My Blog

I feel so infinitely blessed and grateful for all of you. I am in awe, being shown again and again how much I am loved, how safe I am, and how supported I am by friends who are so deeply wise, open-hearted, joyful, humble and beautiful - beyond what I could have ever imagined or asked for.

This time in my life is one of the most exquisitely painful, and at the same time expansively joyful. I believe the two are not in fact separate. At times I feel I might die, or at least break......a... read more

Letting go is...

Trusting that you are, in essence, everything beautiful and good that you have released.

Opening the closed fist so that it can be filled with the warmth of your own being.

Feeling the remorse of unconscious acts.

Feeling the pain of having believed you are less than you are.

Sacrifice.

Giving freedom.

Understanding that nothing is ever lost.

Surrendering to the unknown.

Love.

There once was a man
With such love in his heart,
That he wanted to share it,
To make loving his art.


So he started to love
From the small to the tall,
No matter the person
He gave love to all.


He did it by sharing
His kindness and caring,
His joy and delight
For this world full of light.


His spirit was magic
And all that he met
Were touched by his presence
They loved him, and yet...


Sometimes he felt sad
That the love that he had
Could not seem to cure them

It seems to me that life is sort of like a knack that you can only get the hang of with practice. You can learn all the technical motions, read all the right books, imitate others, and pretend, but it's only when you get the knack of it that you start to feel "aha!" And that very "aha" is living.

But without the effort, the desire to learn, the reading of books, imitating, pretending and so forth, there may never be any chance of getting the knack in the first place. Like sometimes you ... read more

Doubt and fear are a natural part of forging into the unknown, pushing deeper, releasing the old and familiar because you've outgrown it.

I have had my share of doubts and fears, and I've persisted. Persistence has perhaps been the way that I've loved myself most. Not knowing why or for what, moving through darkness, pushing forward because of my faith that actually We are an ultimate bliss, joy, love and peace that is so exquisite and poignant that I could never possibly begin to contai... read more
