love-you sea alive
Ships are safe in harbor, but that's not what ships are for. So set sail on the stormy sea of love. You're going to get soaked at times, but at least you'll know you're alive.
sea goal challenges
We are here to live moment by moment, and each moment brings a task, a challenge, a goal. It's good to have big goals, but we need to connect the dots between where we are and where we are going, one day, one moment at a time.
sea awakening raindrops
Personal and collective awakening are one and the same - when a raindrop joins the sea, the sea also merges with the raindrop.
sea water simplicity
As poet-philosopher Rabindranath Tagore reminds us, "We cannot cross the sea merely by staring at the water." Simplicity has power. And living on purpose comes to this: Just do it. How much simpler can we get?
afford believe spend
There are just two of us now so I can afford to spend a little extra. They are more expensive. If I had a family, I don't believe I would come here.
god immersed time
We're immersed in the spirit of God all the time. We just don't notice.

convey glimpse immense information personage sprouts
There are times, you know, it's said in the Spiritual Tradition, just a glimpse at an enlightened personage can convey immense information at the sub-conscious level that sprouts later, that we don't even know.
You don't just have a story - you're a story in the making, and you never know what the next chapter's going to be. That's what makes it exciting.
spiritual strong children
Our practices - our most spiritual practices - are hanging laundry on the line, raising children, building strong relationships, practicing kindness as much as we can, striving for excellence in the workplace, and developing deeper self-knowledge. I wrote The Four Purposes of Life to assist in these endeavors.
