This Life I Lead

"And then the knowledge comes to me that I have space within me for a second, timeless, larger life."

~ R. M. Rilke

While few of us can pinpoint when life transitions from the first to second half, there is a moment.  Some may name it by chronological age, others by physical health and mental clarity.  But that second half of life, where some could argue true wisdom surfaces, is full of rich, spiritual moments.  We look to see what Michael Woodnick shares with us on October 15th at Regis College on this very topic...as we all shift from "doing to being."

Maybe you'll join us, too.

I Seek One

Thoughts of peace are prominent in my mind.

Perhaps as the violence of 9/11 is remembered,
my mind and heart ache for peace.

When I am seeking wisdom and solace, I often look to Rumi,
the 13th century Persian Muslim poet and Sufi mystic, where he says:

"I am neither Christian, nor Jewish, nor Muslim.
Doing away with duality, I saw the two worlds as one.
I seek One,

I know One,

I see One, 

and I call One."

May One show us peace.
