May we forgive, and open to our hearts
May we pray, and open to our Grace
May we play, and open to our beauty
May we give, and open to our true love
Amen

Second Sight

Reckoning
Your presence in the world
I have found you
Faintly disappearing
As I come into view
Now that I am here
You have gone
Surrender

My life is a star filled ocean
Pulled to ever changing shores
By the gravity of Grace
Song OF ReUnion

Here
Formless
Mother of the OneSelf
Womb of nothing
Here
Now
Music before sound
Dark before light
Here
Now
The OneSelf is born
Softly sudden
Dreamer of dreamers
Power
Light

Yesterday, brazilian beauty queen Mariana Bridi da Costa died as the result of a viral infection – over the last month she had had both her hand and feet amputated in an effort to save her life, but yesterday she succumbed.
I was just finishing off a session when I got this news, so I entered [...]
Prayer of Abundance

The light of God is here.
The love of God is here.
We dwell in a place of infinite abundance.
The river of life is flowing through us into lavish expression.
The Grace of God is blessing us in countless ways.
Nothing is too good to be true.
Nothing is too wonderful to have happen.
In God’s love, our abundance is made [...]
Beauty

This closing monologue of the film ‘American Beauty’ is, to my mind, a lovely and truly expressive appeal to all of us to find the beauty that is our lives in this physical universe……
“I’d always thought that your entire life flashes in front of your eyes the second before you [...]
A Hopi Prayer

Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there,
I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight
On the ripened grain.
I am the gentle Autumn’s rain.
When you awaken in the morning hush,
I am the swift uplifting rush
of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the [...]
My Lucky Rock

I said to a squirrel, “What is that you are carrying?”
and he said,
“It is my lucky rock; isn’t it pretty?”
I held it and said, “Indeed.”
I said to God,
What is this earth?”
And He said, “It is my lucky rock;
isn’t it wondrous?”
Yes, indeed.
- Tukaram (c.1608 – 1649). Translated by Daniel Ladinsky.
Anyway

People are often non-reliable, illogical and self-centered;
Forgive them anyway.
If you are successful,
You will win some false friends and some true enemies;
Succeed anyway.
If you are honest and frank,
People may cheat you;
Be honest and frank anyway.
When you spend years building,
Someone may destroy overnight;
Build anyway.
The good you do today,
People will often forget tomorrow;
Do good anyway.
Give the world the [...]
