This is How

Life stays possible when we open our hearts and work with what we are given. We do what we can with what we have, loving what’s before us. This is how we mine the gold of each unfolding moment.

Everywhere I Turn

When up close, each thing reveals its shimmer. An unexpected closeness holds everything together. We experience moments that take our breath away. "Where so ere I turn, I see the face of God," coined the sage. STOP! LOOK! AND LISTEN! 

Letting Go; Transformation and Healing

When we know the art of how to suffer, we suffer much less. We’re able to make use of the mud of our suffering to grow lotuses of love and understanding. In transforming our suffering we do so for ourselves, our ancestors and 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 have.

Impermanence: Now is the Time

Thanks to impermanence, everything is possible. Contemplating impermanence helps us touch freedom and happiness in the present moment. The Rev. Kim Brown was our special guest speaker. Her heart and soul always inspire and uplift.

Rest In The Journey

When we stop chasing after the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow we begin to experience the aliveness of the journey. The focus then shifts, from the imagined future scene in the movie of our life to the present scene, here and now. Every step reminds us how to live. The walk is everything.

Rest in the Wholeness of Life

Your true Home, your most profound sense of rest is the Beloved. It was always You. That which you have always sought, throughout all your seeking is alive and awake within you. You as Presence has never come and gone. Could we Rest as That? 

Rest In Not Knowing

When we fall into “not knowing”, we come out of our conclusions and dreams and move into the most curious dance with life. Life becomes filled with possibilities when we let go of the “known” and step into the mystery of our own emergence.

The Art of Happiness

Be happy. Be the container, not the contained; the source, not the destination. Allow others to be happy. Honor the place where they are. Remind them and yourself of the closeness of happiness within. Emerson said, “We can look the whole world over for happiness, but if we don’t carry it within us we will not find it out there.”

The Art Of Not Knowing

Be willing to not know, to stumble sometimes, to bow before the unknown. Let the questions stay awhile; do not try to annihilate them with premature answers. The questions are your intimate friends See the perfect choreography now.
