I spent an hour or so with my good friend Sheila a few days ago. Here’s a poem she shared with me
I Need to Breathe Deeply
Eternal Friend,
grant me an ease
to breathe deeply of this moment,
this light,
this miracle of now.
Beneath the din and fury
of great movements
and harsh news
and urgent crises,
make me attentive still
to good news,
to small occasions,
and the grace of what is possible
for me to be,
to do,
to give,
to receive,
that I may miss neither my neighbor’s gift
nor my enemy’s need.
– Ted Loder
When the transit pass costs went up, it motivated a change to riding a bike to work… and ended up with a tremendous saving of time
Here’s an example of non profits on Gabriola Island working together to raise funds and improve the wellness of the population.
‘What’s Gone Well Today’ as a meme , or culturally sticky idea is being grasped quickly these days. Conversations about it are opening new doors of opportunities for its use. In the last few days conversations in Vancouver , Victoria and Gabriola island all very encouraging on the impact the question, and the movement can have. I’ve been gathering video stories around this on Gabriola on my return here again this week. As one person from eastern Canada said, ‘ I see no end of the opportunities to use WGWT to help organizations.’ One person asked, what about talking about the dark side?
My take is that traditional media and most talk shows deal with that . In fact one stat ‘from scientific research’ I saw said we have about 60 000 thoughts in a day and 80% of them are negative. Working to refresh thought with the positive is like mining new territory for many.
Camp did go very well! I find I love it more and more with each day. I cannot believe how much I learn, but then I remember, God is infinite good, so this is very natural after all. And it makes me so happy, because the more I learn, the more I can give, which makes me want to strive more to understand. I had challenges, but every single one was satisfied. Through a good thought, a smile, a selfless act of kindness from a friend, and whatever way I needed to see the Truth. I felt simply engulfed in Love, and I knew that nothing that wasn’t Love couldn’t touch me. Something also that I was thinking, was that last year, I was scared that I’d lose that drive to grow once I left camp, and that lie crept into my head again this year. But from what I’d learned at camp, you have to recognize the error, and put it behind you. That was not a thought from God, so therefor it was untrue! I needn’t doubt in my thought for a second! You can never go back, you can never cover something back up once it’s been uncovered, and the only way is higher, towards God. I am so so grateful for my camp experience, and the experiences all around us.
