of intensity lies ahead. With love, wishing all a sunny day, a blessed day, you all out there.

Witnessing the miracle of our family working all together to realize a necessary change, while before, each of us was living seemingly apart but for the sake of creating something new, all came to bring in their talents and strengths to make it possible. My sister cooked a meal for all, my other sister made the necessary structural arrangements, my nephews and nieces brought their friends to help build the connections for communicating. All senses involved! I could do my part, and even some of the neighbors were willing to join in to clean and to carry what needed to be moved, only to make it possible. Our free commitment arrived in this “joint venture” and made it easy and pleasant to work together as a whole just in a flow and with good moods. So grateful for this inspiring experience right now.
