“In 2006 a high school English teacher asked students to write a famous author and ask for advice. Kurt Vonnegut was the only one to respond - and his response is magnificent:

“Dear Xavier High School, and Ms. Lockwood, and Messrs Perin, McFeely, Batten, Maurer and Congiusta:

I thank you for your friendly letters. You sure know how to cheer up a really old geezer (84) in his sunset years. I don’t make public appearances any more because I now resemble nothing so much as an iguana.

What I had to say to you, moreover, would not take long, to wit: Practice any art, music, singing, dancing, acting, drawing, painting, sculpting, poetry, fiction, essays, reportage, no matter how well or badly, not to get money and fame, but to experience becoming, to find out what’s inside you, to make your soul grow.

Seriously! I mean starting right now, do art and do it for the rest of your lives. Draw a funny or nice picture of Ms. Lockwood, and give it to her. Dance home after school, and sing in the shower and on and on. Make a face in your mashed potatoes. Pretend you’re Count Dracula.

Here’s an assignment for tonight, and I hope Ms. Lockwood will flunk you if you don’t do it: Write a six line poem, about anything, but rhymed. No fair tennis without a net. Make it as good as you possibly can. But don’t tell anybody what you’re doing. Don’t show it or recite it to anybody, not even your girlfriend or parents or whatever, or Ms. Lockwood. OK?

Tear it up into teeny-weeny pieces, and discard them into widely separated trash receptacals. You will find that you have already been gloriously rewarded for your poem. You have experienced becoming, learned a lot more about what’s inside you, and you have made your soul grow.
God bless you all!"
Kurt Vonnegut

Sometimes people are going to try to bring you down.....rise above it...learn from it...and like the mighty Phoenix you too can rise from the ashes to soar

Meditation help us grow spiritually and brings us to a place where inspiration, manifestation, peace, and well-being flow to us as a stream of abundance that the Universe is ready willing and able to provide....become the miracle you are seeking....carpe diem

I am happy to announce that I am now offering Oracle Card readings. Oracle cards are much like Tarot, Angel and so many more intuitive card sets that allow your higher self to communicate with your conscious self. They can also give insight into past present or future. Please leave me a message if you are interested or Text me at 309 868 4127. Cost is $20 and the reading usually lasts around a half an hour

If not now when? If not you then who? ....meditation leads to clarity of mind and peacefulness...But, it can also lead to inspiration, self growth and much much more...take twenty minutes a day to help clear and ground yourself and just see how much it can help. Have trouble meditating...I CAN HELP...i am offering both classes and private help too if the group class isn't your thing. Leave me a coment if this interests you....carpe diem

IT'S COMING!!!!!!!!!

There will be no meditation meetings until the new year. In the coming year the focus on technique will take a back seat to highlight what i like to call intuitive meditation. This will be an exciting shift in helping make meditation work for not only the clearing of one's mind but also tasks such as relieving stress and anxiety, Becoming more positive, helping to facilitate manifestation, and so much more. I'm not quite sure on tge meeting dates but they will be on Tuesdays. Look for more info to follow. I want yo also wish everyone a Merry Christmas, and happy holiday season....Namaste

There will be no meditation meeting tomorrow night.....happy early Thanksgiving everyone
