  • The Intimate Expression of One’s Own Being

    We are inextricably linked and interconnected with everyone around us. Most of us live oblivious to it, our ego teaching us to think in an individualized way. But if we are all made in the image of the Divine, if we all carry Divine DNA in our being, and if we are all given the…

  • The Streams of My Mother’s Love

    Considering God as Father is not wrong or incorrect. But it’s only one view. And there are so many others. I’m not going to argue that God should be translated as “she” with a capital “S” either, as if flipping the all-or-nothing spectrum would fix anything.

  • Transitions, Grief, and the Illusion of “Ownership”

    We usually can’t move to a new thing without leaving something (or many things) behind. Whether it is a physical move of location; changing jobs or vocation; or welcoming or losing a member into a family or community through birth, adoption, marriage, or death.

  • Who and What are the Mystics?

    Maybe I’m strange, but my first inclination when I heard the word was something to do with magic. Mystical. Magical. The words seemed similar enough.
