Do to others as I would have them do to me
Towards our soul’s longing for harmony, cooperation, sharing and reverence for life With a shiver, I look up for a moment, wondering where last week’s warm sunshine and relaxed atmosphere have gone. Outside my window, choppy waves crash against the shore and even inside the harbour boats bob about, turning on their anchors as the […]
Seeking Renewal
How do we step out of a time of forgetting? Life-death-rebirth, the repeating three-day cycle continues! I’ve been actively seeking renewal, keeping watch for it, writing about it, calling it forth. I shouldn’t be surprised then that I’m feeling its unfolding! Have you noticed the signature pattern in your life? Here we are at the full […]

Notes from November 2022

Approaching Winter – October 2022
