Fortune smiles on us, for we are blessed in abundance.  Let us exploit the resources of generosity, compassion, and loving action, for they are truly limitless.  Individually we may feel drained on occasion, even daily, of such assets, but as a universal collective they can not be depleted.  We have an obligation to each other… read more

May today be ordinary in every way: may the sun rise as usual.  May we draw breath.  May the leaves fall.  May our telephones ring.  May people come and go.  May the surgery be a success.  May the car start.  May the rain know to fall.  May the cat stretch its back.  May we fall… read more

Today we pray for patience and perseverance.  We have many outside forces competing for our energy and our industry, many impulses to distract our attention.  Much as we might want to ignore them, often we simply can not.  May this practice give us the tools to not be brought down by the demands of a… read more

In this season of our lives, let us carve out our vision of where we are, of where we have been, and of where we aspire to go.  Let us gently mark this time and place, for others to follow.  Let us seek the signs of those who have gone before, gently guiding and encouraging… read more
