Come together

Posted on October 18, 2015 By

Ever feel alone in this World? Like you just don’t belong? Ever feel the need for confirmation of your intuition or higher knowledge? No matter how “in-tune” we might be, there are times when we doubt the wisdom of our higher selves… we find ourselves doubting those subtle little messages from our intuition… and we…


The Stillness Within

Posted on October 16, 2015 By

There is a place deep inside each of us that is absolutely still. Do you feel it? Have you ever? Sit comfortably and breathe with me, focusing only on your breath and these words… take a long, slow, intentional breath. Hold it for a moment, and feel it flow through to your lungs, bringing life…


Try so hard

Posted on October 15, 2015 By

Humans try so hard to understand the Light, we forget that we ARE the Light. We try so hard, but by trying so hard, our understanding, our logic, our ego, gets in the way of truly understanding. Regardless of our attempts to keep ego at bay, to keep it from coloring our perception and understanding…


Signs and Portents

Posted on October 14, 2015 By

When walking around the neighborhood, I’ll often see feathers lying on the ground. A couple times, they’ve even floated from the skies, landing directly in my path. I take these feathers as a “sign” – as a reminder of my Divine side – as a reminder that there is more to our physicality than just…


Who Rules the Roost?

Posted on October 13, 2015 By

Sometimes, we may find ourselves doubting or even laughing outright at a concept or an ideal put before us for consideration.

Cynicism -an expression of ego based on personal frustrations, doubt, and a…


Silence within the Noise

Posted on October 12, 2015 By

Noise. All the noise. Everywhere. There’s somebody cutting their lawn, another neighbor pressure washing something, down the block there are trees being trimmed, there’s the inevitable traffic noises reaching our ears from the nearby roadway… some rock music appears randomly… maybe shreds of the announcements from a local school for their at-home game are carried…


Chop Wood, Carry Water

Posted on October 10, 2015 By

There’s an old Zen saying that goes something like this… Before Enlightenment, Chop wood, carry water. After Enlightenment, Chop wood, carry water. Now granted, the wording is perhaps a little outdated for most of us (a modern equivalent might be “Before Enlightenment, chop vegetables, do laundry… After Enlightenment, chop vegetables, do laundry”) but the point…


A bit dusty

Posted on October 9, 2015 By

*Blows the dust off* Well hello once more, friends! Yes, the Mystical One is making a reappearance… blowing the dust off, sweeping the cobwebs out of the corners, updating the site’s look a little bit… that kind of thing. It has been six years –to the day!!– since my last post – and I’m sorry…
