| Amma on the Pandemic |
|
|
In Amma's latest message about the COVID-19 pandemic, she reminds everyone that we cannot think of the world as comprising just isolated islands.
We have to understand and appreciate the unity of all nations and act as one. "Amma sees the world as a flower," Amma says.
"Each country is a petal of the flower. If even one petal is attacked by a worm, it will soon affect the entire flower.
We are seeing such a situation now.
It will take sincere effort and the positive attitude of the people from every part of the world to ensure that this world-flower remains healthy and beautiful.
This is the time when the entire world should come together, as children of one mother, forgetting all differences."

Your Experiences During the Pandemic
and the Ways Amma Guided You |

|
Savitri is an Olympic Peninsula Satsang member, has been with Amma since 1992, and is author of The Path of the Mother.
She will offer some simple pointers for developing writing skills.
These gentle skills, such as use of the five senses and other details, will help you express yourself in rich and full ways, writing deeply about what is in your heart.
At each session, you will get a chance to read some of what you wrote in your journal during the week, to share with fellow devotees.
And then listening silently with your heart, to yourself and to others.

This course is four 90-minute Zoom sessions led by Savitri Bess, and is limited to 10 participants.
Please bring pen and paper for note-taking and a few moments of spontaneous writing.
Schedule: 7:00pm - 8:30pm Tuesdays - May 19 & 26, June 2 & 9
