Pushed by Pain, Pulled by Impulse

May 31, 2010

I heard a talk by Michael Beckwith recently.  I was impressed.  He was asked if change requires pain, suffering, or chaos.  We certainly see repeated evidence that this is so. Dr. Beckwith had a wonderful answer.  He said that we are pushed by pain until we are pulled by impulse.  This resonates deeply with me. [...]

All This and More

May 28, 2010

I was in a funk yesterday.  I couldn’t pull myself out of it.  Then I went into the greenhouse to pot some plants and I discovered a bird’s nest.  The babies are so very tiny!  And the Carolina Wren mother worked right around me, barely bothered by my presence.  I couldn’t help but smile–despite myself. [...]

A Shade Darker

May 27, 2010

I really don’t have a thing to say today.  I’m writing because I made a commitment to myself and to you to write Monday through Friday.  I’m writing because I know that if I skip a day here then I’ll probably skip a day there.  Before I know it, I won’t be writing anymore.  I’m [...]

Speak the Truth

May 26, 2010

I mentioned yesterday that something is bubbling in me.  I had a dream the other night that gave me a hint.  It felt important.  As I was moving through that state between sleeping and waking, I got a clear message:  Speak the truth with kindness, clarity, and authority. It was that clear. It stayed with [...]

Self Editing

May 25, 2010

I edit myself when writing my blog, and in other areas of my life, too.  I withhold, tone down, try to show a certain face, etc.  I still have a smidgen of fear that I’ll be misunderstood or won’t be accepted if I put forth my whole being.  I suppose it’s a more than a [...]

Missing Mojo

May 24, 2010

My mojo is missing.  Just the other day I entered a brief state where I felt that I was about to step into a powerful new stage of life, by the next day it had vanished.  Does this ever happen to you? I know I’m tired, my routine is out of balance, and I’m not [...]

Intent on Life

May 21, 2010

It’s that time of year.  Babies everywhere.  Innocence, birth, new life, beginnings, renewal.  Such wonderful words.  I want to take in the essence of thos words.  I want to feel them deep inside.  I want to savor the beauty of these moments. I’m tired…really tired.  I feel a tad off balance.   We’ve been in [...]

I am Not Alone

May 20, 2010

I received news day before yesterday that Daddy is dying of lung cancer.   While news like this is difficult for me, it’s important to remember that the world does not revolve around me.  In fact, I just read a statistic that, according to the Lung Cancer Alliance, an estimated 437 people die of lung cancer [...]

All Shall Be Well

May 19, 2010

I found out yesterday afternoon that my Dad has terminal lung cancer.  The news kind of sucks the wind out of me.  I feel like I just found my dad…now I’m going to lose him.  I never thought I’d have a close relationship with him, but in the last year all that has changed.  We [...]

Tree of Life

May 18, 2010

I am so very fascinated with this bubble and the reflection therein.  I can see the entire universe in that bubble.  It contains the tree of life. The Tree of Life symbolizes the relatedness of ALL. Every part of the universe contains every part of the universe, down to the tiniest quark.  I contain every [...]
