55 Compassion Needs No Story

Perhaps you’re a bit like me … Tired of explaining yourself - or what you’re feeling - to make others comfortable. Imagine for a moment a world where grace and compassion are the norm, asking nothing in return? This episode is an homage to just that.

51 Tending The Conditions For Emergence

What if … we tended to the unfolding of our lives with the care and patience of a gardener? Not rushing, nor imposing our will on what wants to emerge. What if we simply observed what the universe is already cultivating through us? It is so common however, for our excitement, enthusiasm, and curiosity to want to rush the process as the delicate sprouts emerge. Perhaps we get a glimpse - then assume - that we know what form is taking shape. Notice that. Then resist the urge, the impulse,...
