I am blessed to be part of two writers’ groups, and one of the precious gifts of winter for me is that I take more time to write. Do you notice how seemingly unconnected things are not? For example, this morning people all over the U.S. got up early enough to see if they could […] Each year I enjoy some ritual on my birthday. Yesterday afternoon I still did not know what that was to be. Riding to the birthday celebration of our 85 year old friend, I learned of a marvelous exercise called “Corpse Prayer.” It comes from Jarem Sawatsky’s book, Dancing with the Elephants: Mindfulness Training For Those […] Listening to the wind blowing, thoughts come to mind of how relative our perspective is. A prime example of that is weather. Bundled up out for a walk, Floridians see Michiganders riding bikes in shirt sleeves. Americans look into a brimming pantry complaining about nothing to eat. “No Ordinary Face” was first shared […] As a writer, generating material is as easy as paying attention to the burr beneath your saddle.

One gift I received was enjoying lunch out with Jane Foster. Jane had 22 malignant tumors on her liver when her surgeon closed her up in 1999 and told her he could not keep cutting on her. He said she […] Some of us are fond of saying “the devil made me do it” when we’ve done something we’re not too proud of. We might as well say “the ego made me do it” because the ego is our own personal “devil.” In God’s Care by Karen Casey I certainly experienced that devilish […] I am breathing myself into the present moment as I wait further news of the journey of my nephew, David. This morning something happened at the house in Allegan and he may not be staying there after tomorrow. He already has permission to go back to the Mission in Holland where he knows he will […] |
