From Karen Bueno--John Cock posted his poem a few days ago.  It might work!:
HERE IN ETERNITY

Jagged journey taught my heart turmoil and despair
Amazing grace gave my heart meaning to declare
That it's good to journey and to live aware
With open eyes and heart toward life's possibility
And glory in awesome moments of Eternity
John Cock

Wow.  Thank you, Wandaa!

And I also just listened again to Amanda Gorman’s speech for the inauguration. It’s also right on target.

Take care,
Jo

I Hope this poem will work for you…if not just enjoy. It was shared with me recently by one of my “Activist” Muslim friend:

I sometimes forget that
I was created for joy
My mind is too busy
My heart is too heavy
Heavy for me to remember
that I have been
called to dance
the sacred dance for life
I was created to smile
to love
to be lifted up
and lift others up
O sacred one
Untangle  my feet
from all that ensnares
Free my soul
That we might
Dance
and that our dancing
might be contagious.

Hi, all,

I’m searching for an artform, which could be a poem, a song, or a very short video, that could be the starting point for a fairly quick discussion grounding the X  of the Word -- YES to the past, the future, my life, all of life.  (You will note that the current version of Courage to Lead talks about the YES to the past, future, my life, and all of life rather than using the phrases “the past is approved, the future is open, my life is received, life is good”.  This is designed to get through the immediate reactions to the old language that was blocking people being able to ground the Word in their lives.) This artform should be tangential to the topic and allow a conversation that grounds it.

I’m guessing that you in this group will be a better resource than I have found so far.  I don’t need just quotes – they don’t lead to much of a conversation.  And even if you don’t know of any artforms for this, I’m hoping just raising the question will be helpful for your ruminations!

I’m updating and putting online an old ICA Associates Inc. facilitation course called “Participation Paradigm”.  In this course we taught 4 chapters of Courage to Lead that correspond to the four sections of RS-1 images as well as the Contentless Method (the phenomenological method behind all ToP methods). We will study the four chapters, and I am working on artform conversations to ground the previous session and make the transitions to the next session.

This course, along with one updating our old Image Change course and several others will be offered online in the fall in addition to the ones we have been offering online so far.

Take care,
Jo
