The Light In The Gutter
September 14, 2026 When you become aware and surrender to truth that the gutter is there to carry away the garbage and debris for you and is not a permanent state of punishment, then tiny messages of Light and Love will appear in your life (like this one) to confirm that you are close to arriving home.

Birds On A Wire
September 8, 2026 · Birds On A Wire This image I captured while I was walking really caught my attention. I was thinking about the birds being free and yet perched in this tangled labyrinth. Perhaps there is safety in all of these wires, perhaps they didn’t have a choice for a secure place to rest at night. As I walked home, the phrase “birds on a wire” came to my mind like an abrupt telephone call and so I looked it up. When I read what it meant, I realized how significant

I Went Into The Woods
August 18, 2026 · I Went Into The Woods I went into the woods to be in silence, and I heard the silent cacophony of truth. I went into the woods to feel the beauty there, and I felt the beauty that has always been within me. I went into the woods to embrace Nature, and it was she who embraced me beyond my physicality. I went into the woods to listen, and my heart overflowed with song. I went into the woods to see, and vision, beyond my eyes, came upon me. I went into the wood

A Love Message
July 5, 2026 Sending a love message to all my fellow human beings, Those who see me and those who cannot, Those who feel me and those who will not, Those who know me and those who think they do. I make no differentiation of friend or foe because, in truth, there is neither in existence. Just a temporary interpretation. Information collected, mixed with our own internal emotional chemistry, leading to an unknowing certainty. So I release what I "know" to see and feel with Gr

You Cannot Truly Rise
April 17, 2026 · You cannot truly rise and lead in your life, you cannot fully live and love in your life, until you have fallen deep, deep, deep to the very bottom of your shadows. And in it, if you are not absolutely certain that this is your death, you are not at the bottom. Go deeper. And then deeper still. You may lose your mind. This is a good sign my friend. It is dark in your very depths, the darkest you will ever experience. It feels like complete consumption of sel

Can You See Me
March 29, 2026 · Can You See Me? The Persona that dances and distracts very loudly and incessantly? The Bravado that attempts to cover up all the emptiness? The Wounded self that defends in fear, frustration and anger, mirroring and repeating the anger that it was born into with no defenses? Or the Heart that has remained true from its beginning, quietly waiting for the time that it can be seen and heard and felt. This Heart patiently holds the space before ever speaking so n

When You Are Still
March 25, 2026 · When you are still and fully present, truth arrives quietly and clearly In front of your eyes when you can see. Into your ears when you can hear. Within your mind when you can let go of what you know. And in your Heart when you remember who you are.

A Quiet Snow
March 22, 2026 · A Quiet Snow Soft and light and silent you fall, some of you in unison, some of you in your own time. Each one of you a miracle of uniqueness, carrying messages in your geometry that we don’t have the translation for yet. Falling to Earth so effortlessly and quietly, you land next to each other and on top of each other without complaint. Waiting quietly in the microscopic matrix squeezing closer and closer to each other. Your silence only broken by the crunc

Oh Haloed Moon
December 5, 2025 · Oh Haloed Moon, how you hold me this morning Like a beacon from the great Mother reminding us, in even the most darkest times, the Light is still there Like the circle that surrounds you so we too are contained and held in Light But not in a confined way In the most expansive way possible understood by our human mind The lapping of your waters on the shore softens my nervous system A cool wind slides across my body like the soft touch of your love. And so t

Thank You
November 18, 2025 · Thank you for this peace I feel even as I sense the wounds nipping at my heel all the while knowing they're not real. They consume and divide my resource if I see them, not for what they are but for what they are not and this unknowing is the only course to take on the way to wholeness. My delight in the discovery of self gives me the strength to take all things I no longer need from the shelf inside me and plant them deep in the ground so when I feel lost

Are You A Bison or A Cow
November 13, 2025 · Are you a Bison or a Cow? This is a well know story that speaks so truly to me. I write it for you and I write it for me. When there is a storm approaching, cows sense it and begin to run away with the herd but they are never faster than the storm. Eventually the storm catches them and they end up running with the storm, which prolongs the suffering they were trying to avoid. The Bison also sense the storm, but instinctually and uncommonly they face the st

May 24, 2023 · I am interested. Even more than what you ate at a nice restaurant, I’m interested in what you consume for your mind and your heart. Even more than the beautiful places in this world that you visited on your trip, I am interested in the journey that you take within yourself and what discoveries you have. Even more than your political views, I am interested in how you see your fellow human being who shares this Earth and life with you. Even more than your (perfec

I Am A Cooking Pot
June 29, 2022 · I am a cooking pot… who receives ingredients which I am inspired to add to my creation... my life. Another name for this cooking pot is called the mind. Thus my thoughts, my beliefs, my perspective, my actions and my words all come from this collection of flavours, textures and colours, blended together and allowed to cook through out my life. There were many times when I permitted, or was forced, to add ingredients to my pot which did not taste, feel or look

Reaching Out, Reaching In
February 3, 2022 · Reaching Out Reaching In One connection is busy, one connection, not used. I reach out to my family, They do not understand my call. I reach out to friends, They are busy in their own world. I reach out to acquaintances, They don’t know who I am. I reach out to God, who is listening but not talking. Silence. All signs point inward as I search outward. Navigating by my will and not by what is clearly presented to me. Why do I hesitate to Reach In? I skirt ar

This is not a soundbite
January 14, 2021 · This is not a soundbite, so if you know me and you’re interested, please keep reading. Welcome to 2021. The physical isolation in 2020 and the grinding to a halt of our normal busy lives has given me the opportunity and choice to press a reset button on my life and create something new, something life-affirming. The year 2020, like the numbers, indicate, offered to me the clearest vision of my life. Seeing what was good and important as well as what were a
