Group Prayer

Interaction nourishes us, and we find ourselves cared for and caring for each other. We willingly adapt and practice our steps to find how to dance in Unity of rhythm and purpose.
Perseverance of being present in open- and tenderhearted sharing helps us find our place in Natural Order.
Great Joy is the vehicle that both embraces all and radiates out into our world and universe.
It takes all of us together to explore and express all possibilities and potential of DivineHumanBeinglnLove.

Vow Prayer

I go into this Contemplation Hopeful and with my vows deeply embedded in my heart mind and physical body.

Divine Love,
Before you, I, your creation come before you, naked in my whole
self. Always remembering my prayer to Be your Will.
Open my heart today that I may be immersed in immeasurable love!
Open my mind that Wisdom does flow through my ideas and thoughts of this and that, claiming the Middle Way as an open and secure path for my unfolding.
Open my physical form that I may be limber, stretching, bending, standing, walking, running, swimming, and flying.
Open my Soul that my memories of the Eternal may find a loving Home in this incarnation.
Open my Spirit that my energy and resource may flow in loves abundant strength and well-being........
All this for your world, your love of all life, your gift to
your creation. All this in the Immeasurable names of
Metta's Equanimity.
May I always BE Strong as Kindness

Inlove,

JiMi Tao

Dearest Community,
May this day bring you great joy and great happiness.

This Saturday's Gathering will mark the first time that we get together after our gathering and our time of revitalization. It is my hope that you are well rested and renewed. So many moments of pure joy continue to glide by as the sweetest memories of come together. How absolutely fun it was and smooth too, YEAH!!! Thank you, each of you for sharing the special-ness of us at such a high resonance, purely delightful.
When I look back on the years of gatherings for sure this one was the best!!! I think it is because everyone did their work; everyone cut bait and carried water©
I loved sitting with each of you individually, I loved seeing you each morning going down to the beach, watching yoga in tall grass, morning altar prayers and chants, sunset through tall windows, light glistening off hair, smells and sounds of wonderful everything. I loved it!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you.

As you know we have begun a new contemplation, a 46 week one, whew!!!
This is intentional as to allow the harmonics of balance to keep our hearts high and our minds very clear and to stretch us a bit so that we may be strong and flexible. To help us discover what we are grateful for and what we are made of and of course to strengthen the root systems of our new Beingness.
So I hope that each day will bring to you and us an octave higher and lower that we may harmonically chant within the flow of our world and universe.
Thus far we have completed week one of our contemplation and have entered into week two.

Please take

  • One sentence from each day and make a paragraph.
    You may choose any sentence within your daily contemplation as long as only one sentence is chosen per day.
  • As part of a round, you will be asked to read your paragraph out loud to the community.

May you find this exercise to be uplifting, flowing and joyful as you learn something quite dear about yourselves.
For those who have not been doing the contemplation, please sit back and enjoy the splendor of heartmind song.
As always thank you for being you. I look forward to seeing you on Saturday.
Inlove and Gratitude,
JiMi
