  • A Chance For Love. . .

    A Chance For Love. . . Each time is a new time. Cast in the shadow of a rock, a cave, or even a cove. . . Simply set and inspired by a rolling coast, a sunset, a glimpse of a new place. . . New tidings of good cheer; a glass of sweet wine,…

  • The Uncovering. . . .

      Teach The Lessons Well. . . Again from a journal entry the Teacher speaks on evolution. . . in the evolution of genes,  in cleaning up genetic history, we talk of literally thousands of years.  But with emphasis not on the helplessness of man,  but with concerted thought and concerted direction,  there can be…

  • Happy Thanksgiving. . . my heart’s gratitude. . .

    How Much Of A Difference. . . It was morning, though the night still hung heavy; the clouds hovered, the sun unable to rise.

  • Love Is The Currency. . .

    ( I had written. . . )  I really need some one to listen to my words and consider them and tell me there is rest and love and ultimate design in all this.  That I can look at the morning and not feel it will be snatched by high noon.  That I can walk…

  • By Example We Teach. . .

    All Things Are Connected. . . No matter the outcome of any event, the process of integrating is uppermost within the chest of treasures.  It is not that all things are diverse, but that all things are connected in a way that is concealed and discernment is required for enlightenment. Rubies are connected to stones…

  • There Is Still Time. . .
