This is really nice. I loveThis is really nice. I love the show, and I love what you are doing with it. I think Helene has something to offer all of us in her loving way. Thank you for sharing her with us. I will be listening more in the future.
An interesting and engaging showI'm not sure I can say "best," since this is the first I've listened to. That said, the blend of music and discussion, the movement of the questions and depth of the answers, makes it an interesting and engaging show. thanks!
Helene's insight is outstanding, and she goes from herself and beyond herself in a beautiful way. The show had a wonderful shape and flow. The moderator is very skillful and does not overpower the guest. I especially was touched by the Promise of St. Francis, but everything was first rate.
This was a wonderful showThis was a wonderful show with Helene, and I really enjoyed her commentary accompanied by the music. I, too, am a product of the '60s college scene and the struggles of that era!
I thoroughly enjoyed theI thoroughly enjoyed the music as well as the comments. I know Helene and she is a deeply spiritual person. It was wonderful to share her music. The format was excellent and I can see the program as a powerful spiritual tool.
The music really helps toThe music really helps to illustrate Helene's wonderful spiritual growth and exploration. It is a great way to share things that can be hard to articulate in conversation. It's like being invited inside of her meditations; that is a valuable gift. Thank you for sharing Helene and her knowledge and her journey with the wider world of seekers.
Listening to Helene's sharingListening to Helene's sharing of her soul and the music that inspires her was a most uplifting experience. What touched me the most was her vulnerability and her willingness to share so deeply about her connection to God through music. I resonnated with that level of spirituality, being a liturgical musician with Medical Mission Sisters in Philadelphia, PA. Music sustains me on many different levels. Helene's spiritual journey is one that obviously is done with great care and loving. Thank you, Helene, for sharing yourself with us so fully! Thank you, Mark, for a wonderful program and I wish you all the luck in the future. Peace, Mary Anne Crowley
I enjoyed listeningDear Mark, Just to say how I enjoyed listening to this program which I thought was “Music from the soul to the soul and talk from the deep mind to the mind”. I would also like to thank you for giving me the opportunity to know my friend Helene Pollock better and appreciate her keen understanding of the human mind through music of the heart. The songs were inspiring particularly ‘Cave of the Heart' by John Michael Talbot and “Anointed” by Kathy Sherman. These 2 songs brought memories of my soul searching periods and set in me a wave of spiritual exuberance. I will refer to them in my lonesome search for peace and love in a world of much needed understanding and truth. As a Quaker from Lebanon having fled with my family the atrocities of the war of summer 2006 to the peace and compassion of Haverford College, Helene Pollock was a steady support for us in a period of anxiety and adaptation. I thank you dear Mark for giving me the opportunity to know Helene better and know where she is coming form. Please excuse my subjective comment. I wish you and your program continued progress in outreach and the spread of deep contentment of the soul. In Friendship Tony Manasseh
A wonderful giftMy dear friend Helene Pollock emailed me about your show and since she is someone whom I regard as a spiritual friend, I listened. What an amazing and moving experience! What a wonderful gift you have for bringing out a person's hidden depths through music! I have known and admired and loved Helene for years and had many deep and soulful conversations with her but I had no idea of this side of her personality and spirit. What a wonderful revelation! I was so impressed by the idea of your show that I invited my wife (who is a Methodist pastor) to listen in and suggested that this might be a meaningful and moving way to organize a worship sharing experience for music lovers. I think that Quakers might find this format to be spiritually enriching and will certainly recommend your show to Friends. Yours in peace and friendship, Anthony Manousos, Editor of Friends Bulletin
