Description by Saki Santorelli
«Oh, dear friends, take heart….
Most of us never envisioned a world shaped by the emergence of COVID 19. An unforeseen arrival, this virus is an absolutely unwanted “guest.” And yet…Confronted with the fragility of life and a sudden halt in the familiar routines of our everyday lives, our gathering together is an affirmation of the dignity, power, and beauty of our human community.
Oh, dear friends, take heart….
We have choices: individually, we can muster the faith, grit, and grace to turn and meet the arriving guests of denial, fear, and depression. Collectively, we can turn and embrace one another. We can practice – as in making conscious and deliberate – our commitment to move from isolation to seclusion, loneliness to companionship, fragmentation to solidarity, darkness to luminosity, conceit to common humanity.
Oh, dear friends, take heart….
Our hearts are big enough to hold everything. This is our inheritance – the path of bravery, inseparability, and love that human beings across all contemplative traditions have walked for millennia. In the good company of one another, we’ll engage in meditation and awareness practices, poetry and story, silence and stillness, and listen to one another in spontaneous moments of conversation and inquiry as we band together in the light and life that is our essential nature.»
