I am on retreat, and am living the spirit of the law (rather than the letter of the law) by writing a blog post. This intensive / retreat is the culmination of a two-year “Path of […]
By Debra Basham, on June 9, 2020 I sincerely hope there is not a limit on the frequency of blog posts, as my process is being jarred profoundly by EVERYTHING.
This morning I saw Facebook photos of Stacey (my daughter) and her friend on the pontoon boat on Sunday. Beautiful smiling faces, cheek-to-cheek, looking into the camera: I instantly became aware […]
By Debra Basham, on June 6, 2020 This early morning is so quiet…. in the stillness of this moment I am feeling the dawn and I am keenly aware of the possibilities alive in this moment.
A melody awakened in my mind as I sat, and I let the stillness be enhanced by listening to a song I know well, by […]
By Debra Basham, on May 31, 2020 What do you see? When you look at the world, what do you see? This is not a frivolous question, and it may be one of the most vital choices you make for yourself and our world.

“At This Time”
Right now, where you are, are you aware?

My friend, Kathy, lost her husband on January 18, 2020. She had been his care-giver. Their home was visited almost daily by friends and […]
By Debra Basham, on April 25, 2020 WORD FOR THE DAY
We did not ask for this room or this music; we were invited in.
Therefore, because the dark surrounds us, let us turn our faces toward the light.
Let us endure hardship to be grateful for plenty…
We did not ask for this room or this music.
But […]
By Debra Basham, on April 23, 2020 Up way before the first bird sings a song of the light soon coming, I wonder if it is breaking the noble silence to have my fingers on the keyboard writing to you while I am still on retreat.
