you thought it was someone else
I went to the grocery store with my children, being 4 and 2 it is always a fun experience. The battle of everything they want and should not have, acquiescing here and there. My daughter especially of late is feeling a sense of pride of what she picked out from the store. One of the…

the most significant moments of our lives
One of my favorite films is “Field of Dreams”. The W.P. Kinsella book the film is based off of, “Shoeless Joe”, is a good read. I re-visited it again recently. It is, however, one of the instances where the film surpasses the book. The film is magical and there are a couple key moments where…

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 way
“The Way is The Way is The Way” Think for a moment about all the steps you have taken on your spiritual journey. I would imagine for most of you there have been many “ways.” For some, you may be on your first “way.” For me, it was as an adult and the Catholic Church.…

by invitation only
What is it you are choosing to invite into your life? Not by of our own ultimate choosing, but of our continued active choice we continue to see a world split into two; the world we have always known (what was given to us by God) and the world we have always seen (what we…

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. In my last post I referenced her “The Year of Magical Thinking” which was her exploration of the feelings she had following the passing of her husband John Gregory Dunne, which just so happened to coincide with the critical illness of her daughter Quintana Roo. “Blue Nights”…
