This morning, I was inspired to discuss spirituality in the context of activism on my podcast, “Live Free with Selena Sage” (all podcast platforms or listen/link at anchor.fm/selenasage). I hope this message of Oneness and hope might be a source of inspiration, support, and love for you. I welcome you to share it with others – Read More –

SENSE OF URGENCY
Sometimes it happens that we decide on a course of action and become driven to achieve a certain goal. Outwardly, this determination is not necessarily a bad thing.

ONE MINUTE ZEN: FREEDOM
STAND STILL: REVISITED
Recently, a kind reader of this website came across a quote that I posted in 2014. That quote, “Stand still. The trees ahead and the bush beside you are not lost,” was misattributed to Albert Einstein (the internet is not always a reliable place to source quotes!), so I thank Sara Wright for calling that – Read More –

REST
I have been traveling (around the world) for almost a year straight, and it is hard to put into words what that feels like. While the experiences, people, and places have been great, my body has reminded me of the importance of rest. While I feel the excitement of new things on the horizon, it – Read More –
