  • What brings us together is the power of unity - or One, also known as Presence. Is there more than one Presence - one for you and one for me? Only when we are distracted from this Presence, this Peace here and now, do we get lost in separation. Hence, keep the peace.

    So kind. So thoughtful. So genuine. So real to life. I like the repetition. He seems to give us the same message over and over and yet every time it feels like the first time. It’s a great reminder to keep repeating the same message.

      1:35 we get swallowed up by the passage of events and times, and the comings and goings of people, and self, and one. And this is why we get lost. And this is, basically, the cause of all our problems.
      But stay still. Or, in other words, stay at peace.

      For your future, what John leaves out:
      Standing up straight
      Once the feet are on the floor,
      Or sitting up straight
      Once your bottom is planted
      In the chair.
      In Fide,

    Evening John,
    My wife and I bumped into you very briefly three weeks ago in Bakewell church. We visit churches when we visit various areas of the country and Bakewell's is a very interesting example. We made ourselves scarce when you walked in as we didn't want to interrupt your peace. It's certainly worth that walk up the hill.
    Gob bless you and take care.
