☀️ Events & News (09/28/24)
Beautiful & hard
Events & News (published biweekly) is one of the newsletters of The Raft, the online community of author Phyllis Cole-Dai. We Rafters ride the river of life buoyed by music, poetry, and other arts along with open spiritual practice. Most everything here is free, but patrons (paid subscribers) get some special perks because Phyllis is extra grateful for their support. Sign up here:

Whew! That's all for now. Stay well. Stay witty. Stay tuned into your true spot and create from your radiant, beautiful self. See you in two weeks!
Definitely hard — just tested positive for Covid. Undoubtedly got it at church where I preached last Sunday. Six confirmed cases and counting. Bad headaches, waterworks nose, loss of taste, fatigue. This too shall pass, but be careful! It is definitely out there!
Both at once. The beautiful is helping me deal with the hard. Interesting :))
