A Journey of Forgiveness

witness

Lately there seems to be a focus in the media on the topic of forgiveness; stories of tragedy are retold, the heroes inspire us and our hearts unfold. We need to see and hear from these miraculous vessels of compassion, the people who show us that it is possible to be God-like in our forgiveness. Perhaps they reflect to us so much of their divinity because they have experienced so deeply the value of their humanity. […] Read more »

Meandering on the Most Direct Path

exploring

Have you ever seen a squirrel march directly over to its next nibble? Have you witnessed birds perch for very long in one place? Do bees make one flower their home or do they buzz from blossom to blossom?

What about you? How […] Read more »

Reflections of God’s Love

seeing each other

Love. It comes to us surprisingly, develops over time, or doesn’t seem to be present at all. It takes many forms – familial, romantic or self-love. It is offered without condition or disguised as generosity through expectation. For some it is celebrated every day, or for others it is made special on the 14th of February. Our definition and experience of love is varied and diverse. So what truly is love? Love is an energy that emanates from our heart […] Read more »

Routine, Rote or Ritual?

Routine, Rote or Ritual? The way I see it, it all depends on your consciousness. We are creatures of repetition. Doing something again and again, as long as it’s not something we really dislike, creates some measure of comfort, maybe even safety. Think about the things you do upon rising in the morning: you shower, brush your teeth, comb your hair, get dressed, etc. If you’re really tired you can even do them with your eyes closed. It’s […] Read more »
