Philosophers, Poets & the $64,000 Question (re-run)
“Do I prefer to grow up and relate to life directly, or do I choose to live and die in fear? ” — Pema Chödrön Hello all! I have once again been a blogger slacker, so I wanted to stop by and at least say hello. If you would like to read more about my activities during this blogger slacker time, you can find a post on that here, on the Spirituality of Grief Blog.

Read MoreThe Most Important Thing
Death is certain. The time of death is uncertain. Knowing this, what is the most important thing? ~~Buddhist wisdom I’ve thought about that question a lot lately. My mom spent several days in the hospital recently, which means I’ve spent a lot of time at a hospital as well. She is home now, sleeping soundly, and I write this from their house. Today was more doctors, more tests, more of walking the path that comes at this stage of the disease she is living with and dying from. It is an interesting path and an interesting time.

Surely Goodness and Mercy will follow me all the days of my life and I will dwell in the house of God forever… ~~Psalm 23 Hello all 🙂 I’m going to be off the grid the next several days, but I wanted to do another 2010 post before I leave. It seems like a good time for a few “best of” posts, so here ya go… It is interesting to me that I originally posted this one in July, but I won’t have to change a single word for it to be applicable again today. A lot of folks are having a rough time right now, it’s been a deep year for a lot of people. I...
Read MoreDistance Healing
“And God declares, I will restore you to health and heal your wounds…” ~~Jeremiah 30:17 A few months ago on the Blessings Blog, I started a conversation about distance healing. In the first post, I talked about science and research regarding distance healing. If you are interested, you can find that information in a post here. Several people have asked me about distance healing lately, so I wanted to post that article again here. If you would like to learn more about healing in general, I wrote an article for The Heroic Journal about the difference in healing vs....
