Loving Peace

It is in the stillness of our heart that we find the peace we seek in the world. It is the connection deep within to the very source of our being where we recognize the oneness of life. It is here that we transcend the duality of perceived right and wrong thinking, judgment, control and attachment. In this awareness, we let go of the need to have the world behave according to our preconceived expectations and we dare to love unconditionally. We embrace love for love’s sake and in doing so, we… Continue

A Return to Sanity

I went utterly insane once, so believe me when I tell you I know exactly what it feels like. For a time during my experience I believed I was immortal and didn't need to ever eat or sleep again. I believed I could stare at the sun and receive cosmic information in the form of digestible light packets. I believed all I had to do was wish for something and it would come true for the world. I believed I could pick up an angry rattlesnake that had accidentally become trapped in our bedroom and… Continue

THOUGHT FOR TODAY:

All I ask is this: Do something. Try something.
Speaking out, showing up, writing a letter, a check,
a strongly worded e-mail.
Pick a cause -- there are few unworthy ones.
And nudge yourself past the brink of tacit support to action.
Once a month, once a year, or just once.

-Joss Whedon, writer and
film director (b. 1964)

THOUGHT FOR TODAY:

"Did God have a mother?"

Children, when told that God made the heavens and the earth, innocently ask whether God had a mother.

This deceptively simple question has stumped the elders of the church and embarrassed the finest theologians,

precipitating some of the thorniest theological debates over the centuries.

All the great religions have elaborate mythologies surrounding the divine act of Creation, but none of them adequately confronts the logical paradoxes inherent in the… Continue

THOUGHT FOR TODAY:

Human nature will not flourish, any more than a potato,
if it be planted and replanted, for too long a series of generations,
in the same worn-out soil.
My children have had other birthplaces, and, so far as their fortunes
may be within my control, shall strike their roots into unaccustomed earth.

-Nathaniel Hawthorne,
writer (1804-1864)

THOUGHT FOR TODAY:

Some humans would do anything to see
if it was possible to do it.
If you put a large switch in some cave somewhere,
with a sign on it saying 'End-of-the-World Switch.
PLEASE DO NOT TOUCH',
the paint wouldn't even have time to dry.

-Terry Pratchett,
novelist (b. 1948)
