Thank you, Omar, for the transparency of your free-flowing blog. May your 10 days bring your heart- mind the medicine needed now. Falling into the Silence of Source … is a sacred place of refreshment in my experience. I’ll be holding you in my meditations, if that’s alright with you.

You’re a beautiful soul, Omar. Peace.

Beautiful Kate. Thank you so much for the influence you have on my life and support. I look forward to our next meditation and thanks for keeping me in yours. I will hold you in mine as well - if that is ok!

Enjoy your retreat and rest of well. My heart too is broken by so much cruelty and lack of consideration for those who are caught between the autocrats and extremists, greed and poverty, truth and deception. The only thing that makes it better is knowing that the les mechants are a small small segment of the world, and that someday, the wheels of karma will make themselves known.

Beautifully said Claudia! great reminders. We are fighting each other but most of us are caught in the crossfire blindly. Thanks for that

We all from left to right, are feeling the pressure of what's happening in the Middle East. We all carrying a big guilt on our hearts. But that comes from our helplessness and not hopelessness. I'm afraid the future will be very blink and need to get ready for the next unfortunate changes. We don't have to go to far to see and feel the injustice. However, in "my way", to feel the pain of others is to volunteer with groups who are trying to help others to coup with their hopelessness. Or, taking a big physical challenge of a looooong distance hiking or mountain climbing. That get your body busy and give your mind a break of internal voices.
