Weekly Pause & Ponder
It’s easy to forget what an amazing gift life really is. Our lives are nothing but a cosmic blink. Even our seemingly all-encompassing world is just a tiny blue dot circling an average sized star spiraling around a galaxy of 200-400 billion stars, which itself is one galaxy among billions more. Yet for one brief moment, we get to experience the wonders of existence of consciousness.

Weekly Pause & Ponder
When we say God is eternal, we mean God is eternally young.
“The outward person is the old person, the earthly person, the person of this world, who grows old from ‘from day to day.’ His end is death… The inward person is not at all in time or place but is purely and simply in eternity. It is there that God arises… [and] is heard, there God is; there God, and God alone, speaks.”
– Meister Eckhart quoted in Matthew Fox, The Coming of the Cosmic Christ
Weekly Pause & Ponder
We are reaching a fork in the road; two paths are diverging on planet Earth and the one we choose will make all the difference for the life of the planet. Shall we continue our practices... and undergo extinction? Or shall we wake up to this dynamic, evolutionary universe and the rise of consciousness toward an integral wholeness?

With Thanksgiving
When you arise in the morning, think of what a precious privilege it is to be alive – to breathe, to think, to enjoy, to love – then make that day count.
