One cannot ask why bad things happen to good people without also feeling the same tinge of injustice when we contemplate why good things happen to bad people. This is the question that anguished the Psalmist. He found himself in terrible distress and agony of soul.

Who would have thought that a plant could be a witness to a crime – and even testify against the perpetrator? Well, it is true! In the early 1970’s experiments were done on ordinary houseplants, by researchers who connected a polygraph machine to a plant.

“Faith is an openness and trusting attitude to truth and reality, whatever it may turn out to be. This is a risky and adventurous state of mind. Belief in the religious sense, is the opposite of faith - because it is a fervent wishing or hope, a compulsive clinging to the idea that the universe is arranged and governed in such and such a way. Belief is holding to a rock; faith is learning how to swim - and this whole universe swims in boundless space.” - Alan Watts

The cost of freedom is not free! A reminder on this Memorial Day weekend of the cost.

We are living in highly challenged times. Our mass consciousness directly reflects the discord in which many of us find ourselves within our own personal lives...

Awareness constantly leads to more questions. The closer you get the farther away you are. One morning after years of writing, all the questions came up at once and then the next day the answers. The same questions and answers. Life is about experiencing all aspects of being from every conceivable angle, and so the questions may seem the same but the answers are slightely different each time. I have come to realize that the questions are more important than the answers.

Spirituality is an important part of living a balanced, peaceful and fulfilling life. This article discusses the many reasons moms need God in their lives, and the benefits of having amazing faith.

Even Pandora and her box come in two versions. In one, the hideous woes of the world are let loose while locking hope inside. In another, life’s joys are allowed to overflow their container, leaving the dark behind. In both versions, the light and dark of all metaphor clearly exists in perpetuity.

For some of us, EVERY DAY IS HALLOWEEN!!! If you want to be unusual dress up as a nurse, secretary, grocery clerk or bank teller this year. Gypsy, vampires and shaman wanna-bes are everywhere already!

Everyday we make thousands of judgments about people, places, situations and events. Judgment can protect us and keep us from making mistakes but judgment can also prevent us from seeing clearly. So how do we know the difference?

Why are we really here? Do we have a destination to fulfill or is our existence just by chance? The answer is yes, we have a definite purpose on this earth. Do you know what yours is?

You really want to be spiritual, but things keep getting in the way. Distractions, noisy and unsettling, come between you and where you want to focus your attention. True spirituality involves developing the ability, not to get rid of the annoyances, but to look past them, or even to see through them to view what is really significant and permanent.

Here is a small fairy tale for the child within you to enjoy. It's directed at your heart, rather than your head. It's about the things that really matter to us within.

The world is too much with us. And because it is, we disconnect from our power. This power arises from being centered in ourselves, feeling peaceful and knowing what we believe in. When we are whole, our world will be whole.

Like a white-washed tomb, the beautiful externals of a hypocrite's life conceal a horrible inner corruption. But some hypocrites are so good at their art that they are more like unmarked graves--you get defiled being around them, and you don't even realize what's happening. The challenge is to avoid being either kind of grave by working a being transparently honest in all of your relationships.

For the past several years I have struggled with getting (and staying) fit. Ok I admit it, the struggle has been longer than just a few years. As a kid, instead of playing nicely with the girls, I fought with the neighborhood boys. I attempted to join their fun and received new scars weekly in bloody games of soccer. I was always the last one picked to play on the kickball team and, as the catcher of my 5th grade softball team, I pummeled the pitcher in the head with a fast ball. Uncoordinated in team sports, I succeeded only at baton twirling which was fun but I barely broke a sweat. After failures in group sports I thought I'd try running so, a few years ago I attempted to train for a half marathon. I ended up limping home in tears and thought I’d never exercise again. (I couldn't even MOVE after that, much less exercise!)
