the path
Paths are meant to be taken. The Path you were meant to take, the one that was defined for you, by you, is always there. You have a free will and are free to choose that path, or any one of an infinite number of paths available to you. You have done this your whole…

the intellectual pursuit
Matters of the Spirit, matters of the heart are not an intellectual exercise. It is a delicate balance between what is out there to be read and what is put into practice and felt. Inevitably the pendulum swings in both directions, never quite settled in the middle. I read a lot, you may also read…

the fog and the feather
I am like everyone else, I have a long way to go. While everlasting peace for you could happen any moment, and often does happen in a moment, we often spend a significant amount of time in between these powerful moments in a state of despair. There is no reason to despair. Time is irrelevant…

a prayer
This very simple prayer was shared with me many years ago, handwritten on a small card. It meant a lot to the person who gave it to me, assuredly it got them through many hard times over the course of a long life. Here it can live on and hopefully give strength to one (or…
