Interesting.... A look at human behaviour through the lens of a rigorous scrutiny of patterns and trends. Connecting dots. Noticing the bigger picture and watching as the waves of insight race toward the shore of our seemingly finite capacity to absorb the impact of our own realizations. This is a deep dive that requires the same rigour ... Continue Reading >>

In a Chaotic World: making room for RIG
In the Spirit of these times, perhaps what would most support Life is not more 'stuff' (or a sense of obligation to engage when under its thin veneer lurks fear, agitation and a nagging sense of the unknown and unknowable) but instead, the simplicity of an intentional pause to reclaim the internal sovereignty that is our Divinity... waiting to be ...

Resourceful and Resilient
Sometimes, we forget we're up for it... with 'it' being an intentional outcome of our own choosing. Just because 'the world' (out there) is not yet designed to facilitate it, does not mean that its facilitation is not possible. In the face of what seems to be the impossible, consider that its presence is really the provocation to consider: "How badly do ... Continue Reading >>
Transhumanism: A Walk on the Wild Side
Whatever we face, there is always a version of it and then a lighter version. The degree to which we are both willing and able to tolerate an assault on our existing structures of beliefs/values/attitudes (i.e. reality) will dictate which version we choose for ourselves. Personally? I have always preferred the deep end of the pool. Given this particular ... Continue Reading >>
Wise Women ~ Wise Words
It helps to have something to think about that expands potential rather than compressing it. It's a choice, really, and that choice shapes your world. It has long been understood by many: we become what we think about. Here are some things for you to consider thinking about. And remember: anything that we have created was first a thought in someone's ... Continue Reading >>
Simple Choices – Complex Results
In my retirement, my attention has turned to recognizing, acknowledging and deeply appreciating how immensely fortunate I am to have family and friends that I cherish. For decades, I was drawn to engage in what was, for me, the only way I knew how: caring about and focused on how we, as human beings, were expressing so far below what was possible for us; and ...

Deep Dive: Day 2 – Perception, Judgement, Creation
Thank you all, for being here. It is evident to me that the collective mind that we are, knows something. It is evident to me that we are willing to know what we know, in the face of the absence of any evidence for ‘it’ to be known or ‘real’. I am reminded of a summer storm. The sun is still out… but the wind changes. It ‘feels’ different; blows differently; ... Continue Reading >>
Finding my tribe…
Perhaps, if we can find grace in our own mortality, we can find courage in our day-to-day expression of Life. One of the great benefits of ‘retirement’ is a redistribution of time. Same number of hours in a day - different allocation of how I embrace them. So often, I would be frustrated by the many, many books, articles, videos, podcasts, etc. that I ... Continue Reading >>
Whispers from Within: Day 9
Good morning! Day 9: the penultimate, in this journey of inner exploration. We are almost complete, ever mindful that we can begin anew anytime we choose. There is never an end - only pauses along the way to live out discoveries and re-awaken the desire for yet another deep dive into the unclaimed possibilities. How does it go? The purported Chinese ... Continue Reading >>
Whispers from Within: Day 7
Good morning! In my own life and with others, I became aware of patterns and how these patterns, themselves, become the very fabric of our existence; aware that they come to shape our very lives into what we come to call ‘reality’. These patterns come to be relied upon as not only the right thing and the appropriate thing, but the essential thing for our ... Continue Reading >>
Whispers from Within: Day 6
Good morning! It has been the longest 5 days of my life! :) Great surges of insight! Deep undulations, reminiscent of those from so long ago. Churning and swirling and twisting….. constant movement of the Soul, as is to be expected when a Great Journey is undertaken. And in this moment, calm. This is what it must be to enter into the eye of a ... Continue Reading >>
Whispers from Within: Day 5
Good morning, All! Today, I feel the wrenching. And the truth is: sometimes, when something has been fixed for so long, the wrenching is required for it to be dislodged. A very, very old wave activates as I notice an inner voice speaking to me, in the timbre and cadence of a much younger me, chastising that I have gone too far. That I have asked too ...

Whispers from Within: Day 4
Good morning! As I settle comfortably at the keyboard… first coffee of the day gratefully within easy reach… I am mindful of the sounds of a new day beginning, as they stream through the open window behind me. The light of dawn and dusk hold a special promise. Light softened yet still allowing for all to be seen, there is a peace as the harsh light of day ... Continue Reading >>
Whispers from Within: Day 3
Good morning, All! The dawning of Day 3 and already, it feels as if we have been here for weeks! Clearly, I am in the right place, at the right time and with the right people. With every thought you share, my own expand. The awakening of internal cues is palpable. As I read, I am aware of the great courage that it takes to dive so quickly into the ... Continue Reading >>
Whispers from Within: Day 2
Good morning! An earlier start to my day, today, as I am off to Carleton U for a lecture series on astronomy. Yup, not much to do with anything I usually do, and I’m loving it! What great joy to read your insights about yourself, revealed and shared! I have long known - for myself and in my life - that in the choice between willing and able, willing is ...
