It will be Maja on the subject of communicating with animals.

Thanks to Joan for forwarding this lovely message to share...

The Sky- Becky Hemsley 2022

He asked of me why it was raining

He asked was it tears from the sky

And I replied yes

That this was the case

That even the heavens can cry

He asked of me what was the thunder

He said it was hurting his ears

And I told him that sometimes

Even the clouds

Need to scream so that somebody hears

He asked of me what was the wind

And why was it whirling and swirling around

So I explained

Even the sky takes deep breaths

When it’s trying to calm itself down

Yet often, we keep our tears secret

And we swallow our own cries for help

And we think that it’s weak

To be catching our breath

So we don’t let our struggles be felt

And yet, if the clouds never emptied

If the sky never screamed through the storm

It would sit growing darker

And darker until

It was simply no use to us all

So throw all your fears to the wind dear

And toss all your tears to the clouds

And you will discover

The infinite power

The heavens hold over the ground

See, it’s normal and natural to struggle

And it’s healthy and human to cry

And if anyone questions

Your power my darling

Just tell them it’s matched by the sky

----

Love to all.

Hello everyone

Certainly a change in the weather but mustn't complain as it is November.

The meeting on Wednesday went quite well - only one person made their own mandala everyone else choosing from the selection provided. The meeting finished a little earlier than planned so we made use of the time by having a discussion on various spiritual subjects before all leaving.

On Wednesday, as always, many names were added to the Healing Book - so please, as often as you can, give a thought to the book for healing to go to those who need it.

A message from Carl.

I will leave you with a saying from the book ¨The Quiet Mind¨ by White Eagle.

Feet on Earth, Head in Heaven.

Keep you feet on the earth but lift your face towards the heavens, for the Light which floods into you from on high will steady your feet and quide them in the right path. Have confidence in this divine Light. Surrender with a tranquil mind and a heart full of love to this infinite Wisdom.

Enjoy the weekend.

Hi everyone.

It was a good meeting Wednesday 18th, Each of us talking about how we became interested in the spiritual, how it has affected our lives and our reasons for attending the group. We also made a list of all the subjects we would be interested in covering for meetings in the future.

A reminder that Ka Ta Rang´s two previous meetings are available via email let me know if you want copies. The most recent, coming soon, has been typed but will be proof read before being available.

I will sign off and leave you with a poem from Joan, found on Facebook.

Love to all, Jan.x🌻

THE CLIMB

They say that when you’re broken

This is how the light gets in

But what if all the cracks

Are letting out the light within?

They say it makes you stronger

But at first it makes you weak

The way you face the mountain base

Before you reach the peak

They say to break is brave

And yet your mind is full of dread

You’re not overwhelmed by courage

But by helplessness instead

But admitting you are breaking

Is far braver than you know

And remember, from the bottom

There is just one way to go

See, I think they mean it isn’t just

That breaking makes you strong

But the way you use the embers

Of your will to carry on

It’s triumph over trauma

And it’s healing after hurt

It’s rising from the ashes

With a new-found sense of worth

So find yourself a candle

And allow its tiny spark

To ignite you back to life

And put the fire back in your heart

And grant yourself compassion

For the times that you feel weak

Just rest until you’re strong enough

To get back on your feet

Yes, I know that when you’re broken

You have only threads of hope

But tie them to the mountain

Like your personal safety rope

Then gather at the bottom

With the summit high above

Then take a breath and take a step

The only way is up

******
