Sunday Reading – 84 Problems

Sunday Reading – How do you live?

To me, it’s all a matter of perception. I don’t search for happiness. Happiness is a by-product of living life well. Instead of looking at decisions as good or bad, right or wrong, I try to see it vertically. Am I making the highest choice?

Sunday Reading – Grief

The process of grief is different for us all.

Sometimes the key to balance and awakening is just allowing and resting. There is a quote from the mystic poet Rumi: “This rain-weeping and sun-burning twine together to help us grow. Keep your intelligence white hot and your grief glistening, so your life will stay fresh.”

The Truth of Impermanence – Sunday Reading

When we encounter difficulty, we often ask: “Why me? What did I do to deserve this?” We look at all of life from our own personal viewpoint, seeing ourselves as fixed features in a world fraught with all kinds of bodily harm and unexpected danger. Even as we grow older, we worry about the inevitable changes our […]

We claim it by choosing to be true to the highest and best that we know, and […]
