December 16, 2021 Be bold. Find your magic. Chase the impossible. ~Devney Perry I really want instant manifestation, and I really want it…now.

Ludicrous, because I can […]

December 9, 2021 He held my hand with a trembling hand. “Come, let’s have a roof over our heads awhile. Look, further on ahead, there between truth and falsehood, a little empty space.” ~Amrita Pritam (tr. D.H. Tracy and Mohan Tracy), Empty Space Wanting to write is not the same as having something to […]
December 4, 2021 …we settle for desire…for a life like too much water, shallow & wide, for enough salt to make a little sea. ~Renée Ashley, Salt to Make a Sea I am in a place of great quiet this morning. As if I’m in a small boat on a vast and silent sea. […]
December 2, 2021 …More and more I’m satisfied with partial explanations like a fly with one wing, walking. ~Dean Young, Quiet Grass, Green Stone Pain is a nutcracker. I wonder if it will go away now that it’s cracked open a deeper heart connection? It’s as if an opaque gray geode has been smacked […]
November 30, 2021 My Bonnie lies over the ocean, My Bonnie lies over the sea, My Bonnie lies over the ocean, Oh, bring back my Bonnie to me. ~Traditional folksong, My Bonnie Lies Over The Ocean Sometimes it feels like “my Bonnie,” my good, is always over there, just out of reach, on the […]
November 27, 2021 By Terry Andrews, TerryAndrews.org, https://tinyurl.com/2s39vvus I love to hear people’s stories of how they got to where they are. I’ve always been fascinated by the twists and turns and synchronicities that lead us to where we are going. In my own life I can look back and see the bread crumbs that […]
November 27, 2021 They come as secretly as dreams at night To stand near doorways or upon the stairs Almost like guests, congenial and polite… Perhaps you are aware. Perhaps you dial Emergency for help. Perhaps you throw A window open, shouting desperately while They seize you, hush you, leave with you—although A brave policeman […]
November 25, 2021 …In time, you know Yourself thoroughly rotten For hating yourself so. ~David Galler, Self-Hatred It’s shocking to come across a really ugly emotion like self-hatred. A bit like discovering that a ferocious troll has replaced your cute little garden gnome. I know our shadows keep reappearing to be observed and released. […]
November 21, 2021 by Terry Andrews (TerryAndrews.org, https://tinyurl.com/fcudm2yj) This past week, we had another big shift, moving us even further into the new realm.

November 20, 2021 Obey thy heart… Souls above doubt, Valor unbending, It will reward,— They shall return More than they were, And ever ascending. ~Ralph Waldo Emerson, Give All to Love Yesterday, I witnessed an act of kindness delivered to a homeless person sitting on a fireplug at an intersection in the middle of […]
November 18, 2021 I make a list of things I have to remember and a list of things I want to forget, but I see they are the same list… perhaps God listed what to create in a week: earth and oceans, the armature of heaven, with a place to fasten every star… ~Linda Pastan, […]
November 17, 2021 Glendower: I can call the spirits from the vasty deep. Hotspur: Why, so can I, or so can any man; But will they come, when you do call for them? ~William Shakespeare, King Henry IV, Part 1 I wish my direct line to Spirit didn’t seem to have so much static. […]
November 16, 2021 The way a crow Shook down on me The dust of snow From a hemlock tree Has given my heart A change of mood And saved some part Of a day I had rued. ~Robert Frost, Dust of Snow I keep hoping every time I bump up against the insanity of […]
