Politics, Truth and Compassion

September 27, 2012

Are you as worn out from this election season as I am?  I am beyond weary from fending off the incoming—all kinds of energetic approaches vying for my mental, psychic and emotional attention, ranging from snail mail, email, print and TV ads, the endless coverage by the media of each side’s daily talking points and the innumerable partisan surrogates appearing on behalf of each agenda, and, most difficult of all to bear, the relentless sniping and small hearted negative attacks that appear to be acceptable terms of engagement in politics.  We are all being subjected to energetic fields replete … [Read more...]

The Light Shines Through Many Windows

July 12, 2012

I got to thinking recently about belief systems after listening to a radio interview with writer and director Kenneth Lonergan (about his film Margaret, now out in an extended DVD version).  What caught my attention was his description of himself as a “committed atheist,” and more particularly his explanation of why.  In his view, all religions are creations, stories, myths, that are constructed as a way of trying to understand something that is not comprehensible.  In other words, we create belief systems to help us wrap our minds around things we can not understand. Things like why are we … [Read more...]

True North

May 7, 2011

Do you know your “true north”?  Or how to find it? True north is a navigational direction based on the Earth’s axis. Magnetic north—the north a compass needle points to—deviates from true north over time and from place to place because the earth's magnetic poles are not fixed in relation to its axis.  True north is fixed and certain. But the  “true north” that I am referring to is your personal navigation marker, the one based on your own inner axis—that is, your alignment with your true, authentic self.  This is the pointer that allows you to successfully find the way in your life, and … [Read more...]

Pathways

September 29, 2010

As Fall brings transition, I have been thinking about the nature of pathways:  the choosing, the traversing, and sometimes foraging when the path disappears.  And then arriving, finding where the path takes you.  How did you get there?  What did you bring with you? What did you find on the way?  How difficult was the passage?  Where are you now? Choosing your path, trying to figure out what is the “right” path, for you, is not easy. And, things are not always as they appear.  The soft and sunlit path in the woods, so gentle and inviting, may take you through rough terrain ahead that you … [Read more...]

Declare Your Independence!

July 2, 2010

Do you remember who you are? As we turn to July 4th and celebrate the declaration of freedom, I am reminded that political independence is necessarily founded upon a deeply held value of personal independence. It is your birthright to be your unique self. By self, I mean you in all your aspects, inner and outer, full and strong and beautiful and wholly integrated. This seems such a simple statement. Yet, we face all sorts of obstruction, much of it well meaning, that nevertheless suppresses our abilities to thrive in “full-selfness” and be and give from our individuality and our … [Read more...]
