Fall is the gathering time. Gathering in of crops, gathering in of ideas, gathering all the lost bits and pieces that got strewn around during the play of Summer, gathering our wits to deal with everything that begins again in fall like school, work, projects, and plans. But fall is also the time of gathering…
People make structure out of chaos. That’s what our highly developed brains are supposed to do. It’s our one weapon for survival in this dangerous place we call home. We have no fur to keep us warm when temperatures drop, we are slow-moving, we have no defensive weapons, we basically have our brains, opposable thumbs,…
Every human being is a soul living an embodied life. I personally do not ascribe to the belief that we live this life in order to try to remember and return to our Spiritual state, constantly failing a little less each time until we reach perfection. To me this seems like a type of torture…
Ever experienced a time when you were doing something and you realized that you forgot about time all together and you had a smile on your face you know you’ve had for a while now and you are just totally enthralled in what you are doing? That’s how I define ‘joy’. Most people think of…
Most days there is plenty enough to do to get through the day. Work and groceries and cooking and hobbies and family and the list goes on and on. Between trying to be who we are or figure out who we are and trying to be what others need us to be or who we…

We get conflicting messages about our personal past. “Those who forget history are doomed to repeat it”. “Let bygones be bygones”. “Forgive and forget. Relieve and regret”. “Keep moving forward and don’t live in the past”. It can leave you feeling whiplash. Is what happened to me before relevant? Do I just forget everything and…
I’m always fascinated by seeing people’s soul books in the Akashics. It’s like meeting someone in person after only having spoken with them over the phone for months and never having seen a picture. How they look is almost never what you had imagined. People’s books are almost never what I imagined. I’ve not yet…
I went to visit my father, yesterday. He’s in a care facility about 2 hours from my home so it’s a fairly easy drive. The facility is amazing and he is getting fantastic care from happy staff who like their jobs and have enough staff on hand to do the job well. They actually enjoy…
