Passion and the Saboteur

December 13, 2010

You can feel the passion flowing through your veins as you do what is impossible and you pull it off, because you want to. –from the song “Halo” by Solovox Passion has been flowing through my veins lately.  I am beginning to get a vision for what I want to unfold in my life in [...]

Between the Seconds

December 10, 2010

“Love is there if you want it to be, you just have to see that it’s wrapped in beauty and hidden away between the seconds of your life.  If you don’t stop for a minute, you might miss it.”  Cashback, the movie. This morning I happened to glance out the sliding glass door that opens [...]

Trembling of a Leaf

December 9, 2010

“Never say there is nothing beautiful in the world anymore. There is always something to make you wonder in the shape of a tree, the trembling of a leaf.” Albert Schweitzer All the leaves have fallen now–mostly.  Temperatures plummet.  Winter arrives with no announcement.  December.  The ending of a decade. My emotions have had a [...]

Bringing Awareness

December 8, 2010

A white poinsettia sits before me on Daddy’s coffee table.  It is more subtle in it’s beauty than a red poinsettia, but gorgeous none the less. The rising sun spreads across the leaves with warmth and shines upon my face in greeting.  I take in the oxygen that the poinsettia releases as it takes in [...]

White Knuckle Grip

December 7, 2010

I’m thinking of my Dad this morning.  He turns 85 on Friday.   He’s been talking about this birthday ever since he was 80.  For reasons I don’t understand, his 85th birthday is particularly important to him.  It will be especially sweet to celebrate with him after all he’s been through with the cancer.  I don’t [...]

A Taste

December 6, 2010

“Are you not humanity itself?  Do you not touch all things human, because you are its only Witness?  Do you not therefore love the world, and love all people, and love the Kosmos, because you are its only self?  Do you not weep when one person is hurt, do you not cry when one child [...]

Minor Distractions

December 3, 2010

Ever notice how you get on a good roll and something comes along that derails you?  It doesn’t even have to be something major.  The minor distractions derail me more often.  In fact, I find the minor distractions to be insidious—able to keep my awareness from them, if I’m not careful.  When something major comes [...]

Resisting Now

December 2, 2010

I can’t seem to open myself to the flow this morning. Resistance.  I don’t want to put pen to paper.  The pain and discomfort in my body distract me.  I want to squirm away from it. How can I bring presence to this discomfort?  It is, after all, what is here now.  What if I [...]

Old Baggage

December 1, 2010

I’ve been reading Ken Wilber lately.  His work is impacting me deeply—pulling me forward.  I am compelled.  I am excited.  I also feel the drag of old baggage. Last night, I dreamed that I had finished my last day of high school and was about to graduate.  All that remained was to go through the [...]

Touching the Ground of Being

November 30, 2010

“Let the great search wind down; the self-contraction uncoil in the immediateness of present awareness; let the entire Kosmos rush into your being, since you are its very Ground; you have never moved, and it is all exactly as it should be, when the robin sings on a glorious morning, and raindrops beat on the [...]
