Every year ministers, pastors, priests and the like spend time working on a talk for Easter Sunday, which seems like it wouldn’t be a big deal, right? I mean the story is already written, what’s to think about? Well for me, there is plenty to think about. Throughout my life Easter has evolved from the [...]

Paradoxes of Peace: Individual and Community

By |2018-02-09T19:26:32-06:00February 6th, 2014|Community, Consciousness, Evolution, Interconnected, Paradox, Transformation|

Peace is one of those seemingly intangible, shape-shifting things in life, such as love, that molds our lives so intensely. It’s not necessarily something I can hold in my hand or perhaps physically give to you, and there are no words to adequately define the experience or even give a “correct” definition. Yet it is the [...]

And It Was Good

By |2018-02-09T19:26:32-06:00January 10th, 2014|Beginnings, Consciousness, Evolution, God, Greater Reality, Interconnected, Transformation|

Far back into the unknowable past, even before the beginning, stretching out into the incomprehensible, unfathomable depths, dark and void of infinite eternity behind and beyond all history, the Christpower was alive. This was the living, pulsing, generating, creating, smoldering, exploding, fusing, multiplying, emerging, heating and cooling power of life itself: Christpower. And it was [...]

There Are Many “Onenesses”

By |2018-02-09T19:26:32-06:00June 27th, 2013|Consciousness, Evolution, God, Interconnected, Self Reflection|

Everywhere I look there are TV shows, articles, pictures, poems, reflections and pithy aphorisms about "oneness." If I didn't know better I would think we were hungry, or even starving, to know what "oneness" is, how to experience, capture it and celebrate it. We want everyone to know this "oneness" because I think we all [...]

I Want to Add to the Beauty

By |2013-04-25T15:13:37-05:00April 24th, 2013|Consciousness, Evolution, Greater Reality, Shadow Work|

Yesterday a friend said to me, “Your scars won’t matter as he falls in love with the beauty that you are.” It took me by surprise, because it was a laser sharp message that instantaneously spoke to so much more than I could have ever imagined. It forced me to make peace with what I [...]

Eternity in a Snowflake

“To see a world in a grain of sand, And a heaven in a wild flower, Hold infinity in the palm of your hand, And eternity in an hour.” -William Blake Whenever there has been a snowstorm I love to awaken early and sit quietly looking out the window at a world of white that [...]

A Mythical Christmas: The Gifts of the Magi

By |2018-02-09T19:26:33-06:00December 13th, 2012|Beginnings, Christianity, Consciousness, Evolution, God, Jesus, Religion, Shadow Work|

Some of my favorite characters from the Christmas story are the wise men. Even though I know the stories aren’t historically true, I love that each character represents a part of me. As I have mentioned in the previous two articles, the narratives we have for the birth of Jesus are found in two of [...]

A Mythical Christmas: Let There Be Light

By |2018-02-09T19:26:33-06:00December 6th, 2012|Beginnings, Christianity, Consciousness, Evolution, God, Jesus, Religion, Shadow Work|

The other day I was talking with a friend who lives in Germany. It was already nightfall for her and she was sharing with me the beauty of their first snowfall this season. She described the scene outside her window with such clarity, that I couldn't help but close my eyes and imagine it for [...]

A Mythical Christmas: In The Beginning

By |2018-02-09T19:26:33-06:00December 3rd, 2012|Beginnings, Christianity, Evolution, Jesus, Religion, Transformation|

Christmas holds a special place in my heart, not because of any religion or theological beliefs, but mostly because it was my dad’s favorite holiday and because it’s a time of year for many family traditions and rituals to be played out. Every year we know the traditional frustration of hanging lights on the house [...]

The last time I wrote anything political was… Oh, I remember, NEVER. The world of politics is not something I have ever felt comfortable with probably because I get overwhelmed with ALL the information, statistics, rhetoric, facts, ideologies, opinions and basic filibustering that goes on. Not to mention the routine candidate bashing that ensues, regardless [...]
