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 […]

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.

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.

Preparations for our safe travels back to Michigan from our Pine Island Paradise are underway here—packing, deep cleaning, blessing…. this season is like none other. For the first time EVER, we will not visit with our […]

What Endures?

Sunday, March 29, 2020 was the second (and last) day of the Deep Spring Meditation Center virtual retreat with Barbara Brodsky, Aaron, and John Orr. In the afternoon, I went to Galt Nature Preserve for my walking meditation.

This is the latest/driest I have been here in Southwest Florida. The flora I am familiar […]

6 Daily Quarantine Questions

Life is totally interrupted by this COVID-19 mandated safe sheltering/social distancing/self-quarantine. I chose to “attend” a two-day meditation retreat with about 80 others virtually. This virtual Deep Spring Meditation Center retreat with Barbara Brodsky, Aaron, and John Orr is a first…. but, just about everything in the current conditions is UNPRECEDENTED.

During the Q&A […]

Roller Coaster of Emotions

“Whatever happens to me is not nearly so important as the way I look at the happening — the way I feel about it.”

Columbus, Ohio, August 1982, “Little Surrenders,”, Step By Step

My former Yellow Brick Road post ended on a high note, but the circumstances around COVID-19 are stimulating a roller coaster of […]

Cookies

I have been safe sheltering for one week because of the global outbreak of COVID-19.

Today I baked cookies.

I used all of the flour, all of the brown sugar, 4 of the eggs, and almost the last of the butter.

While my action might seem mundane to some, to me […]
