When I start to examine my Life I get into trouble. When I compare my insides to other people’s outsides, I get into trouble. I periodically find myself in moments of doubt, questioning the choices that I’ve made, questioning the paths that I’ve taken. Wondering if I...

Invite Surrender and Cross the Divide. In the practice of vigilant prayer and meditation we exhaust ourselves, saturate ourselves, strive through our efforts to release, release, release. Space appears and then disappears, sitting in hope that eventually we cross the...

Often times people think that Surrender is when we’ve given up, or allowed ourselves to move from a state of struggle to a state of peace. We are trained to ‘look for’ that kind of Surrender, something that is tangible, that moves us from ‘here to there’....

Our thoughts, words, and identities, are all as changeable as pieces of clothing. They start from nothing but an idea, much like sewing together a shirt or a dress; you begin by choosing the pattern, purchase the material, lay it out and cut the pieces apart,...
