turn the page
I watched as they hauled the last of our stuff away. I reminded myself they are just things. “Let us remember this for the next time. All of these things, we are getting rid of” I said to my wife a few days ago. And it is true, we kept what have value to us,…

father’s day
I dropped off my wife and children at the airport this morning. We are at the beginning of our next adventure and they are leading the way, with me to follow. I returned home and experienced unexpected sadness. I will rejoin with them in about a week and a half, and that is sad to…

from the ashes?
Where are you right now? Your Self will meet your self there. So much that surrounds you leads you to believe you are not enough. Your career, your health, your relationships, your financial situation, your knowledge. None of that is true, of course. You are one with the Source, by definition you are all and…

and if i sing you are my voice,
I was going through some things and came across an “old” journal with a passage from January 2017 that contained nothing but the closing from ee cummings “Hate blows a bubble of despair” It is a beautiful line and one that almost assuredly touched me at a time when I was in the early stages…

blue days
Recently, I read “Blue Nights” by Joan Didion.

to have
“to have, give all to all” Joy, forgiveness, gratitude, gentleness, peace, love. These are infinitely abundant, to give away does not imply a loss or a requirement of return to once again be whole. You have more, when you give more. There is a natural connection, a reciprocity we all are searching for. When we…

in your own sweet way
We were married on March 5th, 2020. In any given moment, it feels like it was a moment ago. Ours is a story I wish I had written, yet I am eternally grateful to have lived. At times chaotically challenging to be, but peacefully simple in the now. Before I knew you, I knew there…

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…
