Michael Meade and The Light Inside Dark Times


Warmest Greetings

On October 23rd and 24th I had the great opportunity to be part of a Michael Meade evening lecture and day long workshop. Every time I participate in an experience with Michael I am changed and deepened in some meaningful and heartfelt way. There are many powerful and wise voices who bring forth some form of gift for us in these times, and Michael Meade is certainly among them. For any of you who may not be familiar with Michael and would like more information - where you can listen to, read excerpts, and view videos to get glimpses into this work and/or purchase CD's or books - please visit the Mosaic website at http://www.mosaicvoices.org/. Your purchases also go toward supporting Mosaic Multicultural Foundation and the very important work they do with youth and veterans and a diversity of others. Please also consider sharing this information with others. Thank you so much.

Peace ~ Molly

If the divine waits to be found nearby or within, then all those qualities relegated to heaven might be found right on earth. In that case, this realm becomes more sacred and each being in it something to approach with greater respect. Yes such notions only appear where people become willing to bow to the reverence of life and bend low enough so that the heart can rise above the head with its fixed attitudes and strange need to be superior to other elements of creation....

Only those who have yet to learn the ways of this world and the sorrow it can cause celebrate war and conflict...

When people or nations or cultures fall out of the stories that preserve the greater sense of life, they become merchants of death by simple default. Death is the default position whenever the gift of life and the mysteries of love become overshadowed. In the end all stories are love stories; each life and each tale the residue of loving and not loving, each the result of striking blindly at life and trying to find the light of love in this world...
