Mystical Hope

It seems like people for the most part are hopeful about their lives and our world. At least on the better days. But sometimes we have moments of disbelief when we are not sure what it looks like. It is a though it gets lost among the laundry, the running from place to place, but it gets really buried beneath the news of our world.

I came across a book called Mystical Hope. The author writes, "If it could be shown to be true that our life is connected to an innermost essence of great profundity and power, and that access to it is through what is innermost in our own selves, then we would have not only a conceptual understanding of mystical hope, but a practical way of orientating ourselves toward it."

In essence, mystical hope would simply mean that we find hope when we touch the innermost part of ourselves. What springs forth into the world from that, has the capacity to simply and profoundly change the world.

Tell us about the many ways in which you find hope in your life. We invite and welcome your comments.

Blessings to you~

Keep Imagining...

In December, we asked people to help us imagine what they wanted for themselves and the world. And imagine you did! We have had a great response to this blog and a even greater response to our Imgine 2007 Tree. Over 90 people responded to our invitation to add to what we started. Often as I walked through the waiting room of our office I would see people adding things and often I stopped to talk with them about they imagined. One thing we all agreed upon is that if we want to live in a world of peace and joy, we first have to imagine it as possible.

We have read every response many times and it makes us know that the work we all do is important beyond what we know. Can you imagine what we can all do collectively...that is where possibility is born and nurtured. So the invitation continues...please help us imagine in every way you know how. We very much want to hear from you so please post a comment on this blog or email Sandy and Paula at inpeaceandjoy@msn.com Thank you for taking this journey with us.
Blessings~
