In the normal course of life, the consequences of our actions and of our non-actions teach us responsibility, which then entails foreseeing those consequences. However, for many actions we cannot foresee their repercussions. Those situations can tempt us into irresponsible and wrong actions. For example, another driver is rude to me on the highway. Expecting no consequences, I make an obscene gesture at him. It appears to cost me nothing. Indeed it feels good, just, and righteous, a healthy release of anger and stress. But the truth lies deeper. Every intentional act and every intentional non-action when action is called for, create karma, known in the Christian tradition as sowing what you reap and in New Age circles as “what goes around comes around.”

Mother Earth teaches us to be human.

She brings love to life and shares her gifts with us.

In return for the gifts of our Mother,

As they greet the summer sun,

And love the way the wind can make

The trees sings just for fun;

went to two different o.m.’s tonight…played the role of acoustic strummer at the first one and reluctant rocker at the second one…had fun at both, a bit more at the 2nd one…there was hardly anyone else available to play at the second one–a VERY light crowd (both players and listeners) for some reason (the price […]

If you stop and think about it, life moves in cycles. There are seasons to pretty much everything. Sometimes they are predictable in their shifts, like the seasons or waves coming to shore or the migration of geese but usually the biggest shifts happen when we least expect it, even – or maybe especially – when we know they are going to happen.

I remember reading a story once about a man who was exploring some caves by the seashore. In one of the caves he found a canvas bag with a bunch of hardened clay balls. It was like someone had rolled up some clay and left them out in the sun to bake.

This about love and attachment is very tricky for My beloved children. Any condition you make reveals attachment. Any outcome you desire and insist on comes from attachment. Have the desire and let go of it at the same time. Love will free others from having to fulfill your needs and wants.
