….who I have been, that I might remember who I am.… the words that are familiar to me that I might discover new ones that awaken me… what it feels like to know that I might experience the joy of not knowing with grace.Things continue to move so fast. In those moments, I wonder… am I in a fog or is this just a blur from watching things go by? And if so, ... Continue Reading >>

Faster than a speeding bullet…
I was in conversation today with Lori and found myself describing my life this way….Imagine the image of a train speeding down a track and hanging on to the railing of the caboose for dear life by one hand….is me! The most interesting part for me is that in that image, I am blinded by the intensity of my own smile. It seems that I enjoy the experience of ... Continue Reading >>
A passing thought….
We complain about the current status of our world... but we do not complain about who we have been to create such a result.Perhaps, if we were to focus our attention on the source of our havoc (us!), we would create something very different.

It may mean that I make another call, or send an email to connect a couple of people, but whatever it is, I do it ... Continue Reading >>
Woman – Conduit – The Sacred
It’s getting clearer to me, now. I know why women are dying in such huge numbers. In so many different ways, so many different cultures, so many different environments and contexts and geographies.Hiding is killing us. Silencing ourselves is killing us. Being small and puny is killing us. Forcing ourselves to be less than who we are so that others will ... Continue Reading >>
Tension as a way of knowing I’m alive?
I’m restless again. It’s not that I don’t have enough to do! I could make calls, send emails, talk with/see people, write articles/books; record and edit for 18 hours a day and still have more to do – but that’s not it.It’s not about getting things done or even making a difference. It’s not about what we do or the outcome we get. It’s about how we go ... Continue Reading >>
