Benevolent Beauty
As I write this, the day-long cloud cover is breaking up, and the sun is peeking through in radiant bursts of joyful light. The expanse of trees I can see before me from my window are seemingly coming back to life, new leaves unfurling in a splash of vibrant green...
Limitless Living
As I write this, I am drinking in the gorgeous, sweet fragrance of the Easter Lily sitting in front of me on the coffee table. Beside it is a crystal brandy snifter filled with colorful foil wrapped, dark chocolate Easter eggs from a local chocolatier in town. ...
Eat. Pray. Love. (and Divine Grace)
Yesterday my heart cried. I've cried waterfalls of tears in my life for a slew of reasons. Sometimes in sorrow, sometimes in joy, sometimes with compassion, sometimes in pure relief, and sometimes I've simply been overcome with incredible beauty. I can usually...
What Dreams May Come
Spring is on the way. With seemingly everything else falling away from life as we have known it, there is a deep and gratifying sense of relief within me, that I can still sense and feel the stirring of new life emerging after a long, cold, dark winter here in the...
Journey to the Unknowable
For many people, especially sensitive empaths who were not supported as such growing up, it can feel as though we are losing our minds. All that we held onto for dear life, all that was known and brought comfort and security, is falling away. Whatever we could...
Love’s Way
It's a cool, breezy afternoon as I write this, and I am sipping on a soothing peppermint tea. I just came out of the bathroom, where I noticed in the mirror that my eyes were blazing with a kind of light that was not there this morning when I woke up. Short of...
Soulful Tenderness
Last night as I was laying in bed, just before I fell asleep, I remember having the thought that I should write about September 11, 2001. I found that strange. It's not something that's usually on my radar. This morning it became more clear that I was being guided to...
Beloved Affair
I just ate a gorgeous avocado. I love the way it feels in my hand...how the pear shaped base fits so perfectly in my palm. Having a love affair with an avocado may seem a bit strange, but in keeping with yesterday`s blog post, it`s the soul of a thing, person, or...
The Soul of Everyday Living
It's so easy to get lost in the details and dramas of ordinary life. Of course, they only seem like details and dramas if we are caught up in the whirling "Tazmanian Devil" energy of the mind. In this chaotic, never happy place, the soul of life is completely...
Rip Your Guts Out Kinda Grace
Beauty shows itself in many ways, and if we allow it to, all of life can become an act of grace and exquisite beauty. For the past few days I've been noticing that I'm experiencing chest pains...the kind that you just know have something to do with the heart. I keep...
Kissing The Feet of The Beloved
One of my favorite poets is the great Sufi master from Persia, Hafiz, who lived and wrote during the 1300's. He writes so intoxicatingly about the magic and beauty of the Divine that pulsates in and around everything, and about celebrating and treasuring the...
The Real Game of Life
As I sit here staring at the computer, watching the letters form words across the white screen, I am aware of the constant hum of the hard drive. Someone is nailing something into the wall in the next unit from mine, and I can hear the low drag of the elevator as it...
