Good News About Freedom: You Can Do It

A few announcements today, and a sacred poem.

Next weekend in Seattle….Saturday afternoon 7/26 we will have a meetup (suggested donation $10) in the Lake Forest Park Library.

Many people have RSVP’d so come on time if you want a seat in the meeting room. Can’t wait to meet you if you come. Here’s the link to find out more and to get on the RSVP list.

Monday, July 28th at 9 am Pacific Time we start the 8 week teleclass
MONEY: Loving Your Money Story. A powerful way to dig into your money confusion, worries, fears or irritations. Huge relief, and freedom, can result from inquiry on money.
Wednesday, July 30th at 9 am Pacific we start the 8 week teleclass Our Wonderful Sexuality. A newly revised, and very fun, look at what we believe about physical contact with others. If you notice you feel less than light, happy and thrilled about sex, join us!

Friday, August 1st Final Month of Summer Camp For The Mind!Only $97 and you can join any calls Monday 4 pm, Tuesday 8 am, Thursday 9:30 am (all times are Pacific Time). We don’t meet every single week, but many dates to choose from. Every call we arrive, get still, fill out a Judge Your Neighbor worksheet, and do The Work.

After the summer….Year of Inquiry (YOI) begins in September. This is a small private group of inquirers who commit to a whole year of questioning thoughts together, with a new topic every month and two in-person retreats. More on YOI in weeks ahead.

If you long to see how inquiry leads to the deepest peace and awakening through practice, come see, come see.

You can do it.

Love, Grace

The Good News 

They don’t publish 
the good news. 
The good news is published 
by us. 
We have a special edition every moment, 
and we need you to read it. 
The good news is that you are alive, 
and the linden tree is still there, 
standing firm in the harsh Winter. 
The good news is that you have wonderful eyes 
to touch the blue sky. 
The good news is that your child is there before you, 
and your arms are available: 
hugging is possible. 
They only print what is wrong. 
Look at each of our special editions. 
We always offer the things that are not wrong. 
We want you to benefit from them 
and help protect them. 
The dandelion is there by the sidewalk, 
smiling its wondrous smile, 
singing the song of eternity. 
Listen! You have ears that can hear it. 
Bow your head. 
Listen to it. 
Leave behind the world of sorrow 
and preoccupation 
and get free. 
The latest good news 

is that you can do it.
