Rest in Peace
It was the last pose in yoga this morning, as always: Savasana: Corps Pose. Our teacher said aloud "rest in peace," and I started to cry. We say this for the dead but how often for the living? As the exterior world continues to show us ourselves, is there a...
How Much Do We Know For SURE??
Here we go again..take sides. Russia/Ukraine, Vaxxed/Not Vaxxed, Palestine/Israel. You've got to take a side and not question anything. It's pretty safe to say the majority of those commenting, posting and virtue signaling have a surface understanding of what has...
Ashley
I have always used writing as a way to figure out the tough questions. I now realize I also use it to sooth-to put my pain somewhere. It is a vehicle for the energy, the emotion to flow through me and out. To give it to God. What else can one possibly do with pain? We...
The AI Art Debate
The end of the world? Or just the beginning? Leave it to silicon valley to create ever more division in the external. The simplistic statement "robots taking over the world" was thought to mean a replacement for repetitive jobs, not the creative mind.I thought I would...

Winter Solstice-Becoming Queen of Your Life
I am reflecting on the beauty of winter in all its forms today. The commercialization and focus on Christmas distracts from this day to connect and celebrate the earth and her gifts in winter. I am also pushed to recognize I have to consciously render an "older"...
The Sacred Circle of Commitment
One of my favorite books is Return of the Bird Tribes by Ken Carey. In it is the story of White Buffalo Calf Woman, the Native American Spirit Goddess. I am rereading that book right now and rediscovering the beauty of her words. Her message reminds us to temper...
Creativity takes Courage
And Energy... To connect to the golden ore of new ideas, passion and vitality, you need to be open and vulnerable and willing to be honest with yourself. Writing is truth. I guess that’s why I’ve avoided it for months. I got covid in October of 2021 and it turned into...
Hawaii with the Homeless
We spent the holidays on a vacation to Oahu. We all had high hopes for what paradise would offer us-warm weather, a dip in the ocean and fresh Polynesian food, all at the top of our list. The last thing I expected from our time there was to be confronted with a very...
Message from your mom:
I love you, I am so proud of the man you’ve become and the family you have created for yourself. But it is time to let go. Let go of the anger that has frozen you for 35 years. You were unable to express the sadness, the anger of losing me so young. And I am sorry. No...
