Trust Your Own Story

By Debra Basham, on February 26, 2024

Early Saturday morning I woke up dreaming. I knew the symbols were significant so by the light of the digital watch I keep on the nightstand I wrote in my journal:

Dream

Am sliding head-first down a piece of card stock to show a friend she can “trust your own story/writing….”

My scribbled note […]

It is this disinterested but completely allowing contemplation of the body in the world that the body loses its ‘me-ness’ and the world loses its ‘not-me-ness.’ In this way bodily sensations no longer cry out ‘I am separate, I am exclusively you” and perceptions of the world no longer cry out, ‘I am separate, […]

Snow Bird Sees Rare Bird

By Debra Basham, on February 12, 2024

It has possibly been the longest ever period between posts for the Yellow Brick Road…. and I cannot say what has kept my fingers off the keyboard, but this Snow Bird before doing anything else this morning has to write about having seen a rare bird.

The significance of this bird began many years […]

Trust the Magic of Beginnings

By Debra Basham, on January 1, 2024

And suddenly you know: It’s time to start something new and trust the magic of beginnings. ~ Meister Eckhart

Today is the first day of 2024.

Yesterday afternoon I went into a different area on my bike ride. I was only lost between 8.88 miles and 12.22 miles….

Suddenly I knew I had gotten […]

Perfect

By Debra Basham, on November 5, 2023

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 […]

Waning Gibbous Moon

By Debra Basham, on August 21, 2023

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.

~ Lucy Jones posted on Gratefulness.org July 12, 2023

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 […]
