I’d Never, Ever, Ever, Ever…
Hello all! Blogger Slacker is making up for lost time, at least for today. This is not an original post, in fact it is a total copy job from Lynne Farrow. This is such a beautiful post that I wanted to pass it along. If you’d like to learn more about her or her work, you can find her here. Enjoy!!! I’d Never, Ever, Ever, Ever. . . By Lynne, on January 26th, 2011 Some days the teacher’s not the teacher. Some days wisdom rises up through a single voice to give voice to our collective experience and pain. We’re working on an Inside/Outside project at The...
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. While that is a personal thing, I also have been...
Read MoreShowers of Mercy (rerun)
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.

A lot of folks are having a rough time right now, it’s been a deep year for a lot of people. I...
Read MoreRest for your souls…
Stand at the crossroads and look; ask about the ancient paths, “Which one is the good way?” Take it, and you will find rest for your souls… ~~Jeremiah 6:16 I snapped this picture when we had just hiked over Skull Bridge, at the Continental Divide Trail (CDT) near Abiquiu, New Mexico. The Trail head is just over that bridge and heads south into the Rio Chamas Wilderness area, a gorgeous place no matter what time of year. I wrote about this trip recently in a post titled Smile at Fear; if you are interested, you can read that entry from the Blessings Blog here....
Read MoreSpiritual Fruits or Just Nuts?
Today, like every other day, we wake up empty and frightened. Don’t open the door to the study and begin reading. Take down the dulcimer. There are a thousand ways to kneel and kiss the ground. Let the beauty we love be what we do. ~~Rumi I love this picture, taken when the Christ the Redeemer statue was under construction. One of the New Seven Wonders of the World, it was built in Rio di Janiero in the 1920’s and is huge, overlooking the whole city. It captures how I so often feel on the path and I look at it from time to time to remind me of what it symbolizes to me in my...
