Abundance is everywhere around us and within us. God has created this world with everything we need to live life abundantly. Our hearts are overflowing with love, kindness, generousity, joy and peace–unless we have hardened them and cut ourselves off from the source of all life and love. The world is overflowing with all the […]
Late summer day. Sun shining beautifully on the trees. Dead cardinal lying on my deck. Flowers in bloom. Some plants beginning to fade. Grass needs mowing. Life happens all around us, in us. We are part of the endless cycle of life and death. Our fate is connected to the fate of every other creature […]
How does one live life? One day at a time. The past is over and gone. The future is not yet. Here we are in the present. It’s really all we ever have. Yet so many people squander the present by lamenting over the past, reminising about the glory days, worrying about what’s going to […]
How does one crying in the wilderness get heard today? By blogging and maintaining a website? Being a voice of dissent, iconoclastic views and alternative realities does not make one real popular. Does one sell out, conform and try to fit in or live with integrity? At this point in my life, I think it’s […]
Just be your self. Be natural. Whoa! Who knows how to do that? We’re so condititioned from childhood that we forget who we really are. Many go to their grave not knowing who they are. Are you seeking? Are you trying to realize who you really are? You should be. Don’t allow yourself to be […]

Global economy, jobs going […]
Erotic love is one of the best ways to share love between two persons in this world. Done in the right consciousness, it can be a spiritual experience mirroring the love of God/Goddess and devotee. It’s a shame Christianity has done so much to defile erotic love in the minds of so many persons. Yet […]
Yes. We live in some very messed up troubled times. What can we do about it? We can start by working on ourselves. We can work on becoming the enlightened, loving, high functioning persons we are meant to be so that we are part of the solution rather than part of the problem. We can […]
Here I am in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Recently considered an “All American City”. Now ranked 15th most segregated in the most segregated state. A city that drives out gay pastors who dare come to town with their black at-risk adopted children. A very decent place to live. A city that strives to be one of […]
Life involves many activities that we need to do but would prefer not to. For example, I am in the process of tearing up the wall to wall carpeting in my home and restoring the hard wood floors underneath. This is hard on my back and I don’t really enjoy this type of work. Yet […]
