The Velveteen Rabbit – I read this book to my son the other day and bawled like a baby. No offense intended to you babies out there, ok? I could hardly believe I had this book all these years and had never actually read it in its entirety. About three quarters of the way through [...]

How Do You Live With Mistakes?
Posted in Abraham Hicks, Inspiration, Life, Spirituality on July 23, 2009 | 3 Comments »
Short answer: you don’t. The question is not how do you live with mistakes. It’s: how do you live with courage? How do you live with stepping out on a limb? How do you live with taking risks? How do you live with moving out of your safety zone? How do you live with the [...]
Letting It Happen

{“Surrendering” by Freydoon Rassouli} “You cannot wake yourself. You can let yourself be awakened.” ~A Course in Miracles I like the emphasis here on letting. Not forcing but allowing. And then an interesting synonym for “let” is: sit still for. This is to suggest that to let something come about requires no action on our [...]

Leave the beaten track behind occasionally and dive into the woods.

I was pondering if Abraham’s definition of contrast, or what feels like unwanted events, [...]

You find yourself on a street you’ve never walked, in the town you grew up in and came back to. The street is a ribbon on a gift you’ve never opened. You walk the street and a waft of jasmine fills you, a white cat crosses your path, and from an open window you hear [...]

People ask me how I make music. I tell them I just step into it. It’s like stepping into a river and joining the flow. Every moment in the river has it’s song. So I stay in the moment and listen. What I hear is never the same. A walk through the woods brings a [...]
