About Heart Sessions

Hello all. This blog is intended to honor the group meditations initiated by Tom Sawyer, now carried on by friends of his since his passing. Being physically spread out as we are we have agreed to sit down in our own homes at the same clock time, 9pm EST on Sunday nights. We sit for at least 20 minutes, although sitting for longer periods is no problem if you so choose.


There is no specified technique for these meditations. Precisely prescribed actions sometimes become unauthentic and what is meaningful for one person may not be for another. So if you choose to assist you may use a favored technique or listen within, apply self-honesty, and allow growth. There is no political or economic agenda involved. There are no dues or dogma. The essential point is an honest willingness to help.


Each week there is a suggested focus as posted on this blog. We previously had been using an email list but now, through the kind assistance and generous guidance of Barbara Whitfield and Donald Brennan, we have the pleasure of this blog forum. Loving thanks to you both. Comments may be left by clicking the "Leave Comments Here" link below each post.

For Sunday February 7th, 2015

Hello all, if you could line up all the plants and animals in the world you would find astonishing similarities. Trying to chronicle the exacting differences between some animals, and even between many plants and animals, could drive you wacky. Or, alternatively, might open your mind to the vast unending joy of creation.

From microbes which live in solid ice, to entire colonies at the sunless bottom of oceans, to insects found miles high in the air, the Earth is a playground for creation.

The joy of such creativity is still untold in human history. With our psychological tendency to catalogue, measure, and compare, the vast majority of us have yet to see it. In our thinking we even separate ourselves from each other. 

How long can we look at the beauty of fractals, a mathematical expression of the endless joy of creation, and not see the same in humanity and nature?

May we sit this Sunday for infinitely unfolding joy. May we find it within. May we share it with all.

Thank you,

Richard
