spiritual positive-thinking self-confidence
Faith takes us to deep places, to the ruptures in our self-confidence and our lives. Do not settle for spiritual comfort all the time...Darkness is divine also. Faith is not about positive thinking so much as about what kicks in when we are weak, sick, and short of self-confidence. The via positiva never stands alone. The via negativa is always with us on our faith journey as well.
spiritual pain journey
Facing the darkness, admitting the pain, allowing the pain to be pain, is never easy. This is why courage - big-heartedness - is the most essential virtue on the spiritual journey. But if we fail to let pain be pain - and our entire patriarchal culture refuses to let this happen - then pain will haunt us in nightmarish ways. We will become pain's victims instead of the healers we might become.
order awareness should
Work should be in order to live. We don't live in order to work. That shift in awareness is necessary.
past space creation
Creation is all space, all time - all things past, present, and future.
rivers path needs
To connect with the great river we all need a path, but when you get down there there's only one river.
song jobs laughter
The universe is in the habit of making beauty. There are flowers and songs, snowflakes and smiles, acts of great courage, laughter between friends, a job well done, the smell of fresh baked bread. Beauty is everywhere.
women angel healing
Evil is the shadow of angel. Just as there are angels of light, support, guidance, healing and defense, so we have experiences of shadow angels. And we have names for them: racism, sexism, homophobia are all demons - but they're not out there.
strong prayer heart
Prayer is essentially about making the heart strong so that fear cannot penetrate there.
pain laughter grief
We must work on our souls, enlarging and expanding them. We do so by experiencing all of life-the beauty and the joy as well as the grief and pain. Soul work requires paying attention to life, to the laughter and the sorrow, the enlightening and the frightening, the inspiring and the silly.
letting-go strong pain
The whole purpose of letting pain be pain is this: to let go of pain. By entering into it, we see that we are strong enough and capable enough to move through it. We find out that it ultimately has a gift for us.
inspirational spiritual awakening
A global awakening can only happen from a spiritual awakening that is of global dimensions.
work self limits
When our inner self connects to our work and our work to our inner self, the work knows no limit, for the inner self knows no limit.
movie character actors
Filmmaking is always sort of building a mosaic of this arc of what the character is going through.
beauty lying healing
Beauty saves. Beauty heals. Beauty motivates. Beauty unites. Beauty returns us to our origins, and here lies the ultimate act of saving, of healing, of overcoming dualism.
