It Doesn’t Have to Be This Way – Part 1
When I was a young child, I had many insights. I still do. One of my earliest insights arose from a deep, embodied discomfort with how the world is. Before I knew language to describe adult systems I knew that, "It doesn't have to be this way." One of my early childhood Visions / Knowings was this: We would experience complete global harmony if everyone contributed their gifts. And in exchange for everyone Continue Reading
Your ‘Predominant Pulse’ – Part 2
As we begin to give the seeds of our gifts, we discover more about them. We begin to recognize our true worth, which is amazing. It is only our wounds that have had us believe otherwise.

If we have a question, and we don't know the answer, then obviously we are opening our self to access wisdom beyond our self. These questions connect us directly to our spirit. Who Am I? Who is Continue Reading
Jack-in-the-Box
Have you ever tried to get a Jack-in-the-Box in the box? A Jack-in-the-Box is a cloth puppet sitting atop a tightly coiled spring. When the lid of the box is lifted, 'Jack' springs out, joyous and full of life. Getting Jack back into the box requires much strength and determination to push downward against his naturally-freedom-oriented coils. When you do finally get the coils sufficiently suppressed to force the Continue Reading
