John Morton Sharing on J-R's Birthday 2018

Heaven On Earth Tour 2018 | Lake Como, Italy | Day 10

 

“My job is to awaken the soul into the soul realm, so you can have heaven while you’re on earth.” John-Roger, DSS.

 

Lake Como, Italy | Day 10 | September 24

Happy Birthday, John-Roger! It is a beautiful shiny morning and a day of celebration of John-Roger and his legacy.

We begin our morning with a grand buffet breakfast. The breakfast included eggs of every style, pastries, jams, chocolate of all sorts, bread, sausages, vegetables, juices, coffees, and on and on. As we sit down at our table, we relish in the view that overlooks Lake Como as the town awakes.

Our first journey this morning is a visit next door at Villa Carlotta. Villa Carlotta is a villa and botanical garden in Tremezzo on Lake Como in Northern Italy. The villa is today a museum, whose art collection includes works by Canova, Thorvaldsen, Migliara, and Hayez in addition to pieces of furniture from the time of the various owners. The villa is located at the top of a terraced garden, with views of Bellagio and the mountains surrounding the lake. It consists of three floors (two of which are open to the public). The works of art on display are mainly located on the lower floor, while the upper one, which has an elegant gallery, provides views over the lake.

Followed by the garden visit, on our itinerary is a hike to San Martino Church which is an hour uphill to arrive at a great view. San Martino is a small church located at an altitude of 475 m on the slopes of Sasso S.Martino above Griante. A cobblestone, steep path leads to the church from where there is a lovely view of the central lake area. The church is tucked away on the mountaintop, next to a sheer cliff. John takes us into a transcendent talk overlooking Lake Como and the majesty of the land as we continue our celebration of the life and times of John-Roger.

As we gather together at our group meeting, many folks arrive in elegant attire coming together to celebrate J-R’s birthday. Beautiful memories and beautiful sharings from so many of the most touching memories of John-Roger.

After our group meeting, John takes us for a delightful evening stroll through the grounds of the Grand Tremezzo. We stop along the way to partake to receive of the Traveler’s grace with a talk from John, and the sweetness of the evening, like a songbird singing of love.

John walks us to another beautiful view of Lake Como, and talks of Heaven on Earth. At this moment in time, we drift off into the loving arms of the Traveler.

The evening dinner is now prepared, and we arrive at our astounding buffet! Pasta, bread, pizza, Veal, cheese courses of all kinds, and much more. As we find a seat, we receive a unique present on our chairs, of either an authentic hat or scarf from Italy. Excitedly many of us put on our hats and scarfs or eagerly trade for another with a friend.

As we sit in company with our Beloveds, Rick Ojeda begins the evening festivities introducing many folks sharing with poems, and comedy and love. We finish our celebration with Moments of Peace of John-Roger and experience God’s Grace extend to us through John-Roger as we gaze into the eyes of the Beloved staring back at us. God Bless you John-Roger and all that you are, all that you have given us, and all that we have become because of you.

In Loving Service,
Love and Light Julie
