DEALING WITH LOSS
After going to sleep a bit too early, I was up at 3am this morning browsing the internet…in yet another hotel room (oh the travel life!). Around 4am, I was guided to this Byron Katie video of a mother trying to Work through the loss of her daughter. For a moment, I thought it might – Read More –

EVERYTHING IS HAPPENING FOR YOUR HIGHEST GOOD

LIFE IS IN THIS MOMENT
“I don’t live in either my past or my future. I’m interested only in the present. If you can concentrate always on the present, you’ll be a happy man.

SEVENTY-SEVEN
How funny that I should find this Lao-tzu teaching a few days after writing theSacred Field post….. :) Humanity grows more and more intelligent, yet there is clearly more trouble and less happiness daily.
