It is sad
It is angry
It is empty
It is nothing
It is everything
It is here
It is not.

Inhumanity
August 2, 2014Separation
August 9, 201346 = 10 = 1
The mass needs to be separated into fine strands. Looking at the whole all of the time creates confusion. The path is traveled one step at a time. Sometimes the parts need to be seen in a very fine light in order to illuminate the issues and the meanings of things. The process of separating can take time. Patience is required. But it is important to return again and again to the process. It is only in the process that we can truly see what is in front of our eyes. It is only then that we can travel through and among those fine filaments until we arrive at the next mass of confusion. And so the circle continues.

Injustice
August 6, 2013The circle in
The circle out
The balance
The imbalance
What is justice?
There are the glaring injustices and the subtle
There is balance
There is no balance
We stand
We fall
We rise

An Old Friend
March 5, 2010Taking the weight of winter into the labyrinth with the promise of spring.
An old blanket wrapped ‘round with a cup of tea.
The heaviness of life laid in the center.
The comfort of spirit, returning, returning.

One step at a time
January 10, 2010I walked the labyrinth yesterday in the cold. My hooded jacket was drawn tight around my face. I was mostly looking down. I was looking mostly at my feet. I was being directed to notice my steps. The only step that became important was the one I was currently taking.
This step is the current step, now this step is the current step, and so on.
It is true across so many traditions of spirituality that the current moment is the only real moment. It is so easy to worry about the future or to replay scenarios from the past. This very, very present moment is the real moment.
Let me remember throughout my day that this very moment is the real moment.
