Re: Happy Thanksgiving!

Hey this is extremely belated but worth it. A friend sent me a Jacquie Lawson Thanksgiving 'card'. The art is so sophistically crude I've been entranced by it's joyfulness and watched it a dozen times or so.

You can view this card here...

Unconditional Love Really Exists — by Ram Dass

Unconditional love really exists in each of us. It is part of our deep inner being. It is not so much an active emotion as a state of being. It’s not "I love you" for this or that reason, not "I love you if you love me." It's love for no reason, love without an object. It's just...

This is just a delightful article. I predict it will make you think and make you smile. Amy's use of the language is delicious. EARLY ON, there was no word for “groundhog.” Neither were there groundhogs, or grandmothers, or event coordinators. There were events but they were uncoordinated like the ...

Normally I don't post the punchline but in this case I'm giving you the conclusion because I was concerned that you might be put off by 'suffer'.

Perhaps genes aren’t the only thing that we’ve been shaped to try and save. Maybe altruism evolves to recognize affinity, joint purpose, shared values. Maybe nothing elicits a sense of relatedness more deeply than feeling our dependence on other living things. A predator depends entirely on its pre...

“Accepting what is” and trusting the Universe is an essential approach to life.

Difference Between Healing and Curing — by Michael Lerner, PhD

In my thirty years of working with cancer patients, I've seen a profound distinction between curing and healing. Curing is what a physician seeks to offer you. Healing, however, comes from within us. It's what *we* bring to the table. Healing can be described as a physical, emotional, mental and sp...
