Who is running the show here? Ever ask yourself that question? Wish I could answer it for you, but not certain that I really know myself. I think the most important thing in this quizzical scenario is don’t assume that you know exactly what is happening to you, around you, or within you, because weContinue reading “Don’t Assume”

Reality Challenged
Yesterday for some reason my head was all over the place and suddenly I was recalling a visual scene ‘memory’ from a TV show or a movie, so I watched it vividly replay in my mind; then I stopped and thought, “No, wait…that wasn’t a show or a movie that I saw that in, itContinue reading “Reality Challenged”
It’s Been Strange
Sometimes I wonder what makes this time—this particular age of humanity—any different than other periods. With our own limited-longevity perspectives, it is hard to compare other more distant time periods to our current age. We only have historical inscribed-stone artifacts or scrolls or ancient tomes to review for that comparison, and since we weren’t aroundContinue reading “It’s Been Strange”
Responding to an ‘Initiation’ Crisis
“You never know what you are made of until you must face your greatest fears head-on.” *** Different modalities or belief systems often talk about “initiations” as being the point where a young person is suddenly confronted by the sometimes cruel or grueling complexity of life itself. Many ‘coming of age’ stories talk about anContinue reading “Responding to an ‘Initiation’ Crisis”
Evolution in Action
As an energy empath I can tell you that these solar/cosmic energies coming in now (primarily through August, but also starting out September) are off-the-charts powerful. They are buzzy, frizzly, and electrifying. As they flood throughout my energy field I’m lucky to get 2-3 hours of sleep a night because my body is just sizzlingContinue reading “Evolution in Action”
Cycles and Patterns
The more days that accumulate behind me, the more patterns in my life I can discern. I recognize that like the image above, our life spans flow not in neat straight lines from the moment of birth to our eventual demise, but instead they flow in spirals slowly circling round us like the earthContinue reading “Cycles and Patterns”
The Power Is Within You
Evidently Savonn is in a more expressive philosophical phase lately that aligns closely to my own beliefs. I’ve been following him for a few years, but he hadn’t previously shared these sentiments quite as eloquently as he is doing so currently. And because he is saying it all so well and providing another perspective beyondContinue reading “The Power Is Within You”
Relearning
The new literacy? Maybe in a ‘retraining for a new vocation’ sense, but to ‘learn, unlearn, and relearn’ are actually personal survival skills developed over the years as one faces every new dawn while striving to see the sun peacefully setting at that same day’s end. We all know that life is tough for thoseContinue reading “Relearning”
The Seeker
“I have no right to call myself one who knows. I was one who seeks, and I still am, but I no longer seek in the stars or in books; I’m beginning to hear the teachings of my blood pulsing within me. My story isn’t pleasant, it’s not sweet and harmonious like the invented stories;Continue reading “The Seeker”
How Do You Find TRUTH?
Would you know TRUTH when you see it? Hear it? Feel it? Is TRUTH something that sneaks up on you unaware …then slaps the back of your head to get your attention? At one time or another I’ve questioned nearly every aspect of my life as to why I was experiencing whatever was occurring then.Continue reading “How Do You Find TRUTH?”
When the Music Died
“American Pie,” Don McLean’s song of ‘innocence lost,’ covers an insane decade of ‘coming of age’ in the 1960’s and early 70’s. It was a catchy dirge about busted illusions and the harshness of life beyond its normal performance stage. Shocked with the deaths of Buddy Holly, Richie Valens, and The Big Bopper in oneContinue reading “When the Music Died”
The NOW
“If your mind carries a heavy burden of past, you will experience more of the same. The past perpetuates itself through lack of presence. The quality of your consciousness at this moment is what shapes the future.” – Eckhart Tolle *** You know it’s hard to be a grownup. So many responsibilities—so many choices—so muchContinue reading “The NOW”
