Hello Beloved, How is this lovely holiday season treating you? Over the weekend here where I am we were blessed with more than 12 inches of snow. Yay! Ah, not so much. I know I live in the great white north as some say but my old arthritic bones do prefer a more sublime clime.Continue reading “Blessed Be”

Hello Beloved, Have you heard the title phrase? I am sure you have or at least some variation of it. I have been thinking about words, the ones we say to others and the ones we say to ourselves. Sometimes they can be very different. In my personal experience the words “I wish” tend toContinue reading “Be Careful What You Wish For”

Hello Beloved, Well, here where I am the long dark night of winter has begun for real. The Thanksgiving holiday is over and now the feeding frenzy of holiday shopping has begun in earnest.

Good day Beloved, The other day I was asked to ponder the connectedness of humanity and nature. How the phases of the moon affect us. How the changing of the seasons change how people feel. I am sure you have heard of SAD Seasonal Affective Disorder. The grayer the season the grayer our moods andContinue reading “Connectedness”

…is lost, who has ever lost someone, whomever will lose someone important to them. Whether human or of another species. Hello Beloved, In many ways each post I put out into the cyber-verse is a prayer. Today for various and sundry reasons it feels right to put out a prayer that is unmistakable as aContinue reading “This goes out to everyone who…”

Hello Beloved, Lately I have been watching a show about traveling back in time to change the future. It got me to thinking about a conversation my Beloved and I used to have every now and then. Sometimes just the two of sometimes with other folks. One of us would ask this, who would youContinue reading “If you could….”

Good Day Beloved, A while back I was half heartedly listening to a TV show while doing some chores around the house and this phrase struck me. “We are all just a feather on the breath of God.” Have you ever played with a feather by blowing on it from underneath trying to keep itContinue reading “A Feather on the Breath of God”
