John Calvi's 39 Beethoven Letter

 The 39^th Beethoven Letter

Dear Friends,

 

Thank you for your kind and generous support over the years.  This keeps me going in all ways.  Your good care via these pragmatic gifts are the bread and butter of my life and a delight to receive.  Thank you for years of including me in your generosity.  

 

Writing this winter was a good hard work of getting down the stories of my life.  It was more than difficult to write about early hurt, echoes reverberated through my whole body.  I trust these stories in my third book will be a help to others seeking more than survival, thriving with less pain.  The remaining task will be writing the stories of my four decades of work as a Quaker healer studying trauma in many settings.  My editors request your help by sending a short blurb as to how my work may have helped you to go in the front of the book. 

 

Seeing all my doctors this month.  So far, so good.  I’ve more energy a year after the heart attack and activities increase. It’s unclear if I can return to the full health I had, but there’s lots of living just as I am, thank goodness. I’ve been cruising in the breakdown lane, but now I’ve picked up a little speed. 

 

I apologize to those contacting me for help and teaching.  I’m in a time of rebuilding.  I’m not ill, but I am still recovering energy and strength.  There are encouraging signs of returning physical health bringing bits of my gifts back.  There are three signs in particular-

-       My hands have begun to heat up again, though the amount of energy coming through is less than half of what it was.

-       I’ve begun to receive messages again about the nature of others’ pain, though I do not engage with each message or person.

-       When I was overcome with illness, I had an ache in my chest whenever I had an empathetic response to someone in trouble.  That ache is now gone.  I don’t have stamina to engage, but I often see the nature of our human knots.

 

I still publish stories on behalf of The Quaker Initiative to End Torture- QUIT! on our FaceBook page.  I am the founding convener of QUIT! beginning in May of 2005.  There is progress and there is much work to do, especially in Uganda.

 

Thank you for all your care and support.  I will continue writing this memoir and seek better health.  I am writing my best stories of moving from wounded to healing.  Thank you for making my work possible over the years.  Please help with your gifts, supporting what I can do.

 

In the Light,

Virtuosity - Celebrated Media Works of John Calvi –

 

On the homepage of my website – www.johncalvi.com – is a talk called “Laying Down the Weapons ‘Round Our Hearts” (right near a donation button).  My friend, Bill Kreidler, said this was my best work.  This website will be super refreshed soon.

 

Here is a talk given to New England Quakers -https://neym.org/2021-sessions

The Q & A has me laughing a lot and for good reason.

 

Both these meditations are or will soon be on my website – 

 

-       Solar Flame – created by Jean Schweitzer, with my additions, useful for clearing out other people’s stuff from your interior.

 

-       Sugar & Snow – my meditation to rest the hurting body.

 

I composed and performed songs as a teen into my 50’s.  Here are some recordings of my songs by me and others.  Search “John Calvi” on YouTube. Here are 9 songs I performed for Rob Meehan’s Gay Spirit radio show on WWUH in February 1982.

John Calvi's 38th Beethoven Letter May 2022

 38^th Beethoven Letter  -  John Calvi

Dear Friends, 

 

I am turning 70 and celebrating 40 years in the work of helping people to heal from trauma.  It’s humbling even to write this and even more humbling to know it’s all been possible due to your support.  I am awash with gratitude.  Thank you for this long ride together!

 

My education began in the rape crisis in 1982.  I learned how the safety and trust I had established in pre-school classrooms was necessary for survivors.  I studied the damages and recovery through body/mind work, all under a spiritual leading.  In the fall of 1983, I began work in the AIDS pandemic.  While outcomes were distinct, the paths were similar – how to release pain and confusion.  I began work in prisons in 1985, with tortured refugees in 1988, and with ritual abuse survivors in 1991.  My spiritual gift to release pain grew as my disciplines and surrender to this work increased.  It’s been the adventure of my life, to learn and to teach.

 

Several years ago, a new type of fatigue began that was not restored by rest.  Doctors found nothing to explain the fatigue/shortness of breath that was increasing each year.    I had noticed that the bright Light and overwhelming rush of energy during work was no longer a flood of Light and mercy.  It had decreased to a trickle, no matter my rest or other preparations.  The gift that had been growing since my 20’s was now decreasing along with the capacity for an energetic life of service.  Things became clear when I had a heart attack in March.

 

My doctors say I will recover.  There was no damage to the heart muscle.  But about 90% of my gift is gone.  Teaching, hands-on healing, and traveling in many states has ended for now.  It’s not clear that my spiritual gift to release pain following trauma will return as my heart heals. I was a Quaker healer, but now cruising smoothly in the breakdown lane.  I have not engaged in any work since August 2021 (see YouTube).  All attention is to my own health.

 

Adjusting to this new reality, I find myself lacking grace.  I’m not angry so much as bewildered and frustrated that all the patterns and routines of the past 4 decades are now set aside.  What is left is my writing.  This is a relief and a release.  Work on a third book, a memoir, continues, though much more slowly.  I often hear that I’ve helped many, some of whom I’ve never met, by describing my experiences and what I’ve learned.  Writing the stories of my own healing and becoming a healer for this third book will go on, plus I’ve other books in mind.

 

Your support now in my later years is especially important.  Income from teaching and hands-on clients is gone.  Your continued gifts make for a tidy, smaller life as I do what I can from my writing desk.  Thank you for your every consideration.  I trust and hope that as you view the state of the world and our country, there is a place for me in your generosity and care.  Thank you for that and for valuing my life’s work.

 

In the Light,                                                                   May 2022

 

 

PS My editors for book 3 welcome your brief statements on how I’ve been of help to you.

 Dear All,                                                                                                  July 16, 2021

 

My thanks to the very many people who have been in touch with good care and strong support during my illness.  You have provided a tremendous foundation to encourage hope and wellness from all the circles of my life. Thank you.  I am grateful & honored.

 

And I am a little bit better.  Along with all your help, a new doctor with a different approach and supplements for my heart has brought me out of the stark valley of not breathing well and bewildering fatigue.  I am slightly better each week.  I hope for more, though no one can know for sure that these improvements will continue or even hold in place.  But this is the first time in years that I’ve felt consistently better and this gives me courage.

 

It’s been a confusing time.  For almost a year, doctors have given mixed messages.  When their tests do not reveal a cause, they hesitate to say We Don’t Know to the point of blaming me- the couch potato idea was quashed with a glance at my calendars- yes, teaching in several states a year does not cause muscle weakness.  Recently one doctor said his test proved I was not ill.  I offered the perspective that his test did not show why I was ill, not that I wasn’t.  Do I need to teach in med schools now?

 

Enter a new doc in April and by mid-May I didn’t feel like I was dying.  This was a wonderful surprise.  I stopped making plans to finish last works and where should my massage table go.  And began to ponder the meaning of a serious threat now turned to continued living and seeking.  Whether there is to be more or if the postponement will show itself to be short, is unknown.

 

Some things seem to be clear.  My singing voice is gone, has been for a few years- not enough breath.  The couple of attempts at energy work to help people in pain have proven my gift to release pain is either gone or awaiting rejuvenation.  I still get out of breath if I talk for too long, though this too is improving.

 

I am feeling well enough that I have accepted two Zoom speaking invitations.  Sunday August 8^th I’ll speak to Spring Friends Meeting in North Carolina- I will be interviewed by Chuck Fager.  On Monday evening August 9^th I’ll offer a plenary to New England Yearly Meeting annual sessions on healing.  This will be recorded and on their website.

 

Other than that, most of my hours are given to resting and getting well.  I haven’t worked since November 2020.  I am not taking clients by phone or in person.  If I am going to recharge, then output is to be minimal.  Work on book #3 goes slowly and awaits fuller breathing from me.  I’m grateful for your encouragements on this too.

 

Again, thank you all for every manner of support along the way.  I hope this finds us all well, on the mend, and surrounded by what we need.  Thanks, John 

 

 The 37^th Beethoven Letter

Dear All, 

 

I’m probably not dying.  Not right away, not anytime soon.  It may be years.  But I’ve been disabled to the point where I can no longer teach or use my healing touch.  My healing gift has become greatly diminished.  There is no consensus among my doctors.  It’s mainly fatigue and shortness of breath if I speak for too long or walk too fast.  I am not in pain and I don’t feel I am in immediate danger.  I am not suffering.  There is no prescribed treatment yet, as we don’t know what is wrong.  Will I get better?  Will I get worse and leave?  Will I stay as I am?  This is not yet known.  I am tidying up a few things in case.  I am saddened, but not afraid.

 

I have been feeling these changes coming on gradually the last few years.  I’ve felt a lessening of energy in ways that rest did not restore.  It became critical last fall when breathing got very difficult.  I’ve not worked since that time.  More tests are coming.  It’s a very big change. 

 

I gave myself to a life work of healing trauma through a spiritual gift of releasing pain.  This began in the summer of 1982.  My last teaching engagement was in the fall of 2020.  It’s been 38 years of a traveling work with much Light speaking to great need.  I’ve worked in the crises of rape, AIDS, prisons, tortured refugees, ritual abuse, among others.  All this by invitations to work and gifts of support.  This was within the tradition of Quaker ministry and following a leading. I’m also the founding convener of The Quaker Initiative to End Torture- QUIT! since 2005 and still publish news of American torture on the QUIT website and FaceBook.  I enclose my calendars- 1982 to 2020.  I’ve been well used.  There has been much Light and much work.

 

Both my books are available on Kindle- paper from Quaker Books and paper & Kindle from Amazon.  Progress on my third book, a memoir of healing my own life wounds and becoming a healer, is my current work- along with clearing my archives to be given to a Quaker college library.  All this goes slowly as you can imagine.  I am 69 on May 14.  Every day is not a good energy day.  I expect my excessive qualities of stubbornness to prevail as I continue to write. 

 

To be clear- I am not in pain or current danger.  I am not suffering or homebound, but energy is quite limited. I am grieving that a grand work that took years to learn and perform gracefully has for the most part ended, at least I think so.  I’ll write and will put archive audio/video recordings on my website.  Marshall & I have much to adjust to.  He’s been my anchor.

 

I have lived and worked primarily by invitations and gifts since 1982.  I still need your gifts.  My living has been simple- a small home, limited income- i.e. no dental work and snow tires purchased in the same month.  Your help over the years has been the lifeline that kept me going.  It still is.  I hope you will take this message to heart.  Please be careful - I have no capacity for the burden of others’ grief.  It’s a time be glad for what has been a great ride.  Imagine a person doing good works, people seeing it, and supporting it for nearly 4 decades.  Amazing and humbling!  Thank you, thank you, thank you.  And please send a gift.
