Welcome to our Community Sharings!
We invite you to help it grow from the inside out.
That which is harmful to you,
do not do to another.
That is the whole law.
The rest is mere commentary.
-- Hillel, 100 B.C.

Dancing the Dream
Where are the dances of Oneness,
That I knew before my birth?
Did I surrender my wholeness
In order to walk the Earth?
Did I choose forgetting
In order to make life real?
Did I inhabit a human body
So I could learn how to feel?
I am here to dance the dream
In my sacred human form.
To celebrate my uniqueness
And ask no other to conform
Dancing through lifeβs lesson,
I will learn to move with grace,
While I dream of remembering
The potential of the human race.

This is a download that came to me in early 2019. I am always encouraged to start with what I have in my hands....this is it. This is what we have in our hands. We have love and each other. That is all we need. Even our earth is completely sustained by pure love! What a beautiful reality to know this!

Sun 5 Dec 9am EST - Community film day
La Belle Verte is written and directed by Colline Serreau, a woman film maker from France. Apart from its pro nature stance, La Belle Verte is also a searing attack on consumerist society where modern human beings have no idea of nature's power. French spoken - English subtitles - more details to come.

I began to paint in an art journal when my friend encouraged me to after the death of my daughter β after having never held a paint brush before. To paint life - living things β played with painting trees with all shapes, colors and sizes. I got started with an artist online, Amy Maricle of www.mindfulartstudio.com She offers a free Slow Drawing Class online every week when you sign up.

Rebecca for Hugs
Rebecca of BNL community and We Are Open Circle was driving from Boston to Florida with her teenage niece. She reached out to me to say that she was going to pull off her route to drive into New York City so we could HUG. She did just that. Double-parked outside my Hellβs Kitchen, Manhattan building, she hopped out of her car so we could hug. What a treat. A hug. Remember them? The highlight of my life right now! Thank you, Rebecca! So good. I am so touched by your caring. So grateful for our community.
(I asked her if I could point her in the right direction to take her niece to some things that she might want to visit in NYC, and she said, βIβm not spending any money in New York City.β Exactly!)
