dear friends

IMG_0317

I bow in gratitude for your many kind words and generous acts during my recent ‘attack of the heart’. As John O’Donohue writes, [with one word added] —

May you [too] be blessed with good friends,

And learn to be a good friend to yourself,

Journeying to that place in your soul where

There is love, warmth, and feeling.

May this change you.

May it transfigure what is negative, distant,

Or cold within your heart.

May you be brought into real passion, kindness,

And belonging.

May you treasure your friends.

May you be good to them, be there for them

And receive all the challenges, truth, and light you need.

From “To bless the space between us.” (2008). Doubleday, p. 43.

    What beautiful sentiment. I hope you are on the mend. We have yet to meet but I found your website whilst googling looking for meditation classes that are held earlier in the afternoon. I wish you all the best.

    Warm greetings Peter… thank you for posting that loving picture of you and Waldi by the ocean and for all your pre-recorded meditations so readily available. Between the visual and the auditory you provide… I feel no separation. Bowing to you with love and gratitude!
