The Movement of Spirit
The movement of Spirit is such a mystery at times and yet it is our moment-to-moment experience. When I am still and just paying attention it’s obvious that the life force that created us is
Curse or Gift?
This morning I started writing about life’s dramas whether on TV or in life and how there is a tendency to want the ‘bad guys’ to be gotten rid of somehow because they bring up
Caregiving
Sometimes I feel like my head is exploding as I dive into the reading for my spiritual direction courses. Even though there is a familiarity to much of it, there is also an invitation to
Space in Between
It’s the Saturday before Easter, that in-between time meant for the activity of Spirit to do what it does after we’ve done what we need to do to effect change. I wonder if we really

Riding the Waves of Love

Rites of Initiation Part 2

Rites of Initiation
I listen to a lot of Richard Rohr podcasts these days, I just love the perspective he and his associates Bree Stoner and Paul Swanson bring to various topics, usually having to do with Richard’s
Gratefulness
We have a fabulous question in the current module of our Integrating Body, Soul and Spirit class series. It has actually transformed my experience of gratitude. Here’s the question and my responses. Discuss the difference
A Gateway
In the height of summer with the magnificence of nature all around us, I take a moment to savour it all and appreciate just how blessed I am to be living where I am and
Holiday from My Life
Time flies when you’re on a holiday from your life. I had a visit from our friendly neighbourhood COVID for the past few days and so the commitments I had were canceled and all the
A Third Way
Well, I guess we didn’t have enough overt divisiveness going on, so we thought we’d add to the pile. Some days it really makes me wonder where this is all going but then after some
