Be Still And Know …
Be still and know I Am God… ~~Psalm 46:10 Hello all 🙂  Blogger slacker strikes twice in a week, how bout that? I’ve had lots of calls and emails this week about things going on in Japan, in the States, in personal and professional lives…lots of stress for people right now. In times of stress–and I realize this is counter-intuitive for some folks–but in times of stress, I think it’s helpful to remember that usually the best thing we can do is get quiet, regroup, get still and just breathe. It is only in the present moment that you can hear the still,...

Courage is the power to let go of the familiar… ~~Raymond Lundquist Hello all 🙂 Blogger Slacker returns… I took this pic a few weeks ago in a remote place called Cathedral Canyon, in The Middle Of Nowhere, Missouri. To reach this place, you have to leave all that is familiar, drive 2 hours from a major city, then hike even further into the more-middle-of-nowhere. I must say~~ it was totally worth it. The pic doesn’t do it justice. I spent a few days in that part of the world, totally off the grid and reconnecting with myself. It was lovely in a million different...
Read MoreEclipse & Happy Merry Everything!
Hello all! I wanted to post some sort of really fun, wise, enlightening article here for the holidays, and if there is time I still may do that. But in the meantime, what is happening tonight is fun, spiritual and has attracted wise seekers throughout the ages. Tuesday is a total Lunar Eclipse. It is also the Winter Solstice and the World Wide Chant for Peace Day. Some are saying this is the first time in over 400 years all of these events have happened on the same day.  Christmas is upon us, the day Christians celebrate New Light coming into the world. So I can’t top any...
Read MoreGetting There
Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail. ~~Ralph Waldo Emerson Hello all 🙂 I was talking with some folks over the weekend about the paths we walk…how we think the path we are on will lead to a certain place, but part of the journey is accepting when it wanders into other areas. Staying on the path and getting there aren’t necessarily the same thing, but probably all part of the same path. It reminded me of the wonderful poem by David Wagoner, so I thought I’d post it. We’ve all earned this ” worn-down, hard,...
Read MoreBlogger Slacker
Hello all 🙂 I’ve been a total blogger slacker the last few weeks, but with good and fun reason. If you are interested, you can read about some of those adventures on Spirituality Blog, a post titled Love is Kind. I was thinking a lot about time, love, patience, kindness, fun, grief, healing, and on and on it goes. I took this pic in Florida, after driving an enormous damn yellow moving truck from St. Louis all the way south. Any further with that stuff and we would have all drowned! 😉  Along the way, I had plenty of time to think and ponder, which was part of the fun. I was...
Read MoreLove is Kind
Love is patient, love is kind… It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres… Love never fails… And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love. ~~1 Corinthians 13 I thought a lot about those verses from 1 Corinthians the last week or so. They are often used at weddings as the example of pure love, of how we are to interact with another, but the full verse is the example of God’s Love for us. But I think they are also an aspiration for many of us, one that I don’t live out as well as I’d like, if I...
