Mayday Mayday: A Community Garden Mural Beckons Your Spiritual Consideration. Top Story - May 2025.
Good morning, Vocal Media and spiritual seekers, this is your Monday Morning Huddle for May 5, 2025! Today's inspiration comes from a mural in my local community garden. I was out early this morning walking toward a different location I had set in mind when the mural photographed above jumped out at me, beckoning my immediate attention. It was an odd experience because I see this mural nearly every day; I've seen it for years, but today, it was as if the picture came to life, radioing, "Mayday, Mayday."

The desire to live forever has been a human goal from ancient mythology to contemporary science. Man thinks he is unbreakable somewhere deep within.

The Letter I Never Sent
Hey. I’m writing to you from the future—not the distant kind with flying cars and utopias, but the kind where you made it through everything you thought would destroy you. I’m not here to save you, because you’re going to do that yourself. But there are some things I wish you knew before the silence got too loud and the mirrors stopped being kind.

Not There Yet?
Sometimes I Feel I Am There, But I Am Not There are moments when I am certain I have arrived. The anticipation builds, the goal seems within reach, and my heart races ahead, convinced that this is it. But just as I stretch out my hand, the thing I longed for dissolves- like a mirage fading in the desert heat. I am left clutching at air, bewildered at how something that felt so real could disappear so easily.
