Perfect

We gained an hour last night here in most of the United States. What an odd concept, that we can lose or gain time….

Gain and loss…. part of the Eight Worldly Winds. It is written that gain obsesses the mind, and loss obsesses the mind. We are attracted to gain and repelled by […]

An Experience of Grace

By Debra Basham, on September 12, 2023

Wowser, it has been a wonder-filled day. Six women were present for deep sharing following the 6:30 a.m. meditation. Three of those women I have known previously, two are new friends.

Right afterwards I scored a Royal Flush and earned a whopping 5,000 points on the poker machine in our guest bath. In the […]

I was restless at bedtime last night. It had been a pleasant day but late in the evening I got a text from a friend who had ended up at the ER over the weekend, John’s bedtime blood pressure reading was a bit elevated, and I read an email from a person who is asking […]

Our Real Power

By Debra Basham, on August 4, 2023

We cannot forget that our real power is not necessarily to change the world, but to make a world of change to the people we encounter every day. ~ Cory Booker

Last Thursday morning while I was out on a bike ride I got a call from a friend here in the park, “I have […]

Radical Noticing

By Debra Basham, on July 12, 2023

How do we see the world as sacred again? By radical noticing. Looking for awe in all of life.

Yesterday riding my bike I was inundated by awareness of the propensity to criticism. John’s clothes, the way someone says something, the decadent use of disposable bottles […]

Karma and Forgiveness

By Debra Basham, on June 12, 2023

We crave that deep place within that cannot be touched by the ups and downs of life, but rather just IS – connected and whole.

~ Katie Rubinstein

For well over twenty years I have been working with a Karmic stream from a lucid past life. I will tell it like a fictional story so […]

The Theme of Home

By Debra Basham, on June 10, 2023

I was on retreat and up quite early one morning and I wanted to share so I let myself enjoy the bliss of fingers on the keyboard. I am now home and sending this.

Stacey and John drove out with me on Friday evening so they could see where I would be for the week. […]

Walking Each Other Home

By Debra Basham, on May 24, 2023

“…we might almost say silence is the tribute we pay to holiness; we slip off words when we enter a sacred space, just as we slip off shoes. A ‘moment of silence’ is the highest honor we can pay someone; it is the point at which the mind stops and something else takes over (words […]

I Love You, Daddy!

By Debra Basham, on May 7, 2023

Today is my dad’s re-birth day. Daddy had a fatal heart attack while rototilling his garden on May 7, 1992. He had pulled his old truck up to the edge of the garden and would do one row down-and-back, then sit in the truck to rest a bit before doing the next row. I think […]

The Birds Still Sing

By Debra Basham, on April 17, 2023

We wake up to snow flurries this morning…. so grateful one week ago today we arrived home in Michigan in gorgeous sunshine. We had beautiful warm, sunny days all week. Until yesterday…. and now snow today. But the birds still sing!

Yesterday John and I went to St. John UCC in New Buffalo where I […]
