There’s something you want, isn’t there? Something that you want so desperately that it is eating away at your insides; a longing that has been gnawing away great chunks of your heart while you weren’t looking and leaving you feeling as if you are some sort of metaphysical Swiss cheese; all full of inexplicable holes...

My grandfather taught me to play chess when I was a little girl. I couldn’t have been any older than six, for I wasn’t in school yet and we’d play during the day in between his patients (he had a home office medical practice) with a wooden chess set that he kept in a... Continue Reading →
There was a cricket in my basement last night. I know, because I heard him singing. There are spiders in my basement too. In fact, there are studies that have shown that you are never more than ten feet away from a spider (some studies say three feet). Luckily I am normally able to go... Continue Reading →
I am haunted by moths. All summer and autumn long they find me. Every time I enter my bedroom after sunset I am greeted by moths fluttering against the outside of my bedroom window; clinging to the screen; drawn by the promise of the warmth and light inside. They fling themselves against my window pane... Continue Reading →
Christmas is in the air. The houses are decked out with twinkle lights and the stores are packed with shoppers scrambling for last minute Christmas gifts. There are ornaments on the trees and wreathes on the doors. We talk of Santa and reindeer and sleigh rides and serve up eggnog and fruitcake to our guests... Continue Reading →
At the heart of everything mankind believes in, there are two very fundamental principles; Thought and Action. You see it everywhere; in everyone; clear as anything. The majority of people fall into one of two camps. There are those that fall into the camp of wanting to take action - now - against something, someone,... Continue Reading →
You hear a lot of things about duality; most of it negative. But when it comes right down to it, dudality is a very necessary part of our existence. Or rather, duality is a very necessary part of our being able to experience our existence. But what exactly IS duality? Quite simply; duality is the... Continue Reading →
To Love, Honor and Cherish. These words have been included in wedding ceremonies, both Christian and Civil services for the last 200 years and while the first two are fairly self-explanatory, it is the third, Cherish, that has, over the years, lost its true meaning. So what does it mean to cherish someone? The word... Continue Reading →
Anyone who has been exposed to modern spirituality for any length of time is sure to have encountered the phrase that “you are making your own reality.” I’ve spoken with countless people, who support or argue as to whether or not this is possible and I am always fascinated with their interpretation of the phrase. ...

YOU ARE HERE. How many times have we seen those words – usually on maps – and almost always accompanied by a large red X (with or without an arrow pointing to it) so that you know that THIS X, not some other random X, is the one you need to be paying attention to?... Continue Reading →
Did you know that the term "How many angels can dance on the head of a pin?" was actually a derogatory phrase? It was used to discredit scholastic philosophy at a time when it still played a significant role in university education. Well, that's what some people believe. There are others that teach that this... Continue Reading →
I have a story to tell you; a story that needs to be told. I will not tell you if it is truth or fiction - that is something which you will have to decide for yourself. So listen closely. Listen well. If my story rings true for you, then truth it is. If it... Continue Reading →
I find it amusing when someone claims to have THE truth. Don't get me wrong, I admire their ability to stick to their guns and defend their viewpoint, but to insist that there is only one way to look at things - only one truth - makes me shake my head. It's like looking at... Continue Reading →
Full Moon Meditation; The Fruit of the Tree of Knowledge You come to me; filtered through the branches of my apple tree; a silvery orb of forbidden fruit that fills my soul with wonder and leaves her clarity on my tongue. Fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil could not be... Continue Reading →
All around us the world is changing; its energy is changing; moving; shifting; preparing for an upheaval of unimaginable proportions. You are aware of these changes. You can feel them. Everyone is aware of them at some level. Everyone can feel them whether they realize it or not. Even for those who deny it, the... Continue Reading →
Between the idea And the reality Between the motion And the act Falls the Shadow ~T.S. Eliot Have you ever noticed that as humans we tend to focus on the tangible; the object, the sound, the smell, the taste, the texture and never the spaces in between that give the objects their shape? My eyes... Continue Reading →
You! Yes you, there, the one standing on the edge of the abyss! No, don’t look over your shoulder, I’m not standing behind you. How could I be? There’s a sheer cliff face behind you. No, it doesn’t matter where I am – would you knock it off? It doesn’t matter who I am, it... Continue Reading →
If I told you what it takes to reach the highest high you'd laugh and say nothing that simple, but you've been told many times before messiah's point you to the door though no one's got the guts to leave the temple. ~Pete Townshend Saving the world is a thankless job. Ask any messiah and... Continue Reading →
Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing, there is a field. I'll meet you there. When the soul lies down in that grass, the world is too full to talk about ~~Jalal ad-Din Rumi Can you imagine it? Can you imagine a world where we've stepped beyond the need to classify things as "right" or... Continue Reading →
We can talk about spirituality until we’re blue in the face, but until we do something about it, until we can find a way to incorporate it into our daily lives, all the knowledge that we have does us absolutely no good. But how does one go about creating a spiritual life? Let’s get... Continue Reading →
