The ten bazillion, jillion questions…
I’m curious… Why do so many of us humans wear knowing-ness like a shield? How come we often choose a stance of already knowing? What makes us so anxious to claim we know – when we really don’t?

A fervent conversation with God – At a Crossroad
At a powerful crossroad On the outside my life looked wonderful. Successful. Together. Abundant. On the inside the careful life I had created was unraveling. My family was in turmoil.

You must be willing to set aside every single one …
Holy Longing
You think what you do must be brilliant. Ordinary is just fine. Every-day is good. There is nothing to strive for. No “where” to arrive to. This moment is everything. Let yourself sink into the depths of your being – the Love that you are. Let quiet Mercy enfold you. Let yourself rest in that today, dear one. Allow tears …
Not Your Job
Let go of trying to order the world. It quite simply is not your job. Your job is to come into alignment with this moment, with the gifts and wisdom available here.
