  • Roses and Evergreens. . . what happened to the dream?

      We Are The God Participants and We Carry the Dream. . . . My stamina is low or nil.  I think I can do something because my head envisions,  but my body does not follow.  I spend time now waiting for this national nightmare  to end and find others adding to the nightmare.  I…

  • Everlasting Life: caterpillar to butterfly. . . .

    In this spiritual week for us so inclined, memory is mine of those who have transited from my  life.  All my beloveds come to mind, but one incident from the children’s younger days stays with me with more clarity because of my path. I was standing at the door of the room shared by the…

  • The Morning Will Rise Triumphant. . .

    Value Systems. . . A value system is what is honed by a lifetime or many lifetimes lived as Beings,  and not necessarily only as the human that we know.  It can reflect lifetimes of worlds not visible to the human system of values or cognizance of them. What the value system will show is…

  • The World I Worked To Build. . .

    The World I Worked To Build. . . Where hearts open to each other, where minds are keen on learning, and where love intends to see its full bloom.  Where beings are intent on growing to their fullness and work becomes a blessing. Do I want much? I want only what I worked and hoped…
