Water enters and leaves the atmosphere,

 enters and leaves the ground,

enters and leaves all forms of life.

Water moves endlessly on this changing planet--

endlessly because nothing truly lasts

and nothing truly stops.

Water enters and leaves, and nothing lasts;

everything returns to elements.

Water enters and leaves, and nothing stops;

the elements take new forms of being and life.

We enter and leave our…

This is a prayer that I wrote recently for the National Day of Prayer:

O Divine One,

I open myself to inspiration on the important topic of water.

In a time of changing rain patterns and melting glaciers, I support wise and equitable decisions and good practices in regard to water.  I focus my attention on learning about water, and on conserving and sharing it.

I use my imagination to trace the water cycle: the immobility and…

What if Time plays tricks? Could he have used his magical metronome to reveal to me a different reality on that warm August day many years ago?  It was the summer of 1950, that time of the year when a cyclical metamorphosis seemed to transform our family. My sister, Mary Lee, was on summer vacation and my two great aunts, who were both devoted schoolteachers, also had more time to play. Fishing poles saw the light of day and Mom and Dad took us on picnics almost every weekend. The lakes and…

It has been a while since I have blogged. I have been focusing on other areas for a while. However lately... as all writers do... I have the itch.

I have just enjoyed a fun and very relaxing weekend in Cornwall, UK. We were tucked away in a rural retreat and spent the days sightseeing.

We visited King Arthur’s Castle... couldn’t find Camelot, visited a village with my family name - only to find it was one house with a dirt road, enjoyed the coastline…

I am 64 years old and looking for the next step in my life. I was a closet artist for many years. I've 'come out' creating original designs and using them to make bookmarks. So far, I have only given them to family and friends as gifts. My vision, at present, is to market them on crafts' sites online and in bookstores. I am happily searching the internet for supplies and watching the videos that other artists have up on YouTube. So many wonderful ideas to spark my own creative imagination! I…

I'm realizing that affirmation is not always enjoyable.  Lately, I'm receiving affirmation that the decision my husband and I made for me to end my education career in June is aboslutely right. And I'm not enjoying the form this affirmation is taking.

Affirmation is coming in the form of continued "climate change" in the organization I work for. There is less and less opportunity for meaningful collaboration with colleagues. There is more and more distrust throughout the organization.…

Hello all you out there; I'm new to this "community."  I'm also wondering, does anyone know about jobs available where one can do the spiritual work intended for them?  I have recently left academia (too stifling, too behind the times); I am looking for work that is suitable for and to me.  Information: I have a bachelor's and master's degree in English and Curriculum Development from the University of Michigan.  I am also a poet and songwriter; hopefully one day a memorist and essayist.  I…

I recently wrote this about Fracking. If you are not familiar with the subject, this is a practice that is devastating to our ecosystems and the lives of those who live in rural areas. Click on the link below to read more:

Friends, I'll confess I'm sharing this widely: news of a growing uprising with profound implications for the Northwest Passage and Canadian public policy...

In 2006 I spent three weeks in Labrador, and that glorious wild land at the top of the world has remained in my heart ever since.

The other day I received a request from my friend Jan Dymond, columnist, activist,…

I know this looks staged, but it isn't. Of course my three year old can't read, but when I walked into the room and saw this, it did give me some hope... you'll love this picture: http://theodorecosmosophia.wordpress.com/2012/02/07/as-wise-as-the-day-i-was-born-walden-the-next-generation/
