Observer or Participant?

I am reading a wonderful book Walking a Sacred Path by Dr. Lauren Artress, who brought the labyrinth to the United States in the 1990s. She writes about the difference between a tourist and a pilgrim, and I was deeply struck by this distinction. She says that tourists observe, while pilgrims participate. I believe I […]

Lighten the Load

“There is a power of light and love and beauty in the universe greater than anything we have ever imagined—and it includes us.” I was talking with someone about how hard a task he was doing felt. I’ve felt the same way when I’m engaged in something in the 3D world—like taxes, finances, or a […]

All the women below tended their garden called Curiosity, allowing them to press through walls that might have obstructed them and help shape the world we know today: Without curiosity, we would never advance as a species. What am I curious about? What are you curious about? Are you done—retired, ready to rest in your […]

MY EASTER/PASSOVER MESSAGE

As I awaken to Easter morning, and I’m catapulted back to my days as a young Catholic girl. I was deeply devoted to Easter, to Jesus’s crucifixion and resurrection. I learned to believe it—it was my truth, passed down by my parents, twelve years of Catholic education, and what I now call my indoctrination into […]

72 Years of Awakening

This month, I celebrated my 72nd birthday. I really can’t believe I’m 72 years old. I do not feel like an “old woman.” In fact, I don’t feel physically much different than I did as a young person. When I look in the mirror, I’m actually surprised by what I see—me, with a few wrinkles […]
