“The Gift of Gravity” All that passes descends, and ascends again unseen into the light: the river coming down from sky to hills, from hills to sea, and carving as it moves, to rise invisible, gathered to light, to return again. “The river’s injury is its shape.” I’ve learned no more. We are what we…

Spirituality from Daily Word: “Earth Blessing” (Espiritualidad de La Palabra Diaria: “Bendición para la Tierra”)
Earth Blessing My stewardship of the environment blesses future generations. Today is Earth Day, a time set aside to celebrate this beautiful planet we call home.

Spirituality from Daily Word: “Life” (Espiritualidad de la Palabra Diaria: “Vida”)
Life I bless the life I have been given. Every fiber of my being exudes a life force. There is a divine intelligence within me. If I cut my finger, I do not need to tell the various blood cells and platelets what to do to bring about healing. The brilliance of life accommodates…
Spirituality from Daily Word: “Wisdom”(Espiritualidad de La Palabra Diaria: “Sabiduría”)
Wisdom I look for meaning by turning within to divine wisdom. My search for right answers will bring me to one place—the presence of the Most High, the kingdom of God in my life. There I find the wisdom I need to make any decision—significant or trivial. Spirit within guides me to the understanding…
FOR SAINT PATRICK’S DAY: “IRISH BLESSING” (and music from an older post)
May the road rise up to meet you , may the wind be always at your back,
may the sun shine warm upon your face, and the rain fall soft upon your fields,
Spirituality from Daily Word: “Gratitude” (Espiritualidad de la Palabra Diaria: “Gratitud”)
Gratitude I give thanks for all blessings—those received and those forthcoming. Gratitude is a powerful spiritual tool. When I develop an attitude of gratitude, I proceed as if I have the answer I want, even during those times when the results are not yet visible. I give thanks for a healthy mind and body and…
Spirituality from Daily Word: “Pet Blessing” (Espiritualidad de la Palabra Diaria: “Bendición para las mascotas”)
Pet Blessing I bless all pets for the love and companionship they provide. Pets are amazing companions. They are loyal friends and the embodiment of the spirit of love—gentle yet protective. Pets stand by their human companions—without judgment, filled with unconditional love. I take this moment now to acknowledge the pets in my life both…
POEMS: “BRINGING FORTH A WORLD”by Tarchin Hearn (& Short excerpt from book “Walking in Wisdom”)
All perception is a blur
Everything moves, movings within movings
No matter how fast our glimpse,
how fast the shutter speed,
the moment still smears itself across the retina
pretending to be solid through photon limitations.
We live in a blur
Moving senses passing changing messages
Spirituality from Daily Word: “Begin again” (Espiritualidad de la Palabra Diaria: “Comenzar de nuevo”)
Begin Again I find blessings in every circumstance. Any difficulty I may experience in life is a beginning point for greater growth. As I continue my life’s journey, I may at times stumble as I encounter some of the lessons found on my way. If I experience a disappointment, I lift myself up by…
POEMS: “The faces of deer”
Photo credit: Pinterest The Faces of Deer When for too long I don’t go deep enough into the woods to see them, they begin to enter my dreams. Yes, there they are, in the pinewoods of my inner life. I want to live a life full of modesty and praise. Each hoof of each animal…
“Pray for Others” (Ora por otros)
“Pray for Others” My thoughts of health and healing bless the world. In the Gospel of Matthew, Jesus promises, “Where two or three are gathered in my name, I am there among them.” His purpose was always to encourage intimate spiritual community focused on the divine love he taught and practiced. My prayers are aligned…
POEMS: “Thanksgiving” (appreciating the small things in life) by Ella Wheeler Wilcox
And do not see the daisies;
For blessings common in our sight We rarely offer praises.
