Having lunch in a field one day, I troubled an ant with a question. I asked of him humbly, “Have you ever been to Paris?” And he replied, “No, but I wouldn’t mind going.” And then he asked me if I had ever been to a famous ant city. And I regretted that I hadn’t, – Read More –

CRAZY TALK
Lately I’ve been exploring the concept of “oneness” and what it means. I considered that perhaps we are all different manifestations of the same Spirit having a complete human experience in different bodily forms (at the same time). To expand on that…yesterday, I had an emotion breakdown//breakthrough when I was driving around (a bit lost, – Read More –
LIVING IN HEAVEN
This morning I was inspired by this beautiful photo and reminded that each day we have an opportunity to live in the peace of Heaven…while on Earth.

CREATING STORMS

But a recent cut reminded me of how the body also knows how to heal itself. Without having to do anything more than use an anti-biotic to prevent infection, I watched a cut on – Read More –
FINITE TIME
Today, perhaps because it is a full moon, I have been deeply considering the concept of time. It seems to be part of the human condition to feel we have so much time to do things…follow our dreams, fall in love, have a family, etc. But really, none of the time we feel we have has been promised – Read More –
THE ART OF LETTING GO
While reading What is Tao? by Alan Watts, I was struck by an analogy he made of Taoism/Life to the act of a cat falling from a tree. He makes the point that the cat essentially let’s go of itself . During the act of falling, “the cat becomes completely relaxed and lands lightly on the ground. – Read More –
