Eva’s Choice: Go For The Goodness

January 31, 2012

My daughter’s family has a rescue dog named Eva. She is a kind, gentle, loving, and a very happy dog. It would seem that she must have had an easy and happy puppyhood, but that wasn’t the case at all. In fact, it was completely the opposite. It was hard, mean, and by all appearances, [...]

Ownerless, Boundaryless, Timeless

January 16, 2012

On very rainy days, across the street from us a stream forms in our neighbor’s yard. Gathering speed as it nears his property line; it flows under the road and empties out into our yard. If it is raining hard enough, it continues its journey down our bank, through the bushes and trees, and into [...]

It’s Inside Knowledge

January 2, 2012

We are all taught how to look at something and then mimic what we see. This isn’t necessarily a bad thing, after all, it is how we learn to read and write, walk, or bake a cake. However, the day must come when we change our viewpoint and ask, “What is the intent behind this, [...]

This Is The Promised Day

December 14, 2011

When you wake each morning, what is your first thought of the day? How many of us have this as our first thought, “This is the promised day”. Perhaps we do if for some reason it is a special day, like a wedding, a party, or a holiday, but what about an ordinary day. What [...]

Slow Down & Live Life As An Art

November 29, 2011

It was a mistake to speed on our little street because everyone for blocks around would hear my dad yell, “Slow Down”. For the person in the car, I am sure it was startling to say the least. Dad was a big man with a big voice, so I am sure they heard it, and [...]

The Presence Of Angels

November 14, 2011

The dramatic event was over in 20 minutes, but the before, during, and after was filled with Angels, in all the forms they come in. It was a warmish day so after working for hours on the computer I took a garden clean-up break. There was a bucket of ashes from our wood stove sitting [...]

Yearning For Response Answered

November 1, 2011

When the weather turns colder, we move two bird feeders from way out on the deck, to the covered porch, and the other to right outside my glass office door. Then we wait. It doesn’t take long. First, the chickadees find it and then the woodpeckers and within a very short time, we have a [...]

What Seal Team Ninja Chipmunks

October 17, 2011

One day we discovered a hole in the plastic lid on the peanut can that was in the cupboard. We knew what it was. It was our resident chipmunk. We were right, and we were wrong. Here’s the story. Living in semi country, we always host chipmunks. They run in and out of our garage, [...]

Follow The Spiritual Path Home

October 3, 2011

There they were, walking together again. They paused in the zinnia flowerbed, and then checked out the bushes. If one dawdled, the other patiently waited. They do this every day. Sometimes one walks in front of the other, and sometimes they walk together side by side down our garden path. However, there is always an [...]

Back From The Future Into The Now

September 20, 2011

It happened again last week. I got up one morning and my computer had reset its time clock to 2099. Everything on my computer was blinking in alarm because all my software programs, and protective services, were completely out of date. To the computer the last time they had been updated was 2011 – 88 [...]

Find What Is Already Present

September 6, 2011

When one door of happiness closes, another opens; but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one which has been opened for us. -Helen Keller The signal to the satellite had gone out, and after it was restored, I couldn’t get the sound to come back on. [...]
