  • Choosing

    I was just in Sedona looking around at all that open space. After spending some time in LA looking at that sky especially the night sky was amazing. I was struck by the people there each equally a tourist whether spiritual ones or not. Sedona is known for its many energy vortexes and large amounts… Read more

  • Closed Doors

    Would you know a closed-door if you were standing in front of it? What about the closed doors in your mind? And the doors that are closed, did you close them or were they closed for you? One of the big spiritual lessons is waiting, patience and all of that stuff us humans love to… Read more

  • So sick but not any more

    There is one consolation in being sick; and that is the possibility that you may recover to a better state than you were ever in before. Henry David Thoreau After an intense time of emotional upheavals one can hit a wall. I hit mine on my way to LA and promptly got sick. As I… Read more

  • Stuck in a mind trap

    This image says a lot about what has been going on within my mind lately. I have made a mistake because I have been lost in a mind trap. A trap of my own making. Keeping my focus on my son for the last few months has moved my thinking mind away from my own… Read more

  • Old shirt new shirt

  • Stand up

    I am sitting in another town trying to decide on the turn I feel coming up on my path. Most of my adult life if I change my driver’s license to match my address I will move soon after that. This last time I didn’t even think about it until I got my new license… Read more

  • Get a new perspective

    As humans we are very caught up in our human-ness. When I talk to people and they are explaining what is wrong, what’s going on, or who it is that they are blaming for their current issue, I hear nothing but limited thinking. When you get so stuck in your small world problems and the… Read more
