I once had a teacher who was a wonderful medium. He demonstrated love and humility with every breath, and I remember how he would begin his sessions sitting barefoot, his feet planted firmly on the floor.

There’s a warm wind blowing tonight in my part of the world. I stood outside in the dark, knowing that the leaves from our many fruit trees would be filling my meditation pond. Not so pretty at the moment, and certainly extra work for my Friday, but simply part of what is. The practical mechanics

Each of us plays a unique role in the transformation of collective consciousness. We arrive in this world carrying our own gifts, experiences, and opportunities for growth, contributing to something far greater than we can see from our individual perspective. As we grow in awareness and Divine grace, our understanding of interconnectedness deepens. We begin
