Mediation Facts

Our Philosophy -- Quoted from Flying South by J. Hamilton, 1989

The old ways of war and struggle have always been our ways, even since before we can remember. The hatred, anger, sorrow, and host of other painful energies have accumulated and exploded from within each of us like the tide’s ebb and flow from the beginning.

Is there any hope of change away from conflict, both within and throughout our world? I do not know with any certainty. Yet, I hope. The idea of reaching beyond myself to touch the hearts of others – touching with profound love, tenderness, and awe – not touching to move or change but simply touching for its own sake, this idea entices me.

And if others feel free to touch my soul in the same way, that is my hope – that we will touch each other’s hearts and souls. Then we will recognize the glory and joy which is our identity. Then we will put away our swords and revenge for pens and appreciation.

How does this touching begin, I wonder. And I answer in the same thought, it begins by listening.

Why do we not listen already, I wonder. And I answer in the same thought, because we fear and do not know the way.

Who will show us the way, I wonder. And I answer in the same thought, a mediator with kind wisdom and patient willingness to teach us......................................... NEXT PAGE
