Chattering Mind

by Dr. Susan CorsoI know Amy wrote about this gorgeous video last month (Thursday, April 19, 2007), but someone who loves me sent it to me today and I had to add my nickel. Thousand-Hand Guan Yin is the name of this exquisite record of a brilliant Chinese dance company. It’s a love letter, an…

by Dr. Susan CorsoI love Ken Wilber’s mind. He’s a genius, a deep thinker, and a wonderful synthesist. Sometimes when I read his writing, I feel like he’s done my homework for me.

Corso is the author of “God’s Dictionary: Divine Definitions for Everyday Enlightenment,” which provids a spiritual take on everyday words, such as disappointment (“not chosen”), companion (“sharing…

Well, it is that time of year again when you go to a wedding and come home chattering over how painful some of the wedding toasts were. The warm, loving wedding toast seems to have fallen by the wayside in this age of reality television and talk show therapy. Today, we must hear how many…

Here’s a Native American blessing, good for reading and adapting for any sacred occasion. It’s not a bad prayer to actually whisper to yourself before you start writing or presenting your wedding toast! O Great Spirit, whose breath gives life to the world, and whose voice is heard in the soft breeze:We need your strength…
