At some point, now or later, you’re going to have to risk BEING YOU in order to find out who that really is. Not the conditioned you, not the “you” you’ve been taught to believe you are, who you really are. And this perhaps will be the scariest, the most loving, the most rewarding thing…
Part of what draws people to a spiritual life is a feeling that they need to do something or be something. It’s like a religious calling, but less well defined or less structured. And most of us want to know what that calling is and want to achieve it the best way we can. This…
So we’re nearing the end of the first 1/3 of Horse’s year. It’s a good time to look back and get an idea of how things have changed from the New Year until now. My sister taught me something years ago and it has stuck with me, although I usually apply it in way I…

The extremes help us find our boundaries, define ourselves, create the edge at which we know we are embarking on something new and expanding our horizons, etc., etc., etc…. But the middle is where we find the intricate beauty of all the shades of grey, where…
