“When you feel peaceful joy, that is when you are near truth” ~rumi I smiled when a friend used this phrase in an email recently,“When I grew out of…” It reminded me that, even after the age of 50, we do grow out of things. It let me know that whatever I am going through right […]

APRIL’S FOOL – and Every Other Month for that Matter!
“The words you speak become the house you live in.” ~Hafiz It happened again. I felt really small again and all my accomplishments-to-date were negated by my judgemental mind. I cannot tell you how it started. All I know is one minute I was having a great day then I felt it melt away. It […]
Becoming Wide and Open
“Your beliefs become your thoughts Your thoughts become your wordsYour words become your actionsYour actions become your habitsYour habits become your characterYour character becomes your destiny” ~mohandas ghandi There is an energy that is spoiling my peace.

Happy Valentine’s Day!
I do not fit snuggly into a world built on principles of clock time and corporeal senses alone. I may appear eccentric if I write about things like “equanimity” and “straddling eternity.” But it is in the effemera I feel most hardy. My strength seems to build upon itself in the light of my spirit. […]

A Call to the Universe
So I am having fun and they all say, “Just follow your passions and life will find you!” But I still have that longing, that requirement to be intimately engaged with one other person. To be joyfully entwined with them and all their interesting foibles and have them lovingly entwined with me and all my […]
Clarity 2.0
Clarity is a fleeting pain in the ass. The prevailing winds change, clarity gently brushes against your cheek, then drifts on. So you better be ready for it or it may just pass you by like it never happened. What do I believe? Getting clear here will help me move to the next level in […]
Tell Me Everything will be OK
A deer chose my house this week. He found a soft pile of leaves on the protected side of the yard, a refuge in the tightly bound space between two fences and my house. There was a complete break. I saw the bone to his back left hoof jutting out from his leg. The pain […]
Like never before
