Through the Darkness

Start where you are, use what you have, do what you can.

~ Arthur Ashe

I am tempted to schedule this to post so readers don’t know that I have my fingers on the keyboard at 4:21 am while on retreat. If I were not retreating via Zoom because of COVID-19, I would not […]

Ageless in this Moment

This week is the anniversary of my mom’s transition. May 20 is also the date Ursel, the former owner of our home, passed, as well as the date Ursel purchased the home 33 years earlier. Both Ursel and my mom had their funeral/celebration of life on May 23. (See the Sacred Story: May 20).

The Bud’s Undoing

“I wish it need not have happened in my time,” said Frodo.

“So do I,” said Gandalf, “and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.”

― J.R.R. Tolkien, The […]

Make May Day a Mask Day

Today is May Day. It is a day to hang flowers on the door of someone you love. In 1886, more than 300,000 workers walked off their jobs demanding 13,000 businesses honor an 8-hour work day on May Day.

We know the value of doing something that benefits another. And we value doing what […]

Emerald Isle Musings

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 […]

A Bird in the Hand

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. The lines are blurry at this retreat. It is being held on ZOOM and people are […]

Spring Snow Showers

April…. So unstable.

Spring snow showers visit again.

Mourning doves puff up as they sit on the white-blanketed ground.

Hunkered down, they seem to know this is not a time to search.

The sun and warmth will return. Most likely, sooner rather than later.

Another friend hospitalized with the virus. […]

Staycation

I have now been in self-isolation for one month and one day. Earlier today the term “stayca” popped into mind. It is a period in which an individual or family stays home and participates in leisure activities within driving distance of their home and does not require overnight accommodations. The term is short for “staycation.”

Nothing is not the Divine

“Lightworkers, you are not politicians, you are not and it is not up to you to reveal lies or march in the streets and point out the wrong things.

The Soul Journey right now says that you are here to be compassionate with those who are scared of lies and diseases or any other […]

Homeward Bound

Today latex gloves and a stylish face cover have come forth.

We are prepared….

I feel bathed in prayer and love.

Mary Jo Bulbrook sent a message about meditating at the precise moment of the Jupiter/Pluto conjunction which is 10:45 pm on Saturday, April 4, 2020 (Eastern Standard Time.)

The last […]
