Maybe It’s All Ok
The past two weeks have felt like death. Yesterday I finally came up for air. I am so tired, but relieved. Music and macrame have been my saving grace. I know I'm like 20 years late here, I discovered "Thank U" by Alanis Morissette and I listen to it on repeat and cry. Somehow it … Continue reading Maybe It’s All Ok

The farmer need not be a perfect individual. He simply needs to sow the seed and Life grows itself. There is no … Continue reading There is No Perfect Teacher
The Example of Helen Schucman
One of the things I find most interesting about A Course In Miracles is that the writer, Helen Schucman, was merely writing down what was being dictated to her by *something else* (assumed to be Jesus). She didn't know what to make of the material as it came to her. She didn't necessarily believe it. … Continue reading The Example of Helen Schucman
