l've been looking away

running out of things to say

and the atrocities seem to worsen

with the passing of each new day

I still pray

but l've been looking away

And when I look

I am bone-shook

there is no part of my fragile humanity

that is let off the hook

I am mute

I've been looking away

I've run out of things to say

but I know we cannot grow

if we do not show

our horror

our care…

“You don't look out there for God,

something in the sky,

"Thoughts and ideas are as natural to the human mind as the clouds come and go in the sky. Our mind will grows thoughts as a field grows the seed which fall on it. Our mind creates seed conditions which then unfold and grow into the creation we desire. Our emotions water and nourish the thought causing us to act to manifest them in the world. We each need to learn to garden our minds much the way a gardener weeds and tends to their garden."

"The thing that bothered me the most was when I had to return to the public eye in ’95 or ’96 when my husband died. We lived a very simple lifestyle in a more reclusive way in which he was king of our domain. I don’t drive, I didn’t have much of an income, and without him, I…

Create connections rather than disconnections

Create belonging rather than separation.

Create co-operation rather than discord.

Every time you open your mouth there is an opportunity to choose to plant fertile seeds of connection or sour seeds of disconnection.

In today's times, we need all the collective connections we can…

"Our life is like a vast net connecting us to all other lives on this planet, and each part of this net is linked to all of the rest. The essence of our life is not limited within the confines of our bodies but rather is distributed across all the people and things that we are connected to. To think about our life in a way that treats…

"Resting our awareness on the breath, we focus on the present moment, not chasing after memories from the past or speculating about the future. Through practices such as this, inner contentment can grow progressively. Sometimes when we feel a little helpless, or think we lack something, or feel lost, if we remember to focus on our…
