by Brendan McMahon – Dorset, England « contact Brendan »   Having read this wonderful quote by Virginia Woolf I wanted to share it: “For there is a virtue in truth; it has an almost mystic power.  Like radium, it seems to give off forever and ever grains of energy, atoms of light.” One night in mid-December many years ago, I and two of my sisters were driving along a quiet country road in the west of Ireland.  Suddenly we stopped the car in awe as we looked up at the night sky.  We got out of the car, all

by Erin Rivers – Mission, KS « contact Erin »   There are many things that those who attended the Oakwood Retreat will bring back with them. For me, one of the amazing things was the palpable way in which I could feel the Current of Love. I have attended many retreats and conferences in my life. Some have been spiritual retreats; some have been professional. In each case there is a connection of similarity that is automatic.

I feel it captures well the spirit of what we shared and how to be in our particular worlds Now.   Caretake this moment. Immerse yourself in its particulars. Respond to this person, this challenge, this deed.  Quit the evasions. Stop giving yourself needless trouble. It is time to really live; to fully inhabit the situation you happen to be in now.

by Leia Meryt, Longview, TX « contact Leia »   Sometimes the road calls to us. This summer I took a road trip that not only allowed me to see many loved ones, but brought me closer to the truth of ALL, to that which is within, and in the process, it allowed me to renew and re-vision my life in Attunement. Through the beaches of Santa Barbara, California, the Rocky Mountains, the rivers of Southwest Colorado, the Red Rocks of Sedona, AZ, then through New Mexico back around again to the flowering desert oasis of Joshua Tree, California, I
