It occurred to me this morning how easily we slip into taking life for granted. As I sat on a city bus in The Hague watching
crowds of people going about their day to day lives, I wondered how many woke up this morning giving thanks for all that they
are blessed with? How many hugged their children and loved ones as they sent them on their way to school, to work, etc? How
many thought about the world in which we live and how fragile it all could be?
On the Trail of Dreams World Peace Walk
I think of this a lot--especially as one of our team members is confronting an apparent health challenge and we are all moving
in complete knowing that all is well as we await the results of her medical exams. So even here we find ourselves walking
the talk and taking life one step at a time. Living each moment fully, joyfully and aware of the many ways in which Divine
Grace blesses us with every step.
I had a thought this morning in response to an email question, "What is the medicine
of BGD?"...The medicine is showingup.There will come a time when the money will be
there in abundant supply AND we will know beyond a doubt that what we have created came from the heart, 100%, of all those
who committed themselves to healing in community and showing up to a greater vision that is more easily felt than articulated
but does encompass a belief that we-- each of us -- can change the world in profound ways.In this BGD the young leaders stepped
up and embraced themselves as leaders. POWERFUL

Reflections on the BGD Peace Intensive - - from The Hague
After a week of intense personal and group processing, the 5th BGD gathering is coming to a close. I was in awe of the young
leaders, their growth, commitment and determination to affect a change in the world. A highlight for me was the final discussion
regarding the need to begin to identify the skill sets we need to develop and share to be effective leaders in a rapidly changing
world. We approached this by examining our individual process for getting to the Beyond the Global Divide Intensive. Keys
for each of us were: releasing (detaching) to allow the journey to unfold without swimming up stream by trying to make it
what we want it to be; showing up and trusting the process and trusting Divine support. These are EXACTLY the same things
we have to embrace in order to stay on the Trail of Dreams World Peace Walk. Starr:, BGDer from Vancouver) presented an inspiring
workshop, Cultural Migration through Dance, Music and Storytelling; Chandelle (BGDer from Nashville, TN and Trail of Dreams
World Peace Walker) presented a workshop and demonstration Yoga and Wholeness; Brenda Kay, www.redkettledesigns.com/brenda
from Bribie Island, Australia joined the ranks of BGD Elders and presented an emotional healing workshop on Forgiveness;
Glenn Atkinson from New Zealand, www.garudabd.org and www.bdmax.co.nz conducted an informative workshop, As Above. So Below
(the big picture) and the second one, How that Affects Each of Us on a Personal Level; Joan Klink conducted a Agni Ceremony
which allowed us to integrate the fullness of this BGD summit experience; and the Trail of Dreams Team conducted a discussion
on the Teachings from the Trail.
