GCI Care Focus

Hurricane Irene

All indications point to Hurricane Irene being extremely destructive to the Eastern Coast of the United States, including densely populated areas such as New York City and the East Cost of New Jersey. President Obama and the mayors of East Coast cities are ordering evacuations.

In this Care Focus, let’s radiate our love and care to the entire region. Visualize the hurricane dissipating in strength and moving further out into the Atlantic Ocean, with less impact on potentially affected populations.

Let’s sustain our vision for the highest best outcome and maintain our compassion and unconditional love for those involved and throughout any recovery process.

Through these emerging global stress events, it’s important to practice the caring maintenance of our own energy balance in relationship to these seemingly ongoing occurrences. When our emotions are exhausted and frayed, it compromises our personal system and diminishes the effectiveness of our intentions to be helpful. We compassionately realize it’s harder to prevent emotional drain at times when personally connected to these stressful events. Yet it’s worth taking time out on occasion to consciously breathe the feeling of calm and restoration into your system. Doing this from your genuine heart feelings restores emotional resilience, which is especially needed when giving energetic care and support to others who are experiencing a harder time. Use any restoration techniques that work for you. The important thing is: at least remember to do it. Self-care is an essential component in global care.

To join us in the Global Care Room; you can enter the room directly from www.globalcarerooms.org. First time users of the Global Care Room need to SIGN UP—please use your Global Coherence Initiative password. Thank you for providing energetic care and support.

In order for GCI members around the world to participate at a convenient time, we have 8 p.m., 4 a.m. and noon Pacific Standard Time ( -7 hours GMT ) when GCI members in the Global Care Room can do the Care Focus together. Of course you are welcome to participate at any time, day or night.

Thank you for your participation,

The GCI Staff

Last weekend my mother and sister came to visit. My mother, who is 84, profoundly deaf, and Hungarian, is also very funny.

I had told her the following joke:

Q: how do you know if you have Alzheimers?
A: If you can spell it, you don't have it.

Whereupon she promptly spelled it, perfectly.   (Hungarian, learned English after she had hearing loss).

The next day she said, "You should change that joke to Albuuerque."   Which is where I live. She explained, "When my friends ask me where you are, I answer, 'She lives in an unspellable place."

She then went on to spell the longest word in Hungarian, which, for those following along at home, is MEGSZENTSEGTELENITHETETLENSEGESKEDESEITEKERT.

She said it means "for those who would try but fail to make you unsaintly."
I googled it, natch.   Alternate translations included:

"because of your continuous pretending of being able not to be made unholy"

"something that cannot be committed sacrilege on"

and "for your constant mentioning of the fact that [a particular thing] is unprofanable."

Really, I'd love to know the CONTEXT in which this phrase rolls naturally off the tongue.

There's no actual point to this entry. *grin*
