Letting Go: Transformation and Healing

When we know there of how to suffer, we suffer much less.  We are able to make use of the mud of our suffering to grow lotuses of love and understanding.  In transforming our suffering we do this for ourselves, our ancestors and our descendants.

Non-Craving: You Have Enough

As soon as we realize that in this very moment we already have enough, and we already are enough, true happiness becomes possible. Instead of craving for what we don’t have we are grateful and fulfilled in what we do.

Impermanence: Now is the Time

Thanks to impermanence, everything is possible.  Contemplating impermanence helps us touch freedom and happiness in the present moment.

The Wonder of Inter-Being

“To be is always to “inter-be”. We “inter-are” with one another and with all life. Like the flower we are full of life’s element, earth, rain and sunshine.

The whole cosmos is present in one little flower. It is empty of a separate existence and full of everything.

The Wonder of Clearings and Renewal

Emerson tells us “Only the coming is sacred.”  Jesus says, “Behold, I make all things new.”  Could we let go of what no longer serves us?
It’s time to be transformed by the renewing of our mind and heart.

The Wonder of Insight

When we look within, we discover the authentic truth that uncovers itself as “insight”.  These "aha" moments are often surprising and yet revealing.
Let us pay attention and discover anew the light and love.

The Wonder of Wonders

Erika Luckett sang, “If we’re not in awe, we’re not paying attention.”  Could we be fascinated with life?  Could we look and learn and practice deep listening?  Curiosity becomes sacred as we unveil the beauty that is all around us and within us.

The Wonder of Relationships

Rumi tells us, “We need each other to walk each other home.”  Let us explore the intimacy of belonging to all our relations.

A Whole New World

Things that matter take time to root and meaning takes time to blossom.  Though we forget, time is a garden in which each of us is a seed breaking surface eternally being born.

The Great Opening

We are authentically ourselves when we are open to what is.  We taste life as it is served to us, receiving the nourishment from the bitter and the sweet. In the great opening our heart is readied to receive.
