Eight years ago my sister gave me a rattle from Maui. It was a Kahuna’s type of rattle. I have carried it with me for years and eventually gave it to my spirit son from Hawaii. He left it in his brother’s apartment and thought he had lost it. When he showed it to me [...]

The Flicker at my feet

Arriving in the late afternoon, I did some pruning and transplanted some iris. Then I let the water trickle onto the flower bed while I had dinner. Returning after dark I noticed there was a small lake forming, about two or three inches deep in the bed. I turned off the water and heard a [...]

Synchronicity is a way the soul is making meaning of personal experiences. This morning, the first day of Advent in the Liberal Catholic tradition, was focused on Discrimination. The visiting Celebrant scheduled to perform the Liturgy canceled last night and the Rector gave his sermon “from the hip”. He began with a quote from the [...]

Talking with a younger colleague about the importance of naps and play in childhood, I was thinking about the Native American concept of sacred space. In the old times when we were free to roam the land, we were encouraged to find a “special place” where we could talk to the spirits of the land [...]

She apologized with, “my son’s coming with the Christmas tree and should be here any moment, could you help me put this plastic on the carpet?” I hadn’t met her son or his wife and their nine-year-old daughter, but I got to within minutes. While the guy in the brown suede coat got the tree [...]

Sometimes picking up a hitchhiker just connects everything, especially when he synchronously knows everyone in your circle. Magic happens when we listen to our dreams, my grandson does, and he shares his dreams with me. This is the story of what happened when he got back from his trip to Peru and the Amazon.
The Prison where Joseph found his calling.

A couple of days ago, I was dreaming I am in the entry way of a large institution cleaning up some unneeded items after making repairs. I put a grey wool sweater, a small black umbrella, and a few other items in a white plastic bag and then into the trash. There are some large [...]

My newest spirit son is covered with tattoos and looks like he stepped out of the Hispanic section of the city. He just looks that way. He’s more eastern European in ethnicity, but the black shirt and jeans makes him look like a old gangster. He invited me to my first experience of Ethiopian food [...]

When I arrived home after a week’s absence, my spirit son knocked on my door, came in and embraced me, then invited me into the hot tub. Slipping out of our clothes and into the warm water, we began to talk about our adventures and concerns for our spiritual community. Then he asked me to [...]
Reincarnation Anyone?

My default setting on Reincarnation has been: It’s not part of our Judaeo-Christian tradition, the phenomena can be explained by Jung’s concept of the Collective-Unconscious or perhaps some type of genetic memory passed on from generation to generation. But that doesn’t really explain what happens in the moment under certain situations. Like the movie Thunderheart [...]
