'It is great wisdom to know how to be silent and to look at neither the remarks, nor the deeds, nor the lives of others.' – Saint John of the Cross A friend sent that quote to me the other week. Wisdom, knowledge and choice, to me, is freedom....assessing where your time is [...]
It might mean your heart changes. Or that you let go of an old way of being. That you finally did what you've been intending for so long but didn't quite know how. Or that God, the Universe, that awesome essence, light, power, jump-started an initiative for you. Or maybe you just decided to stop [...]
News alert to my psyche...hope (the context I know) is dangerous. I'm sitting with an awareness this morning of what a therapist I used to 'hang out with' called, 'the hungry ghost'. This ghost, to me, is the one that holds on to some belief, some aspiration of change, transformation, illusion, (mostly in others) [...]
This line of thought came to me today. It's a good thought. Consider your assumptions. I'm looking at mine. We really don't know so many things...why people do what they do, who really is watching over us, loving us, in the seen and unseen, why events in our life occur the way they do. I'm [...]
I have been sleeping a lot during my eye surgery recovery and dreaming. I dream a lot anyway....while awake and especially when asleep.

I felt as though I'd emerged from a tightly knit cocoon! The wheels [...]
As I continue on this road of self discovery, really, discerning who I do and don't want hanging out in my ether space, I am at the same time cultivating a style for which to screen, negotiate and honor my sensibilities. I've always not only done my best to 'play fair' I have from time [...]
I bought a washer and dryer for my business today...it got me to thinking. My life has been like a washer stuck on spin for a year or two... I'd best turn the switch.....rinse would be lovely....even wash. The spin has me at this point over-the-top dizzy. It's a good thing I can dance. It [...]
Curiously the number of readers of this blog are growing and I'm this morning wondering who you are? Where do you come from, what sparks your fancy? I'm readying for an adventure....in about a week and a half, an adventure different from the day-to-day adventures that fill my life. I'll be going away....it's a secret [...]
