September’s Promise

September’s Promise

August is an in-between space…summer is waning and autumn isn’t visible quite yet. I am eager for fall’s arrival. September always feels, to me, like the beginning of a new year. I remember childhood and “back to school shopping.” It was great fun going to Woolworth’s with my supply list. A new Big Chief tablet, white paste with the little… Read More

The Voice Within an Earring

The Voice Within an Earring

All is nearly in place for me to begin to write my next book. My cloistered scriptorium (a small writing space at home) has been tidied and organized. The majority of my 100 plus journals are neatly arranged on nearby bookshelves, awaiting harvesting. A cloth covered notebook stuffed with ideas, possible titles, photos, and other bits of inspiration is also… Read More

Sunrise…Sunset

Sunrise…Sunset

Here on the Western edge of the continent, near the sea, it’s impossible not be aware of the daily miracle of sunrise and sunset. Today’s sunset holds a special poignancy as it symbolizes the exhale of 2017.  Tomorrow’s sunrise is the harbinger of the New Year, with all the joys, challenges, laughter, and tears yet to be lived. I have… Read More

Holy Wisdom: Woman’s Story as Legacy

Holy Wisdom: Woman’s Story as Legacy

Wisdom, the fashioner of all things taught me there is in her, a spirit that is intelligent, holy, unique, manifold, facile, mobile, clear, unpolluted, distinct, invulnerable, loving the good, keen, irresistible, beneficent, humane, steadfast, sure, free from anxiety, all powerful, overseeing all and penetrating through all spirits that are intelligent, pure, and all together facile. For Wisdom is more mobile… Read More

Autumn’s Invitation

Autumn’s Invitation

Perhaps you, too, have been feeling overwhelmed, heart-broken, and oppressed by the news these last months and especially the last the several weeks. Years ago when I was working very hard in therapy to heal issues from my childhood, my therapist told me… Deep sea divers can’t stay in the depths for extended periods of time. They have to surface… Read More

August Reflection: Spiritual and Creative Freedom

August Reflection: Spiritual and Creative Freedom

You must learn one thing. The world was made to be free in. Give up all the other worlds except the one to which you belong.  —David Whyte How do we ensure we are living in alignment with our souls’ longings when daily life is overscheduled, fragmented and often exhausting?  What does it mean to let go of life-depleting tasks… Read More

The Turning

The Turning

I came upon this blog post today in my files and it seems very fitting for the here and now. I’ve freshened it a bit and offer it with love and prayers… A small globe on a bookshelf in my workspace catches my eye. I pick it up and feel connected with the realization that all of humankind is fastened… Read More

Waiting

Waiting

It’s Holy Week and I’ve been enjoying a quiet day of reflection…reading Joyce Rupp’s beautiful new book, Prayer Seeds and listening to the medieval music of Hildegard of Bingen. The afternoon weather is cloudy and my prayer space has recently become extremely simple, a singular small framed image of Christ and a singular red votive bless the table near my chair. Many… Read More

Circumnavigation: The Call to Return

Circumnavigation: The Call to Return

Life has a way of calling for the circumnaviation of pathways leading to departure and return. This Lenten season my husband and I have received the call to return to life near the sea. We recently revisited Carmel, California where we lived for sixteen years. During our life there, I wrote the first draft of Ink and Honey and sketched… Read More

Anchoring for Lent

Anchoring for Lent

The world turns and the hours of daylight increase. Spring approaches and Lent begins. Last weekend I was blessed to spend a retreat day with my dear friend, visionary, and artist, Karen Blessen. Twenty-three years ago Karen and I co-created the book, Be An Angel.  Ours is a life-long “soul sister” friendship. Our conversations and Karen’s wisdom always inform and nourish… Read More
