Gift from a Horse: A Reprise
May 20, 2023
Because I am still recovering from covid and my mind is fuzzy and my body is fatigued, I am reposting someting from five years ago which still feels important to me, and I hope will be useful to you. See you next month with new content...read more
A Little Break
March 21, 2023
Taking a break from writing a blog this month to honor my energy. But sharing a painting that soothes me and might nurture you too.read more
Color Amid the Snow
February 20, 2023
I'm almost buried in snow here, and crabby. I crave COLOR. So in the hope that you could use some color too--even those of you in warmer climates--I will fill this post with bright hues instead of more words. Random acts of gaudy art.read more
Searching for Words in a Fog
January 21, 2023
When struggling for words for a blog, sometimes play--especially wordplay--is helpful for me to get out of any pomposity. Here is a limerick about that, for your amusement.read more
Solstice Blessings
December 19, 2022
I'm posting a little early this month to honor the winter solstice, and to send love your way during this holiday time. The longest night of the year. Sitting still in the darkness what might I hear? Do you honor the winter solstice? How?read more
On Thanksgiving
November 22, 2022

Halloween Trick Becomes a Startling Treat
October 23, 2022
A true story about a Halloween party trick in 1976 that abruptly shifted my understanding, an understanding that persists to this day.read more
A Mystery of Childhood Mementos
September 24, 2022
Other than writing and art, I have saved only two items from my childhood (though one was only recently donated). And why I saved one of them is a mystery to me. Here is the story.read more
Earth Prayers--A Reprise
August 5, 2022
A year ago, after a couple trips to Lake Superior, I posted how I had begun there a regular practice of creating earth altars---how energizing it was to create them, why and how I created them (as an intuitive co-creation with the life around me and anchored by an intentional blessing), and why I saw each one as "a love offering, a blessing prayer, a piece of art, and an exercise in letting go." This year I created three earth altars during my 11 day trip to Lake Superior, and I'd love to share them with you.read more
Angry
June 28, 2022
I’m angry. You know why. I bet you’re angry too. At times my fury creates hostile, venomous fantasies against the cabal that wants to control everyone that isn’t just like them. But I don’t want to intensify the poison in the air. Spewing malice is self-indulgence that doesn’t create what I want to see. So what do I do with my anger right now? read more
Generations and Generations
May 29, 2022
An experience I had in 2015 on a spiritual tour in Ireland popped into mind. I haven’t thought about it for a long time, yet it was one of the most powerful experiences I had there. And it is asking to be told today, Memorial Day.read more
Color and Line
March 2, 2022
When world events rob me of words, intuitively using color and line can help me understand, balance and move my emotions. And provide relief. And sometimes a new vision.read more
A Pictorial Check-in
January 31, 2022
Still wrapped in the silence of winter, this month's blog check-in is done with pictures more than words. Color and line speak louder than words to me at this time.read more
Inspiration from the Sands
January 2, 2022
I am having trouble absorbing the end of 2021 and embracing 2022 after our family trip to Oregon. More than an easel for nature’s artistry, one of the beaches we visited in Oregon strikes me as inspiration for how to live in these transformational times, how to enter 2022 with strength.read more
A Holiday Atmosphere
December 4, 2021
If you could create a national holiday, what would it be and why? That was one of the questions I posed to a group of dear friends who gathered on zoom during Thanksgiving weekend. The question seemed like a playful and creative break from the heaviness and intensity of our world right now. Welcome in the moment. But maybe it’s more important than that.read more
A Deathbed Reclamation
November 1, 2021
Today is November 2, the culmination of an auspicious period for honoring the dead. It is also my dad’s 101st birthday. So I’m going to tell you a story about my dad, a kind of ghost story because it took place at his death. Yet it gave me great joy and filled me with awe.read more
Welcome to Whisperings
“There is a place where words are born of silence,
A place where the whispers of the heart arise.”
— Rumi
I will ponder here what whispers to me in the silence. I’d love for you to whisper back; maybe we will all get clearer—or maybe, like in the old kids’ game of “telephone” we will end up somewhere else entirely (which would be fun too)
