The High Notes
When a Lyric Soprano reaches for the very high notes, she does so pulling those notes from the soles of her feet. The higher the notes, the deeper the place from which they have to originate. It feels this week like a giant Caterpillar tractor with a big scoop is reaching deep inside each of us and carving us out. So many of us this found ourselves in moments of great grief or rage or despair. So many of us found that we were hitting walls in a variety of places, and had to pull back and begin regrouping. So many of us this week faced what felt like big initiations, or periods of...

If it is possible, it seems that this week was even more intense than the previous week! We got to experience the most amazing expressions of violence, betrayals of trust, and explosive disruption — within our relationships! I can’t tell you how many shatterings I have heard about this week in families, friendships, small communities, and in the intimacies of love partnerships, business partnerships, teacher-student partnerships, collegial partnerships, all kinds of partnerships. And we have certainly been privy to this through the news media, as our hearts break in Cleveland and in...
read moreToday is “This Day”
Now I know why we got a bit of a break from our usual too-crowded fast-paced lives this last week. Wasn’t it a tremendously intense week?? I think it was so very intense because we are all being faced with a big choice right now. This is maybe one of the biggest choices of our lives. The question that seems to be before us is whether or not we choose to live or die. How about that, for an intense question! No, I’m serious. I think that is the question. Forever, up until now we have been able to choose, if we wished, to half-live — to pretend, to slide under the radar, to hide most of...
read moreA Little Break
This week I have begun to breathe. I actually have a bit of room in my schedule. Truly, I don’t remember this kind of possible spaciousness in more years than I can remember. It’s not like I don’t have a whole lot to do — but somehow there is less pressure, there is less of a sense of urgency, there is a letting up, as though we’ve all been given a small reprieve, a little break from the breakneck pace we’ve been keeping for a very long time. It’s as though the enormous move that we’ve been working toward has occurred. There are many other jobs waiting for us, but...
read moreWhat is Oneness?
What a week. What an intensely painful, profoundly confusing, soul-shaking week. Yes, we understand that astrologically, there is this heavenly conjunction involving Uranus, the planet associated with explosive surprises, and Mars, the planet associated with war and violence — but oh my. And yes, all of our hearts open, and the love and compassion flow out to the City of Boston, and the Town of West, and the Sichuan Province and all the victims and families and communities and groups — and perpetrators. And more hearts open, and there is greater Love, and we all talk about, and even feel...
read moreThe Only Possible Place of Orientation
So often these days, I am feeling as though I don’t know who I am, I don’t know who my sweet husband is, I don’t have any idea what I am doing here, or what I am supposed to be doing, or why. I feel disconnected and disoriented, like I am in free-float. I should be afraid that I am falling, or heading toward danger, but I have no idea what is up or down, left or right, inside or outside — so I have no clue about whether or not I am in trouble. Most of the time I feel fine in this strange state, trusting that all is perfect, and everything is unfolding in perfect ways. And every now...

What an amazing Cosmic Times came last week for April! There is so much there to give us hope and to point us in clearer directions! Truly, if you didn’t get it yet, do not delay — run to sign up HERE, and with your subscription, you will also receive the previous two issues as our thank you. You know I don’t normally begin by urging you to join the Cosmic Times family, but as I read the April issue, I came to an incredible realization. For me, the shining bright sparkle at the center of this Cosmic Times is how it is that the whole of Creation is being set up so that Human Beings...

It’s beginning! Can you feel it? Three weeks ago everything was tightly shut. And now there are openings. Little cracks, little peepholes that hint at the vastness of what can lie ahead. Truly, this is happening none too soon, because we were all beginning to think that if there weren’t a breath of fresh air soon, we would perish from the stillness, the suspense, the ready-to-burst with anticipation. It’s more than the Spring, more than the Equinox — although these certainly help. Something has opened that is allowing for movement — for a different kind of movement than we...

I don’t remember a time when my faith has felt so challenged. My life is full of wonder and ecstasy, the Divine is present all around… — and I can hardly breathe through the hair-raising suspense sometimes, because I am so overwhelmed by doubt. Are we really on our way? Are we truly headed toward Oneness Consciousness? Is this world of ours getting better, lighter, more awake?? Am I just making all of this up?? And then we get a week like this week. If we ever doubted — and do we ever! — this week is a gift, a message from the Divine, that says, “This is real, your...
read moreIt is Us
We all seem to be busy re-writing the stories of our lives. Usually when we speak about people rewriting history, we are speaking about fact becoming fiction, as the not-so-pretty details are cleaned up and the jagged edges are smoothed out. But right now somehow we are doing this backwards — it seems we are digging down deep, and unearthing all the tidbits that previously we were able to sweep under the rugs of our denial. We are becoming willing to take them out into the light of day, and look clearly at them, and actually see them, for maybe the first time — with all their...

There’s lots to notice this week. Have you noticed how many people have things going on with their eyes and their eyesight? People are concerned about everything from macular degeneration and glaucoma, to eye pressure and eye strain, to cataracts and changes in vision or glasses or lenses. And have you noticed how we are all fairly easily sailing out of our bodies over this last week? — getting lost in daydreaming, going blank, losing chunks of time during the day, not concentrating real well, easily losing our focus, our place, our line of thinking, feeling disconnected from the...
read moreThe more Love, the more Truth
The heart is the Home of Truth. It is said that the great Cherubim reside in the Heart of God, that is, in the deep heart, the Heart of Hearts of each of us. The job of the Cherubim is to be the Guardians of Truth. There was a great Cherub on either side of the Ark of the Covenant. When there was silence from the Ark, the Cherubim faced out, but when the great wargod, Yahweh, spoke out of the Ark, the Cherubim faced in, (as I see it) making certain that Yahweh was speaking Truth. Likewise, the Cherubim residing in our Heart of Hearts, our deep heart, are there to guard these portals, to make...
