My son was a very troubled person three years ago and now he has prevailed and found himself. He wrote to Mr. Meade from his location of incarceration. We both still hope that Mr. Meade may be able to come to Wyoming to speak and inspire others. If not, my son will spread his words of wisdom. Thank you !

It seems slowing down can be mostly an individual choice in the moment, but cultivating community takes time and effort over the long term. We have online communities where we can connect "virtually", but they don't even come close to the richness of physically being (and doing things) with others. Sometimes I'm clear that we're best served by reverting to the old ways of physical connection. Other times I wonder if technology and culture might evolve to allow the virtual connections to be much richer than they are now - and perhaps (is this possible?) even richer in some ways than current physical connections. Perhaps a bit of both maybe? Slowing down and cultivating the community – two very good things!

Thank you for Joanna's meditation. I am fortunate to be a guest in Chiapas, Mexico. The TV news coverage here provides information about the Mexican rescue teams and an address to donate to "our brothers in Haiti". I appreciate the message that those specific words send to the public here as the information scrolls continuously across the screen. Be well. kay Thank you Werner for your website, your concern for the people of Haiti. Thank you for Joanna’s meditation.

Seeing the world united for a common cause is in honor of you, the men, women, and children killed in the earthquake, the orphans left behind. You have given us hope in an otherwise harsh, harsh world. Anaika, your eyes of suffering, your eyes calling out to all of humanity–its time to come together.

Everywhere I go- to the Y, to the grocery store, to a meeting, people are talking about Haiti, opening their hearts. So many powerful prayers are being offered in small and large groups, so much aid coming in, so many stories we will never hear of regular folks helping each other. I'm grateful that many of us have received deep training from people like Joanna that prepares us to look directly at the suffering rather than away from it. It seems that this training gives us a way to be in solidarity with the pain that is being experienced in Haiti, moment by moment, something not possible before these teachings were being delivered to ordinary folks, not possible before times of technology. It seems to me that there just may be sufficient awareness of how energy works, of our interbeing, of the web of life, for Haiti to be a catalyst for the human family to shine love and light more or less simultaneously on one spot. So many possibilities for consciousness-raising are here- one being, as the US troops help people get food and ship in supplies for life instead of weapons for death, many military folks have the chance to notice how different those actions feel. Glad to be in community with you all around this.
