Dear friend,
I was thinking about the way we were taught in school, as if there was a certificate you could earn that would set you up with all the learning you’d need for the rest of your life.
In a way maybe being a good kid and passing tests sets you up with a false expectation that there was some kind of end to learning, but we know that’s not true.
By way of a silly example I discovered yesterday that Adidas the sports brand and Puma were set up by two brothers after they fell out and split up the business they ran together, to compete with one another.
The example may be silly, but it illustrates point.
The world is so vast.
In one lifetime we can experience only the tiniest part of all that exists or will ever exist. We might as well make our tiny keyhole on the world the way we want it to be, to the best of our abilities.
The more you learn, the more you realise there is.
It’s a healthy kind of humility. Not one that makes you feel like there’s something missing or faulty with you; or something to hide.
Rather it connects you with the feeling of wonder at it all.
I met a deer today.
It was in a park in London which I thought I knew well, but I’d not been to the western quarter of it where the deer live. It followed me and Bessie and seemed curious about us.
I held out my hand, palm up and the deer licked my fingers. It shuddered and blinked and put out its tongue. I’m guessing there was oil on my fingers from Bessie’s coat. The taste must’ve been strange to a creature that eats foliage and grasses.
A deer licking a dog.
I could feel the sweetness of the deer’s heart and energy.
Jeremy and me are at my home in London working on our courses for people who want to learn more about spirituality.
I never thought I’d be doing this kind of work.
He was inspired in deep meditation for us to work together.
I just couldn’t see it and he hung in there for years insisting it was the right thing for us both. I didn’t think I’d ever teach groups again, but here we are on a Saturday night bashing away at our keyboards letting people know about it.
If I hadn’t started writing like this to you everyday, I believe I’d still be reticent. But the response from people here has been so supportive and positive it’s given me the push I needed.
I’ve pasted the links to our first events below.
We’ve come up with a way of structuring things that I really like.
There are full price tickets and a code to pay half price if finances are tight, as they are for many people. If anyone doesn’t have the means to join us then we simply put them on the guest list. That way the tickets we do sell help cover our costs.
You can find more information below if you’d like to join in or know anyone who might.
Tomorrow is our first live event in London.
I’ll let you know how it goes.
We’re live streaming it too.
Here’s the links
Till tomorrow
Love
Mikey

Thanks Deborah. That’s really lovely of you! The first event went really well. Learning curve on the tech side. But that’s the point. Learn by doing. It will be great to have you join us online. By the next one we’ll have worked out the camera stuff. Thanks so much for your support. It’s really encouraging 💚
Well done to you and Jeremy for taking a step into the unknown. Hoping to join you (virtually) at one of your events. I’m sure you’ll fly !
