Stress

Did you ever notice that stress doesn’t go away – it just changes form? That’s because the stress wants to change you.

Letting Go

If you let go of people, you can love them more because then they do not exist only to serve your purposes. They can then be what they were created to be, and you can love them for it. 

Growing Old

Getting older is not about putting yourself together more. It is about being taken apart, piece by piece, until you are finally on your knees in death. 

Own It, Accept It

The pain is only yours. You cannot deposit it anywhere and no one can take it from you. You can only hope to have it transformed.

Waiting

It is easy to get ahead of ourselves and God when we don’t believe that he will eventually speak.

Being Drawn Up

Worry keeps us focused on our stuff, our plans, having things our way, and preserving everything that is OURS. To be drawn up into the Presence is to let go of all that. Sounds dangerous!

The End Of You, The End Of Me

Blessed are those who hit rock bottom, when all the rest of us are comforted by our circumstances. What a gift to be able to realize our resources are limited, and we cannot lift ourselves from every situation.
