    * Let’s Dance

    I am home from Scotland and getting back into the daily routine.  I had a great time meeting some old friends and being with family. One of the best memories was at a family gathering at my brothers house. It has become a tradition that at some point in the evening everyone gets up to…

    School Prayer

    Originally posted on Radiating Blossom ~ Flowers & Words: In the name of the daybreak and the eyelids of morning and the wayfaring moon and the night when it departs, I swear I will not dishonor my soul with hatred, but offer myself humbly as a guardian of nature, as a healer of misery, as…

    Music Inspiration – A Sense of Peace

    I love this music from Patrick Kelly, especially for Savasana. It takes us on a journey from relaxing lapping waves and bird calls, to angelic voices and swelling uplifting waves of music. Can you discover yourself smiling?… This moment is always here to tap into when we take time to pause and listen inwards. Music…

  • * True Love

    When we truly love someone, it isn’t because of  their looks, personality, how they behave, or their values. It isn’t about how they make us feel either… When we truly love someone, we love the Light within the person. Our soul, or divine essence, recognizes the soul or divine essence of the other. As enlightened…

  • * There Are No Perfect Human Beings

    Originally posted on Find Your Middle Ground: It’s time to give up the illusion of being perfect and accept our human nature. “There are no perfect human beings! Persons can be found who are good, very good indeed, in fact, great. There do in fact exist creators, seers, sages, saints, shakers, and movers…even if they…

  • The Depths of our Relationships

    I read an interesting article some time ago by coach Michael Neill on how there are different levels in our relationships with others. I’m not talking about literal closeness, for example a brother is closer than a colleague at work, but more about our ability to truly connect in an authentic way with an other…

  • * Embrace Tao ☯

    Embrace Tao and you will move effortlessly with the world. At peace, you will generate peace. The pleasures of life seem emphasized against their backdrop, But the ubiquitous presence of Tao Is encompassing to the extent that it goes unnoticed. It is not seen with eyes. It is not heard with ears. It can never…

  • The Unknown Part of You

    Awaken to the unknown part of you That sits in the shadows, That roars from the mountain top. Embrace its cries in the dead of night, The unfathomable dreams. It is the yearning in us all To be free from separation.

  • * Brilliant Minds Are Not Enough

    Even brilliant minds recognize  that they alone cannot relieve their own distress. “Man is never helped in his suffering by what he thinks for himself, but only by revelation of a wisdom greater than his own. It is this which lifts him out of his distress.” ~ Carl Jung “No problem can be solved from the…

  • * Inspiration – Gregory Colbert’s Feather to Fire

    Moments that take your breath away … as you pause in awe … and feed your very being. In exploring the shared language and poetic sensibilities of all animals, I am working towards rediscovering the common ground that once existed when people saw themselves as part of nature and not outside of it. The destiny…
