By Debra Basham, on June 6, 2020 This early morning is so quiet…. in the stillness of this moment I am feeling the dawn and I am keenly aware of the possibilities alive in this moment.
A melody awakened in my mind as I sat, and I let the stillness be enhanced by listening to a song I know well, by […]
By Debra Basham, on May 31, 2020 What do you see? When you look at the world, what do you see? This is not a frivolous question, and it may be one of the most vital choices you make for yourself and our world.
This morning the Buddhist group that gathered for meditation via ZOOM spoke of the violence that had […]

“At This Time”
Right now, where you are, are you aware?
Breathe in and feel connection to all you love

By Debra Basham, on May 18, 2020 When you are in complete alignment with your authentic self, you will attract everything you desire in life. ~Brahma Kumaris

By Debra Basham, on May 9, 2020 I had some text exchange with my firstborn grandchild, Brad, sharing emotional reactions and perceptions of the current conditions. Some we love dearly entertain the notion that COVID-19 is a conspiracy. I shared with him a recent writing:
Daily Doula Duty
My book, I Learned Everything I Needed to Know About Life Working as a […]

By Debra Basham, on April 25, 2020 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 […]
By Debra Basham, on April 23, 2020 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 […]

I grabbed this image from a Zen practitioner. Have you ever wondered what makes someone decide to make a commitment to something like Zen? For the most part, we want to be the best we can be.
Today has been a productive day.
I got so much done, I have energy to […]
By Debra Basham, on November 23, 2019 I was writing in my journal how it seems otherworldly that we don’t plan to be back here in our Michigan home until April 6. As I write the question,”What would you have me know?” I hear in my head:
