Becoming a Spiritual Seeker can originate from one of two ways – either from outside circumstances, such as pain, failure, humiliation, or profound powerlessness or hopelessness, a brokenness that leads to surrender. Or from within – a call, deep sense of...

Last week I rediscovered the magic of speaking the Language of the Heart. Coupled with Keeping it Green, I sought to be present to myself, to tell on myself, to describe my inward condition. Yesterday’s spiritual insight was sufficient for that day, but not for the...

Every time one of us pays attention to the Spirit of Love & Joy, we enter a new destination into our internal GPS. Once entered, we open ourselves to a continuous flow of course corrections from Spirit. Similar to when we key in an unknown destination into our...

Changing the footing of our life work, our daily activities is a challenging process under any circumstances. But initiating such a change away from the premise that our life must be productive in order to be of value, is almost impossible. We are indoctrinated with...

Throughout all of human history we find the universal theme of “dis-ease” and throughout the same history, we are offered countless ways that humanity has strived to explain the source of this ‘dis-ease’ as a means of coping, if not eradicating the cause. What if our...

As a child I would often escape to Nature, find a field to lie in, and stare up at the Clouds — watching the Cloud-People dance across the blue field, morphing, changing, bumping into one another, I would propel myself upward hoping to be enveloped into the...

It is said that fish don’t know that they swim, that they don’t know that they move and have their being in a liquid. They simply glide and flow within the environment that is their Universe. Awareness as Water is very much the same thing. We don’t know that we...

Activists take up a cause, perhaps become part of a group; some may create a mission and vision statement, or organize their efforts toward a worthy goal. These aren’t necessarily bad things, in fact many good works and positive changes come out of such activities! ...

This is a line from a hymn, sung during my childhood. I always envisioned Grace as something that was bestowed, or a quality that someone has in the world (very rarely would I attribute being graceful to myself). But the notion that Grace Will Lead You Home —...

A number of years ago I went to a gallery opening of a friend’s exhibition. As I walked through the gallery I alternated between the desire to share with a close friend my experience or to stand in silence to feel — such amazing work. Everything was so rich...

I suspect that I’m coming to grips with the reality of being ordinary — my teacher told me years ago to practice ‘bowing lower’ (from the Buddhist perspective), not struggling for or against, saying ‘yes’ to what is. I have been...

An ex-partner once said to me that I had what it took (whatever THAT means) to have been wildly successful, and rich — the brilliance, creativity, etc. Then he followed up with: “So why aren’t you?” I was offended, not complimented – it was...

Today’s technology, for all of its magic, has a distinct down-side – providing infinite forums to help create the illusion of safety, we believe we have full freedom to convey our own true self without censorship, completely unhampered by others’ judgments which may...

I support you in listening to your heart about whether or not a certain Choice or Action is your call or leading; others can (and often do) chime in to give their thoughts and opinions, but they have their own Light to follow. So if you find yourself in a place in...

There is much ‘talk’ and admonition about learning to live from our heart and not from our head (to the dismay of many intellectual and scientific folks). But I can relate to the tyranny of the mind — reflecting back on the eons of struggle,...

Cultivating Our Heart — is going into the deepest part of our being to find our Selves and God. Begin upon waking in the morning by focusing inward, into your very core — sense you There deep within. Anything that flows out beyond that feels unimportant,...

Grief and Joy are such a part of life — when one is in Joy, Grief is in the shadows, so one forgets how it is the sharpness of Grief that makes Joy possible. It’s the pits when we are forced to remember. Yet there is something to New Life that comes with...

and the Universe will support you. Reminds me of the book entitled “Do What You Love, and the Money Will Follow” – although I’ve never read the book, the teaching has stuck. There have been many, many times when I ‘believed’ that lack of money blocked me from taking...
