Circles of Grace |
|
The morning wind spreads its fresh smell.
We must get up and take that in,
That wind that lets us live.
Breathe before it's gone.
Dance, when you're broken open.
Dance, if you've torn the bandage off.
Dance in the middle of the fighting.
Dance in your blood.
Dance, when you're perfectly free.

Exterior Beauty
We have recently erected a new sign out front that boasts a nice white oval that reads "S'eclairer, enlighting self with knowledge." Our landscaping is as beautiful as ever as the snow lightly covers our bushes and trees. The cold weather brings the fireplace out as you walk into the waiting room, and we have a cool, relaxing video now playing on the flatscreen in the waiting room. Take in the calming tunes as you wait to be seen by a doctor or counselor. |

Live Talk Show
We have made excellent headway in S'eclairer's vision about launching a one-of-a-kind live talk show here in Pittsburgh. The support for this innovative show that will enlighten the mind, body, and soul has come from many supporters in the area. The half hour live talk show will be aired on Mondays on channel PCNC, a NBC Channel 11 affiliate and will be rebroadcasted on the weekends. Look for listings for the show to launch January sometime!! |

Winter Ice Sky
Ice had formed ahead of them, and it reached all the way to the sky. The people could not cross it....A Raven flew up and struck the ice and cracked it. Coyote said, " These small people can't get across the ice." Another Raven flew up again and cracked the ice again. Coyote said, "Try again, try again." Raven flew up again and broke the ice. The people ran across.

The way you see
is the measure of the world.
Your imperfections are the veil.
Wash your senses
with the water of the spirit,
As the Sufis wash their garments.
When purified,
the spirit will unblind you,
And you'll see
with the eye of loveliness.

As we near the hustle bustle of the shopping frenzy around the holidays, lets take a second to stop, breathe, and relax. The times around the holidays are not about gifts of material goods, but gifts of love and appreciation to those you know and love.
Sincerely,
Safdar I Chaudhary & S'eclairer Staff |
