I will be at The Esalen Institute on Big Sur for a month and then in Death Valley for a period of time on a Vision Fast. (What's a Vision Fast, you ask?

Welcome Notes Rain is falling hard outside my office window, a background of noise that matches the dull steel colored clouds hovering low on the mountains.

Subject: The Core Remains Vital Celebrating the Journey Special Edition Monday, September 17, 2001 ~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~= Celebrating the Journey will appear in its usual format on Wednesday. The following piece by Tom Crum is too important not to present in its entirety, now. I have seen many essays during the past week that have affected me deeply. This is one of the very best. I offer it as a gift to you and as a challenge as well. Celebrate life! Namaste, Margo We have been shaken to the core. And yet...and yet...if we have the courage to be still, to feel and to listen within, we will discover that, underneath the rubble, the core remains vital. It is to this core, this place beyond our tears, our anger, and our fears, that we now must go. This journey to this center [...]

Subject: Words for Healing Celebrating the Journey September 14, 2001 Words for Healing My tears seem endless today. They well in both joy and sadness at the images and sounds of The Star Spangled Banner played at Buckingham Palace, the lines of cheering supporters applauding the rescuers as they move down the Westside Highway, the pain of close friends who have lost loved ones, the images of stunned people wandering the streets of New York holding photographs of missing family members. And at the sound of angry hateful messages left on answering machines of Arab Americans, the story of a weapon being fired into a mosque, the images of hateful saying spray painted on windows. Each of us have a choice to make: we can rage and hate or we can unite and love. Which choice will you make? I [...]
