10. Day 12: Let Debt Inspire
This morning I woke up with fear itself sitting on my chest, whispering in my ear “It’s time to pay the Piper”. I listened for awhile, hanging my head in agreement, thinking this amounted to extending love and being with but I still felt hounded, a little breathless and a tad guilty. I mean I did just declare by my very actions that it is AOK to take off on a trip for seven weeks to do business certainly but there was a lot of eating, drinking and making merry. I should pay for this, right? I certainly should pay my credit card debt and I should redouble my daily...
Read More8. Day 8: The Knowing Of Creation
I continue to ask Holy Spirit for insight and willingness to be with Not-Knowing without agenda. HS: Relax into Not-Knowing. The knowing of creation will come at exactly the perfect time. In every case there will be, is, and was everything you need at hand. Nothing is left to chance. Not-Knowing is not chance or random or a roll of the dice. Not-Knowing is from which all is chosen, created, extended and delighted in. Fear not this vastness–it is not a place, a moment or a decision–it is the stuff of ALL-IS. The more comfortable you are with Not-Knowing and ALL-IS the more...
Read More5. Day 11: Mary Magdalene Within
I am glorying in the book “Mary Magdalene Within” a beautiful voice who is the spirit of Mary Magdalene speaking from within the writer, Joan Norton . It is less important whether or not you can wrap you mind around this idea that a voice from the heart of another from long ago can speak again today. Instead, wrap your heart around this incredibly beautiful teaching and just let it caress you tenderly. You need not think about it at all. Here are just a few gems I must share: “Enlightenment had been taught as individual and [Jesus’] offering to the world...

When I was preparing to officiate my first wedding for some dear friends I spent much time in prayer, meditation and a modicum of unholy panic as the momentousness of the ceremony dawned on me. This is an ACTUAL legal happening, I realized. Two people will be officially married when the ceremony is done. As the hugeness of this rose in my awareness I extended much love to my thoughts as I naturally turned to Holy Spirit for peace, clarity and my real purpose on the day. I realized, in a ceremony, we are all letting go into, together, for the sake of what is being observed and celebrated....
Read More4. Day 25: That’s What Friends Are For
I think the hardest thing to let go is what I think about something. Especially when that “something” is, in fact, nothing. I am beginning to see I am not letting go of something, I am simply allowing myself to live with hands (and eyes and heart) wide open. I am not letting go of something I have a hold of, I am just letting go of thinking I have a hold of something. This morning a book sitting on my book shelf caught my eye. This is significant because I look at the book shelf every day and today one book literally called to me. It must be just what I need right now. I...
Read More4. Day 17: Extra Helpings Of Ordinary
I am alone in the house for the first time in weeks. The air is cool, the room shaded nicely by matchstick blinds on the porch. I am alone. Relief. Peace. Quiet. Joy. Breath. Time to notice I am here. Pace is stop. Halt. Desist. Off. Relaxation of letting go……………….. When there is always a next thing looming, however delightful, this moment already feels stolen. I lived these last weeks reasonably in the present moment. Truth is, the most momentous of graduation, commissioning, send off and arrival of quests were entirely ordinary–and that was...
