“Words are windows, or they are walls.
They sentenc us, or set us free.
When I speak and when I hear,
Let the love light
shine through me.”

Love still takes the risk of birth.

It is very important to go out alone, to sit under a tree—not with a book, not with a companion, but by yourself—and observe the falling of a leaf, hear the lapping of the water, the fishermen’s song, watch the flight of a bird, and of your own thoughts as they chase each other across the space of your mind. If you are able to be alone and watch these things, then you will discover extraordinary riches which no government can tax, no human agency can corrupt, and which can never be destroyed. ~Jiddu Krishnamurti

"May you be at peace.
May your heart remain open.
May you awaken to the light
of your own true nature.
May you be healed.
May you be a source of
healing for all beings."
~Tibetan Buddhist Prayer

More gift wrapping...

Happy Valentine's Day! Come share lunch with us and surround yourself with friendship, delicious food, warmth and a feeling of love. Today, like every Wednesday, we welcome all our neighbours to a warm and hearty meal at no cost. Just bring yourself, your friends... and enjoy! As Jenny exclaims "LUNCH IS SERVED !" (starts at 11:30)

As part of Literacy Alliance of the Shuswap Society Unplug and Play week, a small group children gathered with Jenny this afternoon as she led them on a guided, meditative walk around the Labyrinth. There will be another opportunity for kids 7 and up on Friday January 26.

Santa Claus joined the pot luck luncheon today! Lots of great food, good friends, carols and Santa Claus bringing good cheer for young and old... it was a delight to share such delicious food and fun with dear friends who were back visiting again from local care facilities.
