OPENING HEARTS
Fourth International SEAL Conference in Argentina - February 15-16-17, 2002

IN SEARCH OF THE RAINBOW

 

"We may run, walk, stumble, drive or fly... but let us never lose sight of the reason for our journey or miss the chance to see a rainbow on the way." (Gloria Gaither)

In this conference we want to open a path that leaves "heart-prints" with the colours of the rainbow. The rainbow, a metaphor for hope beyond the clouds, a promise of light beyond the storm.

In this conference we want to leave "heart-prints" that can nourish your soul. What we are doing can make a difference. We choose to focus on love; we want to focus on hope. As Martin Luther King said, "Hate cannot drive out hate, only love can do it; darkness cannot drive out darkness, only light can do it".

We believe that happiness is - above all - an attitude of mind that begins in the heart, with the choice to remain happy under all circumstances: no devaluation, no default can ever steal the love in our hearts.

Let us remember that all of the big things in this world have been done by people who have faith and - further - have no idea that what they are doing is obviously impossible ... Thank you for making this conference possible.

God bless you, presenters, participants and organisers for having faith, for believing in miracles. This conference is certainly one!

If you want to find the rainbow ... focus on hope, focus on love:

Open your heart.

Enjoy the conference!
