Another poem for 2022 reading tonight:
I live my life in widening circles that reach out across the world.
I may not complete this last one but I give myself to it.
I circle around God, around the primordial tower.
I've been circling for thousands of years.
And I still don't know: am I a falcon,
A storm, or a great song?
--R.M. Rilke, Book of Hours
A friend who was friends with poet John O'Donahue, sent me the photo below. His signature is in the center of the button. I have read many of his poems at the beginning of our Circle of Light meetings, so it's magical that he was associated with the words Circle of Light.
@journeywithme2 It is an inspiring poem. I read it at one of our Circles of Light meditations shortly after she recited it at the 2021 Inauguration. I always begin our Circle of Light meditations with a poem and decided last week that I'll start posting the Circle of Light poems I read here. So it's very cool that you posted it here where we post about the Circle of Light.
As always, Circle of Light is on tonight!

Circle of Light is taking a two-week break because I'll be on vacay with family. But we will be back on line June First! I hope to see you then! If you want to do a beautiful Loving Kindness Meditation, go to the menu of this website and click on GUIDED MEDITATIONS and there will be a sublime meditation there to guide you along. Or just click here: https://www.jeannemayell.com/brief-guided-meditations/ You can also listen to this meditation in an audio file by clicking on Loving Kindness meditation in the sidebar of this forum page.
Just FYI, Circle of Light is on tonight -- 4 pm PT/7 pm ET. And every Wednesday in June & July unless you hear otherwise. Love to all.
Hi Community, I have to cancel Circle of Light tonight due to health. Have been recovering from an illness that started a week ago, not life threatening, but need rest. I kept thinking I'd be all set to go by tonight, but it's taking longer than it used to take in my younger days. If it is right for you to do, please send healing prayers to help me. As I have always learned, illness is a healing event, filled with lessons. So this one has not been without good.
P.S. If you had been planning to attend, then I recommend that you take a few minutes to listen to this loving kindness guided meditation I made for you all. It is just eight minutes and is available to all and quite healing.
I plan to be back next Wednesday.
Love you all. Jeanne
