Today I am grateful for Silence … … the ultimate calm from which all life springs; … that place of rest from which is born all motion; the complete canvas of nothingness upon which the myriads of matter paints its many masterpieces … And interestingly enough, I am just as thankful that we humans do […]
Today I am grateful for “The Way” — not the mental/emotional “path to salvation” preached by the dogma of the Christian church, but rather the active & practical Way shared by the founding mystics and Masters (Jesus included) of all the world’s more prevalent faiths.

And I am thankful for this greatest of Gifts even though […]
Today I am once again thankful for that Essence many call “God” – the fabric of space & time; the wellspring of all wonder & inspiration; the birthplace of unconditional Love; the latticework of sub-quantum interrelations; and the source of Cosmic Energy that co-generates all being & interpenetrates the entirety of The All. This Essence […]
