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 May 17th, 2026

Hello to all, and here's a story. One day an enormous elephant was walking through a clearing. It came upon a tiny little bird laying on its back. The bird's wings were spread out wide, with its feet gripping the ground fiercely. The little bird's breath came in gigantic heaves, gigantic for such a small creature that is, as it struggled mightily with its task.
“What are you doing?” Asked the elephant.
Between grasping breaths the little bird croaked out, “I'm holding back the darkness.”
The enormous elephant stared at the little bird for a moment, “You? You weigh what, two maybe three ounces at most?”
The little bird looked the enormous elephant straight in the eye and spoke clearly, “One does what one can.”

That's where we are folks. In this world of turmoil we do what we can. Let's give it another go tonight, shall we?
 
With your permission, may we sit for truth, honesty, and Divine will be done.

Reverently offered,

Richard
