Blog 10: Being at the youth shelter

Wed, 23 Dec 2009 12:00:00 -0500

We took the Streets Speak Mural to the Hope Mission's Youth Shelter today and it was great. Actaully there is a program called 'SHIFT' on their third floor that focus on helping youth change their bad habits (with drugs, alcohol) by keeping them on the floor in a temporary home.

On that floor we brought the mural panel and had some good times with the youth there. One guy painted on the panel a nice duck, while another guy painted a depiction from a novel he is reading (even included the author's name too). He must really enjoy the book!

It was a lot of fun! We shared some laughs and just talked about casual things, even though they've been through more than we have in life. Sometimes its easy to forget that we're all the same in some way and that we can just talk about life...

I really enjoyed it and invite everybody to come out to the shelters with us! Its really a good idea.

Blog #9: Listen to the Pulse of Life

Wed, 05 Aug 2009 02:25:00 -0400

"Can you hear it? The Pulse of Life?"

Listen to the world around you as you ask yourself this question. Your neighbors, your house, in you; Life is always flowing. With you, around you, in you; before you and after you.

The pulse of life is something that no one can ever stop. It is a presence that will always be there, whether you choose to acknowledge it or not. Listen and tell me if you can hear it: The pulse of the world, the pulse of the city, and the pulse within you. Everyone can hear if they just choose to take a moment to breathe, and listen.

Everyone's pulse is different, but that pulse is still there. Listen, dance, and create. What you choose to do with the pulse of life is up to you.

"We all have a pulse, and with it we can do an inifinite number of things."

Now let me ask you this:

~What is the pulse of life to you?~

Keep on breathing,

-Mike

Holograms

Holograms:

The Hologram is one of the marvels of laser technology. They present multidimensional images that look like sculptures in light. The most intriguing thing about them is that lasers scatter beams of light so that information relating to the whole image can be seen in every single part.

Basically, the WHOLE image is contained in all parts. Everything is enfolded in everything else!

My point is that we are not just "parts" of iPulse, but we are iPulse. Every single person in this group is an Infinite Pulse and every single idea we act on can show who we are- Infinite Pulse!

:cool:

P.S. Hologram info. came from the non fiction "Imaginization" by Gareth Morgan.
