 Any trail guide will have a preference of trails, will know some areas of the country better than others, and if good at the trade, the guide’s goal will be to share the trip in such a way that each traveler on the journey will experience the best of the country. Such is the goal of “Meditation Is More Than You Think”.

 This course contains information about meditation: some of the effects most often realized, some pitfalls to avoid, some quotations about meditation, and most importantly, some examples of meditation styles, so each participant can metaphorically smell the air, enjoy the scenery and experience different kinds of meditation. By experiencing a broad array of possible techniques, the participant can choose one or more to use and delve into deeper, as a regular spiritual practice. This is a survey course. It is important to enter into the study with an open mind, a “Beginner’s Mind.” Enjoy your journey.

This 10 week Class Begins the 3rd Tuesday of October 1 :00-3:00 pm. 

Cost is $200.  Email RevRoseTheVillageCSL@gmail.com if interested. 

Poem 

(In honor of Ron Bowman, who left this earthly plane on Thursday, August 3, 2023, he is survived by his bride of 34 years, D'angelee Bowman) 

Beloved

Though we need to weep your loss,
You dwell in that safe place in our hearts,
Where no storm or night or pain can reach you.

Your love was like the dawn
Brightening over our lives
Awakening beneath the dark
A further adventure of colour.

The sound of your voice
Found for us
A new music
That brightened everything.

Whatever you enfolded in your gaze
Quickened in the joy of its being;
You placed smiles like flowers
On the altar of the heart.
Your mind always sparkled
With wonder at things.

Though your days here were brief,
Your spirit was live, awake, complete.

We look towards each other no longer
From the old distance of our names;
Now you dwell inside the rhythm of breath,
As close to us as we are to ourselves.

Though we cannot see you with outward eyes,
We know our soul's gaze is upon your face,
Smiling back at us from within everything
To which we bring our best refinement.

Let us not look for you only in memory,
Where we would grow lonely without you.
You would want us to find you in presence,
Beside us when beauty brightens,
When kindness glows
And music echoes eternal tones.

When orchids brighten the earth,
Darkest winter has turned to spring;
May this dark grief flower with hope
In every heart that loves you.

May you continue to inspire us:

To enter each day with a generous heart.
To serve the call of courage and love
Until we see your beautiful face again
In that land where there is no more separation,
Where all tears will be wiped from our mind,
And where we will never lose you again.
