Martin Luther King Jr's Day honors the human spirit that dreams of engaging the world with compassion and understanding in order to bring people of all cultures together in a peaceful way. The focus is on making a change in a peaceful way in order to support all human beings with accomplishing their dreams. As we all know, everyone has a dream within their Heart, and to achieve that goal requires strength and confidence. Those two qualities help us understand our own "story;" the values we hold dear and the Truths that support our actions. Just as important is the support of others. Living in a world without judgment or prejudice begins within each of us. Here is a clip of one of Dr. King's speeches:
"God give us leaders! A time like this demands strong minds, pure hearts and ready hands." The rest of his speech provides his personal beliefs of what qualities a leader much possess. His book, "I have a Dream" shares many of his teachings that are most important for today's world. Just as Martin Luther King Jr shared his story through words, his actions demonstrated those deep beliefs. This week is our first Deepening into Wisdom Circle, Thursday, January 18 from 6:30-8:00 p.m. we will begin a new focus for growing in wisdom. As referenced in the last blog the theme for this year is: "Sharing a Story." Each month a story will be told by a person ready to speak of an experience, a teaching, or a gift on their life that helped them strengthen their awareness in order to discover just how their life has unfolded. It may be in the form of a poem, a painting, a song, or another medium that their heart would like to express their story, so listen and following your Heart's direction. This circle is open to everyone that feels the call to attend. In light of the winter weather we are currently experiencing, Thursday looks like the best day of the week to venture out. A car pool would be lovely and supportive of an early sharing of what this first gathering might bring forth. If weather predictions change, which we know they do, this gathering may be scheduled as a Zoom meeting. Therefore, if you plan to attend, please let Vicky know by Wednesday afternoon, January 17. It is my experience, that an in person sharing offers a deeper energetic experience. Remember to bring a blanket for your lap, an open heart, a curious mind and a friend. There is no charge for this gathering, a gifting bowl is present for you to offer as a "thank you" for whatever gift you feel you received. The Clan Mother for January has been "Talks with Relations," who offers us ways to notice the gifts in many shapes and forms that are put in front of us to guide us on our path. January 25 at 12:54 p.m. the Wolf Full Moon heralds in the Clan Mother, Wisdom Keeper, for the month of February. She offers ways of honoring the Truth. Check out our 13 Clan Mother link to gain more teachings for both of these Clan Mothers. Until then, watch your dreams, you may be surprised what is brought forth. From my heart to yours, Vicky
