The Extraordinary In The Ordinary — by Llewellyn Vaughan-Lee

Here's the first paragraph of this little essay... Our acceptance of the ordinary is part of our spiritual maturity and capacity to be of service. It also helps us to avoid the trap of inflation, which can easily catch us when we glimpse a world beyond the ego. It is only too easy to identify with ...

Being Acted Through — by Joanna Macy

Here's a discovery we can make along our ecological Pilgrim's Progress: the discovery of what can happen through us. If we are the rocks dancing, then that which evolved us from those rocks carries us forward now and sustains us in our work for the continuance of life. When I admired a nurse for he...

Don't Waste A Curse On The Universe — by Ella Wheeler Wilcox

Don't look for the flaws as you go through life; And even when you find them, It is wise and kind to be somewhat blind And look for the virtue behind them. For the cloudiest night has a hint of light Somewhere in its shadows hiding; It is better by far to hunt for a star, Than the spots on the sun ...

Re: This is awesome! — from Welles

I have to say that I don't use Google for anything and am even leery about DuckDuckGo that I used for years. I've settled on the Brave search engine. That being said your references are good ones. Thanks for that. I'm still miffed.

The moon, seen from the Arctic Circle, between Russia and Canada. It only lasts a few seconds, but it's worth seeing. It's a spectacular sight.

Doing the Will of God — by Welles Goodrich

Doing the Will of God I’ve read this phrase over and over in spiritual and religious texts and yet a sense of real meaning eluded me until recently. I suspect part of my blocked comprehension was an emotional rejection for so often that phrase is used as a means of controlling other people. It seem...

A Turtle's Silver Bead Of Quietude — by Gayle Boss

Here's another sweet little piece of writing. The day is bright and warm for December, but the logs in the marsh pond are bare. Spring to summer into early fall they served, on sunny days, as spa to a dozen or so painted turtles. I would see them basking, splay-legged, stretching their leathery nec...

Garden Gifts — by Stuart M. Perkins

Out of nowhere, a robin landed on the concrete fountain. It took a drink, pivoted, and flew over my head towards the dogwood. Wings stirred the air just inches from my face. I felt the rush. Birdwatching was an added bonus on my frequent trips to public gardens like this one. On lazy Sunday afterno...

Integrity is a quality of being. It means holding on at all times to your highest sense of truth and your own vision, whatever the cost may be.

Being Nice Isn't The Same As Being Kind — Donna Cameron

Kind people go beyond what's expected of them. They go beyond the easy response to offer the best of who they are. They do it without expectation of something in return. They do it because of who and what they are and their vision of the world they want to live in. This made my day, Being Nice Isn'...
