I'm in Quebec City for a few days, hanging out with my mother and shopping. I had no idea she could move that fast. It would seem that to her, the sound of doors opening at 9:00 a.m. is akin to that of a starter pistol. Although it's only been three days, I feel somehow rekindled and ready for more! Who would have thought that treking through shopping ... Continue Reading >>

Before healing comes awakening
For days, now, this phrase has been going through my mind: "Before healing comes awakening". Over and over again, this same thought repeating itself, obviously intent on staying in my awareness until I do something with it! Today is the day.It makes sense to me. What it says to me is that dis-ease or illness is an indication of a being in a deep sleep ... Continue Reading >>

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. However, to do this, we would each have to recognize the part we play in its ongoing manifestation, rather than stand ... Continue Reading >>
