Been thinking about Michael a lot these days, after the Presencing Institute launched a series of global calls to lean into our current moment of disruption and let this moment move us toward civilization renewal -- and I'm remembering oh-so-many years ago when Michael (ever the organizer) reached out to everyone who was on the Presencing Institute / Theory U website from the Twin Cities and invited us to meet each other in the back room of Common Roots. There were fewer than a dozen of us. The first day that the new Presencing Institute series launched there were 5,000 people who participated - which quickly doubled to 10,000. Michael in the forefront of this social movement, and I'm appreciating him right now. I am also hoping that you, Jenny and the family is getting through this time okay. Sending care from across the neighborhood.
Jenny, thank you for these thoughts about Michael, and for keeping us all in the loop on how you and the kids are doing in these challenging times. I am so glad that you are visiting the river--I know you must feel his prescence there. I have been running along the river on the St Paul side--and will continue to think of you and Michael and the kids while doing so. It is a sacred place. Thank you too for the jokes Michael shared--I have been sending them to friends and family, receiving thanks for the joy they produce. Especially the Yoda one. Sending you love and virtual hugs, Pam
Thank you for continuing to bless us Jenny! Glad to hear you are adjusting, in multiple ways - there will always be a spot in you dedicated to your life with Michael.
Love the jokes. Will have to pull some out for April Fool's tomorrow. Our favorite waiter in CO has one with Eastern roots as well:
The Dalai Lama says to the Hot Dog stand man, "Make me One with everything."
Hot Dog Man: "That will be $2.00."
Dalai Lama: "Here's $5. Where is my change?"
Hot Dog Man: "Change must come from within,"
dear jenny, grace and isaiah, it was no mistake to find the jokes from Michael on the computer.. the world needs the levity now...also needs the compassion, love and gentleness that were parts of his legacy. keep hunkering down and walking by the lovely nourishing life-giving river! peace, sr. suzanne
Well I have some idea .... Michael would reach his hand down to lift upward lost spirits stuck between worlds, using some cool music. He'd then organize these spirits and re-engage their soul purpose to support those suffering in hospitals with COVID-19, as well as others suffering. He'd smile and bring his "elf-like" activities to remind us how joyful life is in body and not-in-body. He'd co-create with us who desire to dance between heaven and earth .... and continue to "lead from source" energy ... and form grids around hospitals and homes ... soooo many blessings still ... Love, Julie
