This Father’s Day offers us a unique opportunity to explore how we can restore balance in our relationships—with ourselves, each other, and the natural world. Rather than viewing masculine and feminine energies as opposing forces, we can understand them as complementary aspects that exist within all of us, creating harmony when properly integrated.

Pilgrimage. More like compulsion.
Saturday, July 24, 2021, I drove over to the Medicine Wheel National Historic Landmark. It took me over an hour to get there even though I am relatively close. There were just a few large mountains in the way. Around is longer but necessary sometimes. This Medicine Wheel is located at the top of a […]

Pilgrimage: Manitou Springs, Colorado July 14, 2021
Yesterday I went to Manitou Springs, Colorado as a sort of pilgrimage. I have a book about Sacred Sites in the US by state and this is the one site in Colorado. It happened to be a little over a 2-hour drive one way. The reason this place is held to be sacred goes back […]
I was deeply moved the first time I heard singer-songwriter Ani DiFranco’s song
I was deeply moved the first time I heard singer-songwriter Ani DiFranco’s song Overlap as she describes a relationship.

Then turning around with a backstroke, the […]
Honoring the Divine Feminine: A Church Without Walls.
Honoring the Divine Feminine: A Church Without Walls. That phrase has served our community well, from nearly the beginning. A Church without Walls.

Are you listening? Because I wasn’t!
Are you listening? Because I wasn’t! I have had a tough year and a half or so. I don’t think anyone would dispute that fact. My husband was ill for about a year with surgeries, hospitalizations, and finally a terminal diagnosis ending in his last few months on hospice before his death. Two weeks later […]

Octogenarian Wisdom
My grandkids think I am wise. What I see in my grandkids and my great grandkids is that each generation comes into the world seems brighter and more aware. We all learn by being taught from families, schools, cultures, mores and ethics. We learn to be nice, careful, kind and considerate. We also learn to […]
