Ties That Bond

January 28, 2021

As we move through tumultuous times, I have been thinking about how we venture forward together. In these times of national divisiveness when our friends and neighbors and families may subscribe to views of truth and reality that are often not only inconsistent with our own, but diametrically opposed, how do we avoid conflict?  More importantly, how do we engage in loving receptivity?  How do we come together—and hopefully stay together? I think the answer lies in how we look at our relationships—what we focus on. It is important not to get lost in our differences, seeing them as ties that … [Read more...]

Free Will

November 11, 2011

Free will is complicated. We all have it, and we all want it—as long as it is our own free will we are exercising.  But it is more difficult when someone else is exercising their own free will—against our interests or better judgment.  Whether it is a two year old throwing a tantrum or self-governing nations in armed dispute, it comes down to a battle of wills.

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...]
