Beautiful Poem

A dear friend of The Journey sent us this poem the other day and she so kindly said we could share it with you. Enjoy the beauty...

To Confusion

How I long to embrace the reactive in me,
The fearful, or angry, or selfish I see;
To embrace the me that thinks there's an I
That's separate from you and can therefore feel shy;
To love the one that dwells in confusion,
Who's so often wrapped in a veil of illusion.
I yearn not to judge the one that still yearns
For something that's other than what it discerns
Is happening now that's less than it's vision
Of a kind of perfection that involves no decision.
Could I cherish myself when I try to be best,
When I fail to remember I'm just like the rest?
Oh to wake up and love the dissatisfied me
Who searches for that which will help set me free,
The me that eats chocolate, drinks coffee or wine,
Thinking their altered states could be better than Thine.
How I long to relax, to surrender and trust
Something other than me, so I'd no longer lust
For a limited vision that's separate and small,
That's defined and exclusive, not welcoming all.
Maybe Freedom is knowing perfection is here
In that dissatisfaction, those judgments, that fear,
In all of the ways I resist what is now,
So to all my confusion, I humbly bow.
Please may I remember, Leonard Cohen was right -
Everything has a crack, through the crack comes the light.

Journey Big Bang!

I wanted to point out an exciting special that is going to take place in Bremerton, Washington! 3 events at one location! Starting on June 27, 2009, we will have three events all in a row: The Journey Intensive (June 27-28), Liberating Kids' Shining Potential (June 29), and Advanced Skills (June 30)!

Here's a quick peek at what these three workshops are about:

The Journey Intensive
In the Journey processes you are guided to uncover specific cell memories, resolve them completely and clear them out. Your body and being then go about the process of healing quite naturally, automatically and you are left soaring in a boundless joy, peace and wholeness that is your own essence.

Advanced Skills
It is an in-depth, hands on workshop designed to teach you a huge variety of additional processing skills that will help you work with just about any issue that might arise. You will be diving even deeper by learning to incorporate 6 additional mini-processes to facilitate profound forgiveness and healing.

Liberating Kids' Shining Potential
This workshop is to help give new skills and tools to Parents, Teachers and Caregivers who are looking for a way to unlock and free the boundless potential in their children. At this fun-filled interactive one day workshop designed for adults, you'll learn specific skills and techniques that will enable you to facilitate any child from age 5 on up!

A thought...

Have you ever noticed that the only difference between "think" and "thank" is one letter?
I haven't decided what that means, but it's got to be absolutely HUGE.


Two words you don't want to leave home without!

A thought....

When you can look beneath their behavior that hurt you, dear one, and you can see the frightened child - it becomes nearly impossible to be angry and carry a grudge.

And you so can.

For the Guys

We invite you to a Men Only Residential Retreat

JourneyMan
March 26-29
Colorado Springs, Colorado

Hosted By Kevin Billett
Open to ALL Men- No other Journey Prerequisites Required

Ask yourself: Do you sometimes feel like life is an impossible-to-navigate minefield full of mixed messages about who and what you are or should be as a man? Are you ever confused about your sense of self, your identity or your role as a man? Do you ever feel lost, aimless, or angry with life or those you love?

JourneyMan could be your route to clarity and liberation!
