People are so entirely fallible. I can live with that. What is harder is when they seem content or unaware within their own deep seated illusions. Or when I endeavor to tune into 'heart' and hear only static, or worse, nothing. I like talking about the elephant in the room. He's there, taking up space, [...]
I indulged in Elizabeth Berg's 'A Year of Pleasures' today. Some background: The main character Betta, recently lost her husband. In the dialogue which follows, Betta is speaking with her friend Maddy, (they're newly reunited old pals), having learned that Maddy's eleven year old daughter died diving into the shallow end of a pool. When [...]
I've been short of breath this entire week, I can't get a full breath. I'm strong, healthy and in good shape. Sick people and old ladies usually are the ones short of breath. My friend informed me it was STRESS. And then she followed it up with, 'Stress is the #1 killer in America. [...]
Which is it. What do we do from one day to the next, moment to the next? SUPPORT...I'm all for that, giving it and receiving it. Support to me is giving someone the tools to do what they have the ability to do. We can give it and receive it...Support for efforts in growth, learning [...]
With the myriad of dense energy I've found myself mucking about in lately, realizing my inner zing and joy was a bit diminished, I knew it was up to me, and only me to turn things around....to turn my light back on. I have a lot of light and typically, great energy and joy, despite [...]
"Not everything that is faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed until it is faced." - James Baldwin, Author and Activist Our greatest gift to ourselves and certainly to another person, is to see them spiritually....to see the person inside the humanity. This thought just lit a lightbulb in my head after sitting [...]
Today was like driving an old truck up a dry creek bed....the ups and downs of emotions like bobbing buoys at sea. A line of thought came to me today... ....steam, turns to water, turns to rivers, turns to oceans, salty oceans teaming with life. I'm only building up steam, washing away the things and [...]
I've felt a bit alien in my own skin and frankly in the world in which I live of late, astonished by what I perceive as the barren-ness of some, (I'll call them), 'belief systems' I've encountered recently, evidenced by the people who demonstrate those belief systems by their actions. I'm not judging them, though [...]
I'm at the airport, connected finally to the internet, waaaay early for meeting my sister-in-law in from Germany to visit during her layover, and somehow, (a first), I'm not interested in people watching....as the flood of emails has grown in being out of my office networking for two days. I'm wondering when it all becomes [...]
I feel perhaps I'm in a most pensive stage of late....I've got some serious questions and some serious discerning to do. It's almost like looking at a photo from the backside if there were such a thing. My choice is always to support the highest within whatever situation or thought I encounter. I'm finding that [...]
