Nearer to us than
Our hands and feet
Nearer to us than
Our own breath
Not to be found
In temples, mountain caves
Or forest fastnesses
Not hiding somewhere
Beyond the horizon,
Such joy on realizing
The Divine Melody
In our own heart,
Loving Grace of the One
That can connect our consciousness
With the Immanent Power
And take us to the place
Where the Divine Melody descends
(by Deborah Morrison)

Movement in stillness
And stillness in movement
Therein lies peace.
We cannot judge the future
On the past
As technological advances
Have made our existence
Less brutish,
Spiritual awakening can also create peace
Within
And when and if this becomes
A mass consciuosness,
It can create a more peaceful world
Where conflict need
Not be resolved by violence.
A visionary can see possibilites
While a realist
Cries “impossible”
Or “impractical.”
War to me
Is an [...]

Today I flew in a small Piper Cherokee with Jared, Debby’s son, who is working towards his commercial license. My greatest concern was motion sickness from the plane’s sudden movements but we had a doggy bag just in case.
Due to a head-on collision in a car three years ago, I have developed uneasiness with [...]
