The sun rises. A new day dawns, a page on which you and I record for eternity activities whose success or failure may lie in the thought for the day proposed by John Cock in his Journey Reflection. Direct, deep, diverse that thought, aglow with energy for the day’s activities of body, mind, and heart. ~Margaret Berry, Ph.D., author and Professor Emerita, John Carroll University, Ohio
Every person, consciously or not, likely begins her/his day with a bit of self-imposed brainwashing. What perceptions, assumptions or subtle messages will I choose to set the tone for this day? Happily, I start most mornings over coffee with my new “old” friends, Journer and Nez. Through their lively repartee, John Cock has made it possible to dialog with them throughout the day. ~Randy Williams, Partners on Purpose, Texas
Truth is Truth is Truth is Truth ... however, the capacity to communicate this Reality in a contemporary, 21st century, global, quantum scientific container is a rare treasure for which I watch vigilantly. John and Lynda Cock call forth my deepest perspective daily, and I thank them for this gift. ~Michael May, Curriculum Editor, Interior Mythos Journeys, Indiana
The reflections call us to attend to the encounters of our spirit journey. Across the breakfast table: a minute of reading aloud, another of reflection, another of rehearsing our intentions for the day. Then we are ready to engage in creating the adventures that come at every turn. ~Marileen and Don Johnson, retired educator and clery, California
Within busy schedules, it is important to include time for reflection on the deeper aspects of life. I appreciate the work John Cock has done to assist so many of us, far and near, to participate in a daily spiritual exercise. The visual images that always accompany the written word online are an especially helpful touch. ~Terry Bergdall, Illinois
The Daily Spirit Journal, from the daily blogs, is a great way to fulfill my need for depth reflection beyond the daily cares of my life. The pictures, quotes and comments stimulate my thinking and remind me of the spiritual depths that I otherwise tend to ignore. The Daily Spirit Journal is a tool for deepening and sharing the journey of my life. ~Alan Gammel, investment consultant, Washington
Daily Journey Reflection speaks to all of us and inspires and broadens our outlooks on life. We are all on a journey and certainly need encouragement and enlightenment on the way. How nice to start our day with thoughtful words, lovely art and gentle reminders to live our lives to the fullest. ~Mildred Miller McGuire, industrial engineer, Tennessee
What a gift each day of the year to be nourished by thoughts from such a diverse spirit community. I anticipate the next encounter tomorrow. And just think of the power of thousands of us reflecting together on the same life-giving thought daily. ~Bill Reece, past minister of Pine Valley Christian Church and founder of Campaign to End Childhood Hunger, Kansas
I have found the Journey Reflection an ongoing inspiration that regularly grounds my actions in a larger context. The daily topics reflect a profound and diverse understanding of “spirit” and are as expansive as the universe itself. I’m grateful for John’s ever-renewing insights. ~Cheryl Kartes, Technology of Participation: ToP mentor trainer, Minnesota
My father reminds me to reflect regularly. For many years I struggled to understand why this was important but now realize that caring for my spirit is critical. I use his books and blog as practical ways to keep in tune with life and my surroundings. ~Jeremiah Cock, chief technology officer and co-founder of Varrow, Inc., North Carolina
