Every. Single. Nano-Particle.

January 12, 2012

Travelling.   Teaching.   Thinking. Taking it all in. Turning everything over. Endeavouring to see with deeper, clearer eyes. This has been my journey as I’ve navigated the transition of one year, one cycle, one moment as it ends and the next begins. Along the way… I have promised myself that I will slow down and [...]

The Gift of Impatience

December 29, 2011

As unready, on many levels as I feel, the undeniable fact is, this year is swiftly winding to an end. In just a few days we will wrap up 2011 and move into 2012. Here are a few of my last thoughts, as we close the door. The week before Christmas, I cleared my schedule. [...]

Dreaming In the Dark

December 21, 2011

In the ever changing constant, that is the turning of the year, the Solstices are the farthest point in the arc of the pendulum at either end. Winter Solstice is the longest night. A demarcation line, one year moving naturally into another. Winter is the time of dreaming in the dark. The journey inward to [...]

What’s the Big Deal?

November 28, 2011

It Happens Three Times a Year. From our vantage point here on Earth, Mercury, the planet that rules communication and travel, the planet that is closest to earth and moves the quickest, slows to a stop and appears to move backward. We call this Mercury retrograde. We’re experiencing it right now. So, what IS the [...]

Pure Creative Potential

November 23, 2011

More than twenty years ago, on Thanksgiving day, I was taught to perform a version of a Native American Ceremony, called the Corn Bowl, by my teacher, Grandmother Bernice Falling Leaves, the leader of the medicine lodge I belonged to. There were almost forty of us at the Thanksgiving dinner table that year. There was [...]

Just Let It In

November 13, 2011

Telling the truth is powerful beyond measure. Acknowledging what’s so, frees us from the endless tyranny of defense. The unsolvable, irresolvable dilemma of right and wrong. Good and bad. Acknowledging what IS has the power to calm the mind and still the heart. It can free us to choose. It opens the horizon of our [...]

Focus On What You Love

October 30, 2011

Let what you love bring you back to center. Let love call you home, to your own sweet self. Let it pull you down, deeper and deeper. Let it drown you in its beauty. Its sweetness. Let it lift you up and carry you back to yourelf. To that still quiet place deep, deep inside. Let it [...]

Taking a Break From Fear and Overwhelm

October 5, 2011

We are in times of big change. Personally. Seasonally. Nationally. Globally. I don’t really need to tell you this, do I? All anyone has to do is look at politics, the economy, our ecology or at all the 2012, end-of-the-world craziness, and immediately it can be difficult NOT to feel tendrils of apprehension, fear and [...]

Grace, Beauty and Juicy, Ripe Sweetness

September 21, 2011

September is a month of big transitions. “Not yet! I’m not ready!” I can feel myself begin to brace for something. My shoulders and diaphragm tighten. My breathing shallows. My muscles tense. My mind propels me completely out of my body. Out into some imagined future. Bracing for something that is not even here, yet. [...]

Come In From the Storm

September 7, 2011

We begin in the center. As humans we create and project out into the world to see where, who and what we are. It’s like the barometer on the wall that forecasts the immanent weather. We decorate our homes so we can know ourselves. We have relationships and engage with others so we can get [...]
