Religious Zeal

Faltering
Direction unclear
Which way to go
Directions needed

Faltering
Missing guidance
Future being unwanted
Solution sought

When a person is faltering in the way to go in life, religious zeal can grab hold. When guidance from respected family or peers is lacking, religious zeal can offer appeal. When future possibilities cause resistance or disappointment, religious zeal can uplift.

Religious zeal takes place when imbalance resides in a person. The imbalance can be emotional or spiritual,...

Soul Workshop

Tomorrow I will be presenting the “Getting to Know Your Soul” workshop for the third time. I’m reviewing Awaiting Light–Understanding the Development of the Soul in preparation. Each time I read this book, I am amazed by the information.

Here are excerpts from the book that wowme each time I read them:

“The soul leads the body towards survival, but the bodyis responsible for survival activities. Thesoul informs the body, but the body can ignore the subtle signals. The soul wants acceptance,...

Sometimes the Least Boisterous Person is the True Star—The Dos & Dont’s of Notice

(taken from my article of the same title on HealingAnswers.com and reposted from 5-27-14)

In a gathering, there usually are the people who stand out. They generate more buzz, they attract attention. There are the people who mill around the buzz-makers and there are the people who make the buzz in the background.

The background buzz-makers are the real ones to follow, but they often don’t make the fuss that generates the action. These people do acts of kindness, make others comfortable, fulfi...

“Zoo Conversations—Giving Voices to the Animals, A Play” has been published!

I am pleased to announce that “Zoo Conversations”has been published on amazon.com.In this short play, the lives of ten animals living in a zoo are explored, as well as the frustrations of the dedicated people working at zoos. “Zoo Conversations” is a play for young and old.

Dis tr a c ting

I should be working on activities for my next workshop and I should be immersed in one of the several books I am writing, but instead I let myself get distracted by Facebook and news stories about politicians and topics that have little meaning inmy life. I get distracted by unimportant errands and Sudoku. I even focus on dusting rather than on the writing that is SO much more important.

You would think that I, with the constant prodding by Spiritual Presence, would stay focused, but no, I...

Suffering unexplainedly

Pains in the back or the teeth or the head or the abdomen or the back fontanel or the legs. And in other places as well. Pain that is suffered day in and day out or intermittently without reason for years or months or always. Pain that is debilitating or sort of debilitating or debilitating but withstandable. Pain that is examined and named and dulled and excised—with a scapel or a drill or a laser. Pain that is medicated away or pressed away or slept away.

Pain that always comes back.

Alone

Alone
Lone
One

One alone
Is consuming

Alone sadly
Is loneness deafening

Alone purposely
Is loneness possible

Alone freshly
Is loneness submerged

Alone soulfully
Is loneness building

Loneness felt
Is loneness truly

Being alone
Strokes or overwhelms
With self-inspired vengeance

Being alone lonely
Is loneness undesirable

Being alone creatively
Is loneness directed

Forgiveness

Forgiveness is uplifting. It elevates figuratively and literally. Forgiveness can open a person to soulful living and it can inspire a person to stand taller.

“Give” is placed in the middle of the word. To give hurt feelings a chance to recede or disperse brings momentum for moving on. To give the memories of painful experiences permission to leave or stay buried brings acceptance for the uncertainties in life.

Forgiving circumstances to which we are born is needed. Forgiving natural or man-...

Intersections: Choosing to Turn

Intersect, v. 1. to divide by passing across. 2. to assist by providing choices.

Intersections present themselves to us as we walk the path of life. The going straight is never really straight and the intersecting criss-crossings present themselves as crises or connections, suggestions from strangers or friends, and hunches or self-confirmations of soulful longings.

Each intersection provides an opportunity to choose actions, thoughts, and impact. The intersection can be minor, like decidin...
