Because it’s December, and December is quite unlike any other month, I’m choosing one good thing to focus on just to keep a sense of balance. Love happens to be one of those good things. It makes our hearts sing. I’m choosing more love for our world.
This past summer after meeting my daughter, Sumi, for lunch, I decided to go to Gotham Book Mart & Gallery, Inc. located at 16 East 46th Street in Manhattan. It’s a place where you can find books not found in larger book stores. As I was browsing in one of my favorite sections, a book fell from the shelf above. Since it found its way to me, I glanced at it. It’s a story about a man named Lester Levenson www.lesterlevenson.org. who was the founder of the Sedona Method www.sedonamethod.com . If you’re looking for something to read this month, don’t hesitate to choose this one. I did. It’s called “Choose Freedom” and the author is Virginia Lloyd. It begins with Lester’s family and his early life, and tells how, in one of his most desperate periods, he manages to turn his life around in, well I suppose you can say, “the twinkling of an eye” How he did it is fascinating to read.
Lester, while in the depths of despair, starts to question his entire life. And in asking questions relevant to his life, he discovers startling answers. We read how he begins to untangle his thoughts about his past and present and comes to an understanding about one of the great powers and mysteries of the universe- love. It’s a story of a life; it’s a wonderful story – a story for December.
