A global project focused on friendship, peace, harmony and emphasizing listening. (1) As a proponent of listening, I am in heaven.

Seeing the script I have playing – and the discoveries that it’s leading to – is like an earthquake in my life. (1) And it’s led to numerous aftershocks. It’s opened the door for me to complete the cycle of domestic abuse that occurred in our household. It’s led to me see the identity I […]
Leaving aside the various questions we may have about the Bible’s accuracy, (1) Luke quotes Jesus in Chapter 12: 52-3 as saying: “For from henceforth there shall be five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three. “The father shall be divided against the son, and the son against the father; the […]
I need to take my mind off what’s happening in the world, which feels so saddening. So, as I mentioned yesterday, I’m revisiting and revising my book of articles on listening as a useful but remedial exercise.

(email) Listening doesn’t make you a part of someone else’s narrative. It offers a witness to someone’s pain that uses the power of voice to ultimately set itself free. Everyone needs to be heard in order for progress to unfold. This is why we take turns in conversations, sharing and listening, until there is no […]
https://tinyurl.com/yc48pwul My dear friend of thirty years, Bob Beale, died a few days ago. Some of you knew him as one of the early ACIM supporters, some of you knew of him as an amazing business consultant and author, and many of my close friends knew of him from me–because I spoke so often of […]
I was just listening to a friend who was never listened to as a child. I had that same difficulty so I could relate. One of the major ways a child experiences a parent’s love is by hearing words of love in loving intonations. The parent who doesn’t listen to a child probably … well, […]
(via email) Feeling stuck occurs when the one who needs more rest and rejuvenation thinks its time to move forward. When its time to advance, nothing can stop you from taking each step. When rest is required, the grace of divine timing will counter any degree of forward movement and do everything in its power […]
Archangel Michael was discussing the future of the blog with me in mid-2019 and I was beginning to get a bit frightened. I said to him, requesting clarification, “I’m not very social.” And he replied: AAM: I am not saying, dear heart, that you need to attend cocktail parties. Steve: Yes, thank you. I’d like […]

Albert said, “All of the Universe is patterned on the Mother, the Father, […]
…when the air comes to you, when the breeze or the sunshine comes to you, and you say, “Thank you – thank you for this gift!” take a moment and feel the air and the sand and the sunshine and the breeze and the water saying, “Thank you!” back… This beautiful channelled gem is lovingly […]
I’ve just had an eery experience. Listening to a friend, I heard details of her story that made the whole of her self-presentation at that moment shift from being a mystery to me to being clearly and instantly understandable. Everything about the way she was in a certain area of her life was now crystal […]
