The Reach of Kindness

The Dalai Llama said, “My religion is kindness.”  Kindness is the antidote to everything.  It’s the kindness and wisdom we encounter beyond our fears that bring us together and brings us alive.

Receiving the Gifts of Life

What if in the midst of our troubles, we are given the gift we need?  Every circumstance incubates the soul so it might germinate while we are here.  By entering where we are, thoroughly, we see a way to navigate life by receiving the gifts of life.

Trusting Life to Give Us What We Need

I never stop trusting that life will give me exactly what I need.  It is then my privilege to work with what I have been given.  Reaping the blessings is the art of gratitude and interbeing.

Only the Heart Can Enter

The mind can lead us to the threshold of Wisdom, but only the heart can enter.  The mind weaves meaning like a spider, but only the heart can leap the Stream.  We are given a mind to navigate life, and we are given a heart to be Alive.  (Zen saying)

Coming Home to Coherence

When we reach that place inside of us, our true home, we find that all is well. There is coherence waiting for us to claim it. 

A Lifelong Process

Staying in touch with spirit in us and around us is a full time job. It never ends, becoming a lifelong process for each of us. 

A Conversation with Life

Life ebbs and flows in us and all around us. Let us interact with that which is by having an ongoing conversation with it. 

Endlessly Surprised

Let yourself be surprised. Be an explorer in unknown territory with the wonder and curiosiity of a child. We hear Life say, “Behold! I make all things new!”  We respond, “Yes, we witness You.”

Taking the First Step

The first step is simply to arrive fully in the moment and to allow what is right here and now. With that one step, we enter the open space of pure awareness. This is the step we are always taking.

Here to Be Here

How we give our attention to what’s happening is much more important than the actual things that are happening. Be here now is the law of our life. Be here to BE here.
