Emotions are like water. They are healthiest when they are in movement. They happily live in seeming contradiction, changing in each moment and yet always there within their banks, along the shore, ever-present. There are times, events, occurences where they act dramatically and create radical change, but for the most part they are simply ever-present.…
It’s such a North American thing to spend a HUGE amount of our waking hours working to ‘get something done’. There is always a list of things that need doing and only so much time in the day to do them, most of them having nothing to do with fun or living life or enjoyment…
Unplug, get up, and get out. It’s not just about being fit, being connected through disconnecting (ah, technology), or getting back in touch with the world around us, it’s opening our eyes to what is actually around us.

Rita Nakashima Brock, Journeys By Heart Because the very existence of heart is basic to the structure of human life itself and is the basis of our being broken in relationships, we require connections if we are to acknowledge our own broken heart and be healed.

So many of us know what we should be doing. Know it so well we could make lyrical poetry out of it. Know it so in-depth that we could create interpretive dance representing it and even the dog would understand what we mean. But it means nothing because no amount of knowing changes the fact…
I have been interested in sound meditation practices and sound healing for many years. Many of these practices are beautiful, supportive and very healing. Some of them make me go ??? And others I find just plain silly. But the one question that keeps me puzzled is why people can clearly see the radiating, spherical…
I’m still puzzling over some interactions I had with friends of mine. I hadn’t seen them in a while and I was looking forward to catching up with them with some reservations. We have had disagreements in the past about issues that were important to all of us and haven’t always gotten along well, but…
