Pierien Spring

I have traveled far afield, only to discover that the journey takes me back to where I started; A place untouched by the heaviness of time, and unburdened by an unnatural purpose, A vastness of nothing, containing the source of everything; The Pierien Spring, a well so deep and limitless that it...

Nothing to Hide

Denial is the mask that we choose, when facing the judgments from others. Yet, what lies behind the mask! Removal of the mask reveals a mirror, containing what we thought was there but removed. Stand with honesty and witness a mask twice removed. Others are not a place to hide our judgments, because... Sign in to see full entry.

A Cause for Cerebration

Here and now is all there is. There is nothing more, but there is also nothing less. What exists is opportunity, a potential for creating something new out of something old. Resisting what you are, and what is happening, makes real what is not real. Life is given it through resistance, and blaming... Sign in to see full entry.

Sharing Kindness

Kindness seeks only to share, and kindles warmth and appreciation wherever it is. Kindness imbues situations with color, and fills with happiness all who reach into its limitless pool.

Gentleness

Become gentle, like water. Flow in and over resistance gently, and watch it become smooth and pliant. Turbid waters are impervious to light. Gentleness and silence are comrades. When one comes, the other awakens. What is silent becomes a fertile ground for receiving what lies beneath the noise of... Sign in to see full entry.

Who I'm Thankful for on Blog-it

It seems appropriate for me to extend my gratitude to the many teachers I have experienced here on blog-it. Though I've never met any of you face to face, your presences are felt as strongly as if we had. Among the many teachers here, are Marshallengraved, who has taught me about perseverance;...

A Prayer for Gratitude Almost Turned Deadly

We were planning to move to the beach earlier this year, until we discovered that we were pregnant. My wife, Cameron, fell into a bit of depression and ennui, that lasted for a few weeks. I knew that she had been struggling spiritually during this time, but she made no mention that she had been... Sign in to see full entry.

Truth and Consequences

An individual can exercise his free will, and force his way in the world; yet, through resistance he finds battles, where winners and losers are culled and peace of mind remains a whimsical dream. Life gives the giver what he gives. Whether he chooses to see the gift as his own remains at his... Sign in to see full entry.

Do You Know a 'Right Fighter'?

What is your purpose here on blog-it? Is it to be heard, to be recognized, and to be valued as someone unique? How we go about these goals determine if they actually are realized. There is an old adage that people don't care how much you know unless they know how much you care. If revenge, proving... Sign in to see full entry.
