Entering the Dance of Blessing
One of the most powerful downloads I received in past years was a transmission of instructions as facilitator of my local gathering to mark the Harmonic Convergence in 1987. I have wanted share it more broadly, but have not done so yet, embarrassed, frankly, to have let so much time go by. My embarrassment led me to rationalize that it could not possibly still be relevant. But that’s small thinking, and entirely dismisses the nature of eternity, our matrix. I asked about thi

Not Xena: coping after the election of Donald Trump as President
I am currently listening to the audio book version of The Game of Thrones, and have come to like Samwell Tarly, the self-confessed coward whose finer qualities his Lord father would not acknowledge as valuable. Sam is a philosopher, perceptive and sensitive. I am identifying with him. I’m afraid of violent encounters, too. Remember seeing the student stand defiantly before the tanks in Tiennanmen Square?
