May we guard against boredom this day: if our time is precious, how great a sin is boredom?  If we are listless, how can we shift our focus to a worthy enterprise?  We need not be constantly active, or trying to solve some great problem.  And yet, the sense of boredom suggests we’ve become completely… read more

Let us remember that forgiveness is one of the greatest gifts we can give to each other.  Forgiveness is an active verb, to be offered rather than asked for.  We will often regret our actions, and we must appropriately apologize.  Forgiveness must come from the offended, genuinely and unconditionally.  May we offer our forgiveness often… read more

Let us enjoy warmth, not for fear of cold, but rather in celebration of cold.  Let us not fear darkness, but rather rejoice in its opportunity to seek light.  The cosmic pendulum swings ever on, and we must step to its cadence.  To resist the divine metronome is to forever be out of step with… read more

May we eat and drink deeply at the table of Life.  Let us seek out new experiences, for in so doing we are building our own narrative.  Life is memories; memories are moments of intense feeling and revelation.  They are created only through experience, so the more we Do, the more we live.  But let… read more

Let us say Thank You not through compulsion, but rather because it is the only prayer we know in our hearts.  Blessed Be, and Amen.… read more

Let us give ourselves over to the breezes of Be-ing, leaning in to the full force of our existence.  Trust the gravity of time and experience.  Have faith in intrinsic understanding.  We shall be sustained; we have the resources necessary to withstand, to heal, and to forge on.  Trust is a virtue, and we owe… read more
