Give me the light but keep the hot heat of summers. Light feeds the spirit with rays of life fulfilling bliss that can survive through long days. In the light, we find a sense of worth to our life which helps us through any darkness that may cast a shadow on our path.

Coming to terms with accepting ourselves with loving compassion is proof that aging is such a blessing. We spend too much of our younger years caught up in comparing who we are with others.

In truth, God is not something we can understand in our brains, but rather something we feel in our hearts, something spiritual that we sense and trust and give ourselves over to, something in our cells, in our beats and our breaths and our blinks.

When we fully believe in her love for us, celebrate all the gifts she offers, and completely accept the necessity of the cycles of life, which include death and birth, then we will know ourselves as eternal beings.

I sense your presence prowling like a tiger, pushing me, pursuing me, restless yourself until I change. I trust you enough to give you my anger, my loneliness, my discontent.... You are my support, and I am grateful for your presence which uplifts my soul.

For us introverts, silence is one way to rejuvenate our spiritual energy. Spending quiet time in open spaces deepens the spiritual experience.

Let us sit together in communion with the One who created all this. Let us contemplate the Creator’s infinite wonder. Let us Be one with our Creator, as in truth, the Creator has always been one with us. May your love fill the universe.

The painting demonstrates strong human emotions towards one another. This family of disciples are desperate for a miracle, something, someone, to soothe and heal their troubled soul.

You may have noticed that life seems to be more complex today than several years ago. No matter what our needs are, the choices are numerous. And most items tend to specialize with particular features.

Living lightly is a mindset that can be learned. We can choose to be attentive to positive thoughts which will draw us into the Light.

Given today’s current world instability, besides praying, we can sit in our quietness, focus on our inner self, come to a place of peace, and begin through compassion and love to calmly influence others.

If we follow our calling, our deep desire that fulfills our mind, body, and soul then days of the week will become insignificant…When we are fully involved in our task, the embodiment of our mind, body, and soul will be achieved.

Given all this instant knowledge, one would think that we will be more compassion and loving towards those with so much less than we have. But with so much information, have we become acclimatized to all the worldly injustices?

As time between dawn and dusk increases, light is gradually returning. With Spring comes an overflowing of resurrecting life. Colour returns in the form of apple and cherry blossoms, in the front yard garden beds and in the greening of trees.

Ask God to guide and help you. Have patience. Perseverance is the whole secret of the spiritual life, the whole magic of spiritual success. Thomas Carlyle said, “Genius is an infinite capacity for taking pains.

Breathe in the spirit of the hour; breathe in gratitude and compassion for yourself; breathe out love and encouragement for your coworkers, friends, family members.

We are limited by our attachments which restricts our spiritual growth. When we are able to let go of our illusions of ownership, we experience the freedom to be open to spiritual maturity.

In this different place we have the opportunity to discover, or remember, that we are part of a Body, in which ‘if one part suffers, all the other parts suffer with it, if one part rejoices, all the other parts rejoice with it’.

We have in many circumstances been alone during this time but, I wonder, how many of us actually and purposely sit in quiet solitude? Getting away from it all can take us down a path of soulful exploration.
