All Shall Be Well

November 22, 2018

A few days ago, I had the great joy not only of visiting the cell of Julian of Norwich in England — but also of sharing this experience with a group of old and new friends.

Julian lived in Norwich, England, from 1341 to 1415. She was a mystic, an author, a healer, a spiritual guide to countless seekers. She was canonized by the Catholic Church, and is now known to many as Saint Julian. Visiting her shrine has become a pilgrimage for those who revere this humble and devout woman.

But that’s not why I wanted to visit.

Monster Vitamins: Old Voices or New Choices

April 8, 2018

Studies have shown that 85 - 90% of what we spend our lives fearing NEVER comes to pass.

Let me say that again: The VAST MAJORITY of the things we worry about never transpire.

And yet, we spend inordinate amounts of time worrying about these imaginary disasters. And when we worry, we behave and feel and live like the things we fear ARE going to happen.

Bushwhacking

November 18, 2017

In an effort to kick start my joy practice posts after a few months of hiatus, I rekindled one of last year's joy practices -- going through my photos to see what they needed to tell me. It has been both joy-filled and more laborious than I had hoped. Joy-filled because I loved getting quiet enough to hear what I needed to hear. Laborious because, well, everything is feeling a bit more laborious than I might like these days. This paradoxical experience of my own practice gave me a lot of food for thought about my current state of mind.

When our practices become strained, it is not a sign that we should cease the practice, but rather that we must find new inroads into them as well as clear some clutter in their way.

To live a great story means that we must stop looking to the past for our plots or to the future for our plans. We must stop being afraid of the change we are seeing right here, right now, and recognize instead that our only chance to continue writing stories at all entails the acceptance of what is happening. In fact, realizing that the changes we are seeing are our ONLY chance to live a great story. What we do right now as a planet, what we do right now to help our fellow human beings and our animal neighbors, what we do right now to make different choices in our own lives, these are our only chances to live a great story.

Face Your Fears & Love Again

June 10, 2017

I have always said that I don't like to be scared.

But the truth is that I must have liked it at least a little, because I let myself be too scared to do something I have always loved for 50 years!
