Looks like I’ll just pick the latest ones for sharing …. it’s good to slow down again after an intense period of change. * * * I remember an old song we heard with a chorus, "If God closes a door, he opens a window." 🙂 This phrase has stuck in my mind since. So…

Okay everyone … let’s pause … let’s cool down … let’s allow things to settle a bit …let’s get some perspective … let’s realign out thoughts .. and rearrange our default mode of operation to a new way of  thinking, feeling, and doing … Let this dance be a source for meditation for all.

I realized I started off backwards in the pilot "Harmonics" Post.  Let’s start at the very beginning 🙂 As the year begins, I felt it would be great for us to have a common short devotional which can serve to unite our minds and thoughts.  Please don’t see this as spam but rather reminders to…

I’ve been hoping to encourage my church members to have some kind of "solitude" or "devotional" time since the beginning of the year.  I basically re-send them The Upper Room Daily Devotional with some of my own comments at the beginning.  These short paragraphs are little "harmonic" meditations, I chip in hopefully drawing the readers…

“WHAT DOES IT MEAN to be a friend of God? … The mystics joyfully remind us that we are born from God; we live in God; and we return to God. Certainly we know this is true as we watch an orange-red sun drop beneath the edge of the ocean or witness a newborn kicking…

“WE EACH HAVE different ways of understanding and viewing the world around us. Some people see in images; some hear words; some speak with silence; and some long to move their bodies to the unseen rhythms of the Holy Spirit. These differences are to be celebrated, as together they give us a full and glorious…

  I am, you anxious one. Don’t you sense me, ready to break into being at your touch? My murmurings surround you like shadowy wings. Can’t you see me standing before you cloaked in stillness? Hasn’t my longing ripened in you from the beginning as fruit ripens on a branch? I am the dream you…
