Thank you, thank you, thank you! In making my Thanksgiving list of the many blessings in my life, your love and support of the Celebration Circle are way up high on the page. I am particularly grateful to be walking this ever-deepening path of spiritual growth alongside you, and sincerely hope you can feel my love and gratitude - as well as the collective energy of all the other people in the Circle community. We are One, and we are richer for your Presence in our lives.
Wishing you a Happy Holiday and hoping you, too, find yourself feeling surrounded by love and support.
With blessings,

PLEASE NOTE: Wednesday Evening Meditation Circle will not meet this week (November 26th).
We will gather again December 3rd at 7:30 pm at the Quaker Meeting House, 7052 N. Vandiver, San Antonio (at the corner of Eisenhauer Rd. approximately 1/2 mile west of Austin Hwy.) Rudolf leads these weekly sessions with a combination of guided and silent meditations, well-suited to experienced meditators and beginners alike. Love offernings are accepted and support the meditation circle's weekly use of the beautiful sacred space.
December 21, Sunday, 5:30pm
"Underground Sounds" is a unique concert experience featuring the words and music of Rudolf Harst (vocals, guitar, flute, Tibetan bowls); with Paul Lewis (didgeridoo); Bill Colangelo (bass clarinet); and Carl Rush (percussion). The program blends an eclectic mix of contemporary acoustic music and seasonal songs, with World-Beat overtones, poetry, and meditation - all of which incorporate the extraordinary acoustic properties of the Queen's Throne cavern, located 100 feet under the earth's surface in The Cave Without a Name, 12 miles outside of Boerne. www.cavewithoutaname.com

Also - You can help support Inner City Development in two ways:
-- "HUNGER IS NOT A THANKSGIVING ISSUE: IT IS AN ISSUE 365 DAYS PER YEAR" ICD began its Thanksgiving 365 last week. This project is an effort to raise all the money it takes to supply their Emergency Food Pantry with food for 365 days. They serve over 70,000 meals per year to people in crisis, serving the poorest area of BexarCounty. They are asking for direct donations of any amount and they are looking for 30 people to raise $1,000 each and to fast until they raise that amount. Can you be one of those 30? If so, call them at 224-7239. Students are asked to collect rice, beans and canned goods. Checks can be made out to Inner City Development, 1300 Chihuahua St., San Antonio, TX 78207
-- Circle will also support the ICD CHRISTMAS TOY SALE, which is an attempt to deal with the issue of trying to maintain dignity of families on limited income in an effort to help them get toys for their children at Christmas at a price that is affordable. Many times families will spend money to provide something special at Christmas and then need help to pay bills and buy food in January. Inner City collects new toys (traditional and non-violent) for a sale that happens on December 14. We will collect toys on upcoming Sundays in the Circle and assure that they are delivered prior to the sale. The toys are priced at 10% of what they would cost in the store. The toy sale usually serves about 1400 children and the money raised goes back into emergency services. If you are interested in helping with this project, please call Patti Radle or Rosa Lopez at 224-7239.
