More Love
“To hold our tongues when everyone is gossiping, to smile without hostility at people and institutions, to compensate for the shortage of love in the world with more love in small, private matters; to be more faithful in our work, to show greater patience, to forgo the cheap revenge obtainable from mockery and criticism: all …
Perpetual Becoming
“They both listened silently to the water, which to them was not just water, but the voice of life, the voice of Being, the voice of perpetual Becoming.” - Hermann Hesse, Siddhartha. How freely would you say does the voice of your Being speak through you? Are your heart and mind attuned to it? Or …
With all things…
In the alternation between inhaling and exhaling, between heaven and earth, between Yin and Yang, holiness is forever being created.

Why I write
"Could a greater miracle take place than for us to look through each other's eyes for an instant?" - Henry D.

Materializing Love
Love is a spirit. It is omnipresent and omnipotent, but it must be given form if it is to have meaning at this or any level of creation. Given that love is everywhere, you needn't seek it; love is always at hand. Your mission, if you choose to accept it, is not to seek love, …
