Letting Go with Guy Finley

Much as we might find ourselves on a hillside watching helplessly as an approaching storm overtakes where we stand, there are times when we know a sorrow is coming but are unable to get out from beneath its pain. Sorrow that not only didn’t we tell someone of our love for him or her, but…

Spiritual patience is born in us as we grow to realize that our individual lives are forever being revealed in a great clockwork whose tireless and timeless mainspring is Love. Our part in this inexorable movement of life is not to resist what appears untimely in its unfolding but — providing we will remain open,…

There was once a woman who, longing to make a new start after a painful divorce, moved with her young daughter to a new town. Part of her plan included opening a small shop in the town’s main square that would feature beautiful and unique objects from all around the world. Several months later, the…

It seems like a stretch, a difficulty at best, to consider that it would be possible for us to meet an unwanted moment with a heart that is fully open, and to be able to respond with the realization that it is just something passing through. It has no power other than something in us…

One indication of making real effort, based on a true spiritual intention, is that even when we fail (with it), whatever regret we may have over our revealed weakness is tempered by an equal measure of realizing how important it is that we never forget what has just happened to us, within us; for now…
