October 19th

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
