Hope
Sometimes when life knocks us down, hope is the only thing we feel we have to hold onto. We hope for healing in mind, body and spirit. Hope for a better day, today. Hope for a better day, tomorrow. Hope we see things with fresh eyes when our vision has become narrow. Hope for understanding. Hope that our goals will be achieved. Hope lifts us up. Hope gives us strength to carry on and the trust that all will work out for the best. We set our sights on those hopes and work towards them with a willing heart and an open mind. Each of us has hopes for our personal lives and for the lives of those we love and cherish. Hope is powerful and we need to hold onto it with all our being. Please feel free to share, if you are so inspired.

Nic Askew SOUL BIOGRAPHIES Nowhere
“This will take your undivided attention. Which is not an insignificant request…Warning. This is haunting. You might be haunted. It was filmed in front of an audience in the INNER VIEW METHOD.”
THE WHISPER AND THE ECHO
A man looked for meaning.
For his very place in life.He searched high and low.
He’d often hear a whisper, calling
his name from the other side
of what seemed like a door.A door that remained hidden
from his ability to see.Frustrated, he’d knock on
everything that resembled
a door. Turning here,
and there. Turning
just about anywhere.Then one day,
unannounced,
it opened.And he realised that he’d been
knocking from the inside.
And that the whisper
had been an echo.The echo of his own soul
reminding him that
he was already home.-Nic Askew
I hope you have a moment to watch (full screen, with ear phones) this beautiful video, the latest of Nic Askew’s “Soul Biographies.” I have wanted to take Nic’s “Inner View Method” course since I first saw Amo La Vida with Julio Olalla. His incredibly beautiful method of interviewing is exactly the kind of biography I would love to offer for Volunteer Biographers. It’s a dream. Until then, Volunteer Biographers has three clients and we just assisted in the biography of a fourth client through transcription. Also, today I’m very happy to announce that one of our homeless artists (who has made incredible changes and is no longer homeless) will be our next Volunteer Biographer client. More on that in the months to come. Meanwhile, if you are a photographer or videographer, you might find Nic’s course as compelling as I do.

Tuesday is muse day. Who inspires you?
Nimo Patel of Empty Hands music has been one of my biggest inspirations. I met Nimo in DC two years ago. It was one of the happiest days of my life. Hearing Nimo perform was like being bathed in love, from start to finish, the kind of love that is pure and contagious and literally inspiring — filled with Spirit.
Today Empty Hands released a beautiful new video, “We Shall Overcome.” I hope it unites the entire world in song. Small acts of kindness really can change the world. I believe that. Do you?

“This past Saturday my wife, Rebecca, was taking my son Jonah and a few friends put-put golfing for his birthday party. On the way there he saw a man with a sign asking for help. Jonah, feeling concerned for the man, immediately asked Rebecca to do something. She could read between the lines that it didn’t feel right to him that he’d be off celebrating with his friends while this man seemed unsupported…” -Ariel Nessel. Continued here: Jonah’s Birthday Wish by Ariel Nessel, on ServiceSpace.org
☼ Happy Birthday Jonah! ☼ Thank you for sharing from your heart on your birthday and, no doubt, every day. You are a very cool kid and an inspiration. ^_^ ♥.
