Hand-in-Hand

By Debra Basham, on April 13, 2021

With all that takes place in our lives, it can sometimes be easy to overlook the fact that we’re part of something greater than ourselves — a collective consciousness, the Universe, a greater cause.

Muy agradecida. Muy agradecido.

How can I wish for myself what I do not wish for everybody, including those I think of as my worst enemies?

Another drive across the state of Florida, this time for our second vaccine, and this time we know where we are going. We are going to an ALL Spanish-speaking pharmacy near […]

A Dios Mio

By Debra Basham, on March 4, 2021

Imagine our surprise to realize we had arrived at an ALL (perhaps I should say ONLY) Spanish-speaking pharmacy for our first covid vaccine in Hialeah, Florida, on Monday….

I would be lying if I said I was not nervous.

Hell, I was nervous before we drove across the state of Florida.

Seeing […]

We are all volunteers, come to awaken ourselves and all human beings. ~ Aaron

A pithy line from the story of Joseph and his coat of many colors in the Hebrew Old Testament has been working on my heart. The story is familiar to many: Joseph, the youngest son and his father’s favorite, was given […]

Deep Spring Center Thought for Today December 31, 2020

When painful emotions arise, then they think, ‘I am no longer being spiritual. I […]

LOVE Came Down at Christmas

By Debra Basham, on December 25, 2020

I am grateful John and I had a practice run at not being physically with Stacey and her family for Christmas in 2019.

Last year we attended a Christmas Day potluck at Pine Island Cove with Michigan friends, Linda and Fred, who also winter here in Florida.

This year, John and I share our […]

Two Wings of Mindfulness

Deep Spring Center Thought for Today

Poetry – Brandon Leake’s Got Talent!

~Norman O. Brown
