Beautiful!

a long one and one of my favorites by Mark Nepo Friendship “Nothing among human things has such power to keep our gaze fixed ever more intensely upon God than friendship.” —SIMONE WEIL “I have been blessed to have deep friends in my time on Earth. They have been an oasis when my life has turned a desert. They have been a cool river to plunge in when my heart has been on fire. When I was ill, one toweled my head when I couldn't stand without bleeding. Another bowed at my door saying, “I will be whatever you need as long as you need it.” Still others have ensured my freedom, and they missed me while I searched for bits of truth that only led me back to them. I have slept in the high lonely wind waiting for God's word. And while it's true— no one can live for you— singing from the peak isn't quite the same as whispering in the center of a circle that has carried you ashore. Honest friends are doorways to our souls, and loving friends are the grasses that soften the world. It is no mistake that the German root of the word friendship means “place of high safety.” This safety opens us to God. As Cicero said, “A friend is a second self.” And as Saint Martin said, “My friends are the beings through whom God loves me.” from The Book of Awakening: Having the Life You Want by Being Present to the Life You Have by Mark Nepo

Martha, I love what you have added to camp with these posts and of course seeing your bright and shining face on line in the live programs. I miss early morning coffee with you at Lassen and sitting by the lake at Autumn listening to what is new for you on your journey.

Love's greatest gift is its ability to make everything it touches Sacred. —Rumi

"Your soul knows the geography of your destiny. Your soul alone has the map of your future, therefore you can trust this indirect, oblique side of yourself. If you do it will take you where you need to go, but more importantly it will teach you a kindness of rhythm in your journey." John O'Donohue

Oh Martha, how great to see your wonderful face at Happy Hour this evening! I love this quote - thank you for sharing. Look forward to some more!

Thank you Anne for your loving and tireless love and work as Registrar/Tech Team /Dreaming/Birthing our Autumn JFO time together. Who knew it would look so different this year and I am in awe your abilities to live in the present with such a beautiful presence and shining light and provide what is needed to move this camp into being. You are an earth angel and I am grateful for your presence in my life!

Love you Carol and love the way you so beautifully and quietly support others, just when they need it! Your capacity to share love and wisdom supports so many of us and I love that I now am quoting you and your beautiful expression of JFO being the "family of my heart" There is really no better way to say this - it is perfect, thank you. So grateful to get to see you so often even though it is online. Thank you for your love and support!

Love you soul sister! And so fun to walk this adventure with you! I am grateful for your amazing midwifing skills for individuals and groups and knowing how to love support others with such beauty and humility. You are AMAZING!

Thank you Diana for your leadership and loving this camp into being.

Beautiful Family! Please give Susan my love and thank you for your tireless efforts on behalf of Autumn JFO and the CFO/JFO legacy.
