Oh my. I appear to be extremely late to Circle. I hope nobody notices if I just slip in the back here. What a lovely Solstice surprise to find you all.

Among my culture we have a tradition that has existed for centuries.

Whenever we come together to discuss things of great importance it is always done within the sacred circle. Anyone is welcome to come and sit within the sacred circle and participate in the discussions, however all animosity, hatred and prejudice are left outside of the sacred circle, these things are not allowed within its confines and each individual who steps within the sacred circle is expected to help govern it and be responsible to see to it that peace, harmony, and understanding prevail within the sacred circle.

So now my brothers and sisters, I invite you to step within the sacred circle and tell us about your beliefs or non-beliefs without criticism or animosity to one another.

Remember, all are welcomed here who come with a good heart.
Capt. Dan asked the question as to what is the sacred circle, I bring this post forward so that all can read and I hope to answer Capt. Dan's question.osay

ptsum, I was just rereading your OP. These words stood out. Wouldn't it be nice if this is how it was no matter where we were?

Today I will sit inside the circle and reflect on that.

Today I apprehensively enter the circle I have followed from outside. I bring with me the love I have for my friend who is dying of cancer and the grace with which he is preparing to leave this earth. I am humbled to continue on my journey for now, and pray that the peace I read from people here will help to heal the pain and heartache that comes with the love we experience. My heart is open.

MTbound, my friend, welcome to the circle. I hope that you will find comfort here. It has become a place that I retreat to when I am feeling the weight of the world. You will find many friends here. I will pray for your friends peaceful transition.

Peace be with you, my friend.
