God’s Too Big To Put In A Box
By

This evening, I was noticing a thread on a friend’s Facebook page that included a lively conversation which began this way: “I am God in Garb You are God in Garb We are God in Garb God is everything Everything is God in Garb” He was expressing his perception of the Divine in all…
Poison Ivy

One of my clients in the outpatient drug and alcohol counseling center where I work with folks in recovery had a brilliant analogy that he shared. As someone with a long term addiction, he thought he could manage it by ‘controlling’ his drinking until he realized it was controlling him. It was when he saw that…
God’s Instrument

My friend Lew Doty is an uber-talented musician. His songs are nothing short of spiritual sustenance that make my heart dance. I was introduced to him back in the early 2000’s perhaps and have been hooked ever since. He is kind of the ‘musician in residence’ at CCL (Center for Conscious Living); a New Thought Church…
Dialing Up Heaven

I believe that we all have a hotline to Spirit because it is (in my view) the Source from whence we came. I never tell anyone what to believe spiritually since our relationship with the ‘God of our understanding’ is unique to each of us. Many of us were taught that only certain people have…
Writing Prompt

What happens when you are aware almost 24/7 of sensory input; the delicious aromas, succulent, savory flavors, sonic waves, tickling touch, and eye pleasing inner and outer visions? How about if you are willingly to be at the beck and call of The Muse who keeps you on your toes, awakens you at all hours,…
Making Time For What Matters Most
By

I remember seeing another poster with a similar idea that had on it the names of famous inventors, proclaiming that each of them had the same 24 hours that were granted to everyone. The difference was all in how they invested their energy and action in that period. As a recovering Type-A, gotta get it…
Potholes and Pitfalls

It’s been a rough winter here in the Philadelphia area as it has been throughout the country. Below freezing temps, gusty winds, downed wires, crystalline coating on trees limbs, power outages and many feet of snow at one fell swoop. Once upon a time, I would have reveled in the seasonal sound-off. I had planned on moving…
Random Acts of Flowers

On a warmish ( above 50 degrees in what was a mostly low double/sometimes below zero winter) snow-melting Sunday, I ventured out with two fun friends, Patricia Gallagher and Kate Wiley to scatter joy on the streets of Doylestown, Pennsylvania. Trish is also known as the Angel Pin Lady and the Flower Lady,…
God Loving vs. God Fearing
By

Today I heard someone who is the head of a religious congregation preaching from the pulpit. He was sharing a passage from The New Testament- John 3:3 – “Jesus answered and said to him, Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God.” While I…
Freedom vs. Safety
By

Yesterday, I was interviewed on the How To Be A Holy Rascal radio show hosted by my friend Rabbi Rami Shapiro on Unity.FM Radio. Rami and I have known each others since the early 1990’s. I sense that the Cosmic Jokester brought us together. I was in a bookstore in South Florida perusing the spirituality…
