Ideas & such
One of the greatest & most motivating things is to know, deep inside, that each of us can make great things happen. Even better, we don’t have to do it all at once…it’s a step by step journey, and each step, not matter how small, is part of what gets us there. Sharing starts here.…
I would like to beg you dear Sir, as well as I can, to have patience with everything unresolved in your heart and to try to love the questions themselves as if they were locked rooms or books written in a very foreign language. Don’t search for the answers, which could not be given to…
I think this is a little nutshell sharing of how you think you’re doing one thing – in this case, doing a portrait photo shoot – and getting different results, because different people, different stories, and different perspectives are involved.
Back in the days when I taught language arts, the kids & I would read the story of Icarus. You know the story (in a nutshell): Often depicted in art, Icarus and his father attempt to escape from Crete by means of wings that his father constructed from feathers and wax. Icarus’s father warns him…
Silent friend of many distances, feel how your breath enlarges all of space. Let your presence ring out like a bell into the night. What feeds upon your face grows mighty from the nourishment thus offered. Move through transformation, out and in. What is the deepest loss that you have suffered? If drinking is bitter,…
All things in this creation exist within you, and all things in you exist in creation; there is no border between you and the closest things, and there is no distance between you and the farthest things, and all things, from the lowest to the loftiest, from the smallest to the greatest, are within you…
WHAT WOULD HAPPEN…? What would happen if you removed the word ‘anxious’ and just paid attention to these flickering sensations in the belly? What would happen if you took away the concept ‘lonely’ and simply became fascinated with this heavy feeling in the heart area? What would happen if you deleted the image ‘sick’ or…
One of my favorite quotes from the Buddha is: “Let us rise up and be thankful, for if we didn’t learn a lot today, at least we learned a little, and if we didn’t learn a little, at least we didn’t get sick, and if we got sick, at least we didn’t die; so, let…
As people say in Canada, this is the week of American Thanksgiving (instead of October’s version), but any day, it’s as good time as any to give thanks, and feel the warm glow of gratitude. I hope you have a good week, no matter where you are. And I just wanted to let you know it makes…
People are looking for the answer. In churches, in books, in relationships, in jobs, in money (and sometimes, no money, if you have a vow of poverty.) Any amount of looking is tiring work, I think, unless you have your own house in order, inside. Liz speaks to that, here: You and me both, dear…
He says it’s not political. It’s not religious. But it is our job. His Holiness the Dalai Lama is sounding the warning bell for the health of the planet. We need a groundswell of support for climate action for the Roof of the World as world leaders gather in Paris. More detail info at http://tibet.net/COP21
Wayne Dyer, on Being the Peace Peace isn’t something you ultimately receive when you slow down the pace of your life. Peace is what you’re capable of being and bringing to every encounter and event in the waking moments of your life. Being peaceful is an inner attitude that you can enjoy when you’ve learned…
Some days we have dying on the brain, don’t we? Maybe we have a friend or cousin or grandma who is nearing their time of transition, and we get to hang out with them. Sometimes we’re surprised, with a car wreck, or a heart attack, or “the news” that we’re gonna die. Sometimes we don’t…
Like many folks, I’m still getting used to the idea that Dr. Wayne Dyer made his transition this morning. Gotta say, I’m happy for him as he moves on to the next round, and I’m happy that I got the chance to learn from him in his time here. Out of a bunch of online…
