Jamestown, NY, USA

Hi Everyone, I found myself surprised when I entered our Open Classroom today. I'd totally forgotten that I'd changed the decor. Our school is designed in a spontaneous way that lets us know that while everything on the outside changes, there is something on the inside that always remains constant....our inner self, awareness, consciousness.

I just wanted to say good morning. It rained and rained yesterday and the green colors of the leaves and plants have deepened. The air is thick with happy nature spirits. The earth is quenching its thirst. The tiny roots below the earth are drinking like hungry babies. Altogether beautiful.

SPIRITUAL JOURNALING

Spiritual journaling is one of the best things you can do for yourself. Your open classroom offers you a perfect space for this, just in case you don't like journaling alone. I, myself, do not happen to enjoy journaling all alone. Even if no one ever reads what I write, I like writing with the idea that I am writing to someone, even if that "someone" is only the angels. Writing here in the classroom I never feel alone. I always sense all of you here. Even if I happen to know that you are someone who rarely stops by here, I still "see" you here. Visual images and energetic patterns of each of you appear to me. I feel and sense your energy.

Journaling from Jamestown, NY, USA

Here I am on the east coast of the USA, in western New York State, on Chautauqua Lake, near Lake Erie which has beaches like an ocean, with my mom and dad, helping them grow into old age. As human beings we are interdependent upon each other. We need each other to survive on earth. When we honor our interdependence in the right way, we honor each other and progress on our Path.

It is too hot here to think. Almost too hot to breathe. Humid. The air is like liquid. Haven't seen any fireflies yet. Maybe they are too heavy with moisture to fly. Maybe I haven't been in the right place at the right time.

A SPIRITUAL JOURNAL

As you enter the new year, consider keeping a spiritual journal. Write spontaneously and freely.
