It’s hard to remember

“… It’s hard to remember, it’s hard to remember, we’re alive for the first time. It’s hard to remember, it’s hard to remember, we’re alive for the last time. It’s hard to remember, it’s hard to remember, to live before you die. It’s hard to remember, it’s hard to remember, that our lives are such […]

The Journey

The Journey

One day you finally knew what you had to do, and began, though the voices around you kept shouting their bad advice — though the whole house began to tremble and you felt the old tug at your ankles. “Mend my life!” each voice cried. But you didn’t stop. You knew what you had to […]

Yes, there is today. Yet what do you plan to do with the rest?

The Summer Day Who made the world? Who made the swan, and the black bear? Who made the grasshopper? This grasshopper, I mean- the one who has flung herself out of the grass, the one who is eating sugar out of my hand, who is moving her jaws back and forth instead of up and […]

It turns out baby steps gets us there

It turns out baby steps gets us there

Who knew? As babies, all we can do is take baby steps. As we get older, some of us believe that the long strides and great leaps over massive hurdles are what makes up our lives. Others of us accept our fate and dwell on the conditions we’ve found ourselves in. “It is our choices […]

Let Something New Come Through You

Let Something New Come Through You

Sing it, sister! I’ve been inspired hearing these words performed by singer-songwriter Dawn Mitschele in her song “Something New“. What about all the little things? What about all the plans? What about them? What about what you should do? What about what you’re used to? What about it? Well you know there’s gotta be something […]

Make big money writing poems

Make big money writing poems

Big money. Right there, in BIG LETTERS. MAKE BIG MONEY. Maybe inside are the words – “your results may vary” – so they’ll have a shred of truth in advertising. Somehow I doubt it. I’m grateful that I’ve been able to support many poets whose words have touched me. I’ve bought their books. I’ve shared […]

Sparks – for life or death?

Sparks – for life or death?

  We’re interconnected, and it’s wonderful how that leads to our and other’s immortality. With calm attention or regular practice, we can feel our hearts open when others are near, or even as we remember them. How does this happen, this heart-connection? What if every time the joy of life dances in our heart, a […]

Yesterday I was clever

Yesterday I was clever

Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise, so I am changing myself. Jalaluddin Rumi. It can be frustrating and not work too well to try to change the world. By being grounded and solidly on our own two feet, we can be more effective. Changing our attitude […]

If you’re not outraged, you’re paying attention

If you’re not outraged, you’re paying attention

Yes, that’s right. Paying attention doesn’t mean being outraged by what you see. Outrage comes from not paying attention, from having the attention being distracted, whether by judgement, right/wrong thinking, or denial of things as they truly are. Many people notice their outrage when things are different than they want, prefer, or expect. Many people […]

A sweet way to make time timeless

A sweet way to make time timeless

Time is too slow for those who wait, too swift for those who fear, too long for those who grieve, too short for those who rejoice, but for those who love, time is eternity….Henry Van Dyke. Time is an amazing concept, and even as we feel we understand it, it becomes more elusive. I’ve discovered […]
