Waking up to the Joy of Life: A Conference in the Spirit of Anthony de Mello, SJ March 12 - 14, 2010 Fee: $170 In the book, Song of the Bird, Tony writes: The disciple was always complaining to his master, "You are hiding the sacred of enlightenment from me." And he would not accept his master's denials. One day they were walking in the hills when they heard a bird sing. "Did you hear that bird sing?" said the master. "Yes," said the disciple. "Well, now you know that I have hidden nothing from you." "Yes" Reflecting on this, the follower of Christ remembered that "in the beginning was the Word, and the Word was God...and the Word was made flesh."
