Last night I came home after celebrating at the Latin music night, and put my daughter to sleep. As I turned off the lights to go to sleep, I glance in the other room to discover this strange light coming from the room. I would like to think that the angels were around. For the skeptic, maybe the light is some weird reflection, or fluke. I prefer to think the angels stopped by to celebrate and say they are around.... Read more
My Daughter: Dad? Me: Yep. My Daughter: No one looks happy. Me: Maybe they have a lot on their mind. My Daughter: What is on their mind?

Real love is not about getting anything, it is about giving it all. Now... Read more

Become a lover of the earth and you will reclaim a very ancient truth of your own soul: you were born to enjoy the earth and to protect it.The land you walk on is a sacred miracle, a most intimate manifestation of the Divine....

One of the reasons I continue to write this blog is the emails I receive after some of my posts. Some people send questions, some send comments, some share their disgust, and some share their distaste. What is wonderful about all the emails that I receive, is the willingness to dialogue about who we are, to go inward, and ask questions. Gandhi suggested that when we introduce a new way, a new idea, it will be met with resistance, then... Read more
Many people in spiritual circles admonish the “Ego”. Some call it the enemy, some come up with clever phrases about it, such as “Electing God Out”, yet as we begin to move in our practice through meditation, prayer, contemplation, self-reflection, and discernment, we begin to discover that this so called enemy is really just lost and yet we identifying with it as who we are, so we are lost. As we move closer to who we really are, which is... Read more

As they continued their conversation, he asked, “How is it going?” She sighed, “Well staying off drugs and not drinking is a moment by moment experience, but I continue to stay here and stay grounded in support and love.” He listened, then...
