This is one of my favorite pieces of writing is some time. (Warning: it is somewhat lengthy.) It is all about irises. Of course the flower is lovingly described in all its glory but references to history, art, mythology, eyes and more extend the meaning beyond anything I would have expected. Here's...

Forest Magic — From Finland — by Nitin Das https://vimeo.com/304605305 This enchanting visual poem from Finland is a feast for the senses. It takes us on a magical forest tour as we experience the miracles of life there through time and seasons, through silence and nature's songs, and through fligh...

This is a wonderful little essay on stillness. Stillness, a sense of the unchanging, is all around. For example, it’s not the ultimate stillness, but there is that lovely feeling when the house is quiet and you’re sitting in peace, the dishes are done and the kids are fine (or the equivalent), and ...

This is a little parable featuring an exchange between Shiva and Shakti. The final line that summarized the lesson is... It seems that Life drops many bags of gold in our path. Rarely do they look like what they are. Stepping Over The Bag Of Gold — by Rachel Naomi Remen http://www.awakin.org/read/v...

There is one thing we all have in us and that’s called mind. The job of the mind is thinking. It plays the human energy into many directions. That’s the duty of the mind. It is given for watching the entire presence of the human and how a human can progress. It does two things. It gives a man power...

Man is as much attached to nature as a tree, and though he walks freely on two legs and is not rooted in the soil, he is by no means a self-sufficient, self-moving, and self-directing entity. For his life he depends absolutely on the same factors as the tree, the worm, and the fly, on the universal...

"A good story is like a compass, it points to something true and invites us to orient our own direction according to it and perhaps to live a little better." With these words Dr. Rachel Naomi Remen proceeds to tell stories that enthrall and enchant and indeed help to orient us and guide us to seek ...

Susan is at the forefront of the 'free energy' movement. I know I've been aware of a small number of real technologies and several probables but my 'knowledge' has been essentially anecdotal although it is, I believe, true. Susan is at the head of the curve and she gives the best answers I've heard...

At the core of legal theory is this idea that there are essentially two forms of liberty—positive and negative. Positive liberty is the freedom to do something, such as the freedom of speech or the freedom of worship. Negative liberty is freedom from something, which is a little more complicated. F...

I think Bob exhibits a type of genius I've rarely encountered with anyone. He creates meaningful rituals for the moment. I believe the two he describes will end up being incorporated in our society because they are so valuable. People won't know where they came from in all likelihood and that is pa...

Discovering What’s Sacred This is the sacred in everyday life. When something is recognized as sacred, it is known to have a quality that is beyond the material, physical world. It’s not subject to the mind’s analysis, judgment, or interpretation. It is illuminated by grace. It may look ordinary, b...

One day, an old man was walking along a beach that was littered with thousands of starfish that had been washed ashore by the high tide. As he walked he came upon a young boy who was eagerly throwing the starfish back into the ocean, one by one. Puzzled, the man looked at the boy and asked what he ...

To work for peace and justice we begin with the individual practice of love, because it is there that we can experience firsthand love’s transformative power. Attending to the damaging impact of abuse in many of our childhoods helps us cultivate the mind of love. Abuse is always about lovelessness,...

Audrey Addison Williams is the founder of One America Rising and Healing the Soul of America . This essay was originally published on her Facebook page on March 27, 2019 In a way this is about dying but not so much physical death as the loss of hopes only to have them reborn in Love. It is a brilli...

Bryan, Sounds like you've had an extraordinary burst of growth in dredging up the anchors of the past (which are usually epigenetic i.e. inherited) in order to grow beyond those limitations. That is the hardest work in the process that we all call spiritual growth. It is also vital. Good for you an...

This article is wonderful... Since Whitman and Thoreau, no one had made the grass and the sky speak so eloquently, as ambassadors to the embodied sacred. Years before Mindfulness took the world by storm, inviting us to savor the moment, Mary Oliver had long been saying things like: “Attention is our...

Good old Byrds! A song or two of theirs came up on my iPod in the last couple of days as I was working in the shop.

[*]This is only a sortof poem[*] Build Strength — by Danielle LaPorte Build strength through: reflection. Build strength through: joy. Build strength through: stillness. Build strength through: action. Build strength through: cleansing. Build strength through: laughter. Build strength through: gene...

True happiness is uncaused. You are happy for no reason at all. And true happiness cannot be experienced. It is not within the realm of consciousness. So it is with holiness. Holiness is unself-consciousness. The moment you are aware of your holiness it goes sour and becomes self-righteousness. A g...

This might be described as a short story about counting tree rings. It is far more profound than that. That's why I love the writing of Stuart M. Perkins. Forty-Third Ring — by Stuart M. Perkins https://storyshucker.wordpress.com/2019/03/06/forty-third-ring/ http://www.theoreticsinstitute.org/pics/...

Kim tells a story of the dawning of a realization that has implications for all of us, I believe. We’re not going to reverse climate change, but there will be a future, and that future will contain good and loving and just pieces. And I know that my job, no matter how depressing the climate reports...

Kim discusses baking... as a labor of love and why it is so valuable. It came to me that baking was a great metaphor to life and that the qualities it took to bake the bread were indeed qualities I want to cultivate more in my everyday life. While technology provides great benefit we have become ad...

I wasn't sure if you meant for this directly but I understand now the 1111 prompt as a language that is Love coming from Spirit to Soul after reading your essay. Side note about our memories leaving us after death, I suppose I am still very much body/ego conscious since this scares me. I am a bit s...

This is a most eloquent allegory concerning the process of awakening (spiritual awakening is what I read/heard). It is one of those little pieces of brilliance that I can't excerpt without compromising the message. Kazoo Player And The Symphony — Daniel Ingram http://www.awakin.org/read/view.php?op...
