Dear Heart

By Debra Basham, on July 14, 2022

Several times yesterday I felt great sadness and compassion for my body. This is likely the result of talking to my primary doctor about what I observe related to blood pressure and heart rate. She said the medications are not causing the things I am observing, so it makes her wonder about my heart. I […]

Moments of Choice

By Debra Basham, on July 11, 2022

If you want to go quickly, go alone. If you want to go far, go together. ~ African proverb

Several weeks ago I saw a coyote pup in the field adjacent to Pilgrim Congregational UCC Church, directly across from our park. I mentioned it in a previous post titled: Coyote Pup and Purposeful Purse Project. […]

Out-flowing – Getting Free (By Setting Others Free)

By Debra Basham, on June 29, 2022

Thought for Today

Imagine a whole world of beings deeply committed to expressing themselves with some kind of beauty, not necessarily physical beauty but beauty of generosity of spirit, of kindness. Imagine a world where this can flourish. Here we have the imaginal cells at work.

So, if we talk about what conditions are […]

Walking in Wonder

By Debra Basham, on June 15, 2022

Neale Donald Walsch’s Conversations with God puts it this way: Life works out in the process of Life Itself. All you have to do is trust that it will, and allow it to.

My blood pressure was 126/80 at the doctor’s office on Monday afternoon. I reported that I am doing deep work with […]

Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist when you grow up.

~ Pablo Picasso

Yesterday was very busy. I did the grocery shopping and had everything put away before John got up. I worked right up to the Sunday morning meditation at 11:00 and was back online at 1:30 […]

Nothing to Attain

By Debra Basham, on June 9, 2022

We are so brief. A one-day dandelion. A seedpod skittering across the ice. We are a feather falling from the wing of a bird. I don’t know why it is given to us to be so mortal and to feel so much. It is a cruel trick, and glorious.

~ Louise Eldrich

We looked at […]

Midnite’s Purple Petunia Plant

From my journal:

Friday, June 3, 2022

Dear Holy Spirit,

I am listening to a podcast by Ram Dass. (Ep. 199: The Continuity of Consciousness)

“Somewhere between not enough and more seems to be enough.”

At least a few moments go by before i have a thought about Joel — that’s progress. I have […]

Safe!!!

By Debra Basham, on June 2, 2022

What happens in your heart when you simply state: “I am Light.”?

You are not trying to convince yourself, but to invite yourself home, to remember your deepest truth: “I am Light!”

Yet, sometimes the mind is so contracted with fear, doubt, anger or greed that the words seem hollow. Then it may […]

Drama Triangle Revisited Again and Again

By Debra Basham, on May 19, 2022

Lately, almost EVERYTHING I read or see or hear or feel reminds me of The Drama Triangle Revisited, one of the more infamous SCS/NLP offerings.

A key awareness of Healing with Language is built on the Drama Triangle, developed by Steve Karpman. The main roles of the Drama Triangle—Victim, Persecutor, and Rescuer—are well-known, but […]

This Day’s Dawn

By Debra Basham, on May 10, 2022

Those who are awake live in a constant state of amazement. ~ Jack Kornfield

This day’s dawn comes on the heels of a dark night. Actually, every day’s dawn does.

Last evening we took John to my primary. She agreed with the medicine list. She encouraged patience and confidence in the specialists he will […]
