The Empty Canvas of In-Between
How much of your life has been created by you to nourish your soul and make your senses come alive? Get quiet here... Really sit with this... Take a deep breath or two... What feelings does this question stir up within your body? Is there a sense of deep...
Song of the Beloved
I awake to the sound of birdsong reverberating across the valley. Wispy clouds dance in feathery swirls against the clear, blue sky. I can smell the lush, rich earth drenched in morning dew. The cat purrs at my feet. The soft sheets caress my body in a cozy,...
What The Soul Sees
I have said this many times before, I know, but I am blessed to live in a place where the daily view from 'my balcony in the sky' is expansive, vast, and stunningly beautiful. It also faces west, so I am doubly blessed with incredible sunsets that tend to render the...
Effortless Abundance
Last month I wrote about my new garden and the sacred serenity it brings to me. Just one short month later, the earth has lavished us with her effortless abundance. We have enjoyed so many gorgeous lettuces, green and yellow beans, herbs, and spring onions, and...
When Angels Fingerpaint
I recently re-published a book of poetry that was originally released back in 1997 called When Angels Fingerpaint. It was such a joy to re-visit these words, having to re-type each one, as the original computer and files were long gone. What was reinforced as I typed...
Sacred Serenity
I recently acquired a garden plot as part of a community garden in the town where I live. This community garden is part of a wonderful project that helps to provide organic, locally grown produce to the town's food bank. I am provided with my own personal garden plot...
These Are The Days
It's incredible to be alive at this point in the planet's evolution. So much, in just our lifetime, has drastically changed on every level. I'm 51 years old, and the 60's, 70's, 80's, and 90's no longer exist as memories to draw upon in an effort to live this life....
Joy Comes Softly
These days, I'm finding less and less to write about. Everything seems to boil down to the same thing. We are here. We exist. Anything other than that is simply suffering from the attachments, conditioning, concepts, and beliefs our minds have learned. The good news...
The Purpose of All Creation
How easy it is to get lost in a sea of questions: "What is my purpose?""Why am I here?""How may I serve?""Who am I?" While asking these types of questions can certainly lead us to the eternal well-spring of the spiritual nourishment we may be so desperately longing...
Life Is But A Dream
"In every moment we are absolutely perfect because our true nature is indestructible. Our true nature cannot be conditioned by anything.” – Anam Thubten Sometimes it can be really challenging for the mind to grasp that this life we are living is just a dream. It tends...
Something Endless & Beginning-less
In this excerpt (below) from my ebook, The Myth of Being Thin, I reflected while these few paragraphs were being written, on the teachings most of us never received about our true essence. "Self-improvement is halted in its tracks when we get a taste of our true...
When The Sky Speaks
I took this sunset photo below a few hours ago from my balcony. Beauty's presence leaves me awestruck every single time. I never tire of the wonder of the natural world. In fact, in moments like this one, all I feel is pure grace, endless love, and deep gratitude. Who...
