When rear ended by life, God provides

                      The Dealership  We all know the shock of being rear ended by unexpected trials in life, but there is hope! On May 27, 2026, very recently, I was rear ended hard! All kinds of emotions surfaced. I was concerned about the pain I was experiencing, but the emergency room said I had no broken bones, just very sore muscles.  Thank God! I had a 2015 vehicle with low mileage that ran great, so I wasn't motivated to seek out another car. Then my car was totaled, therefore I had to go find another one. I found one at the dealership with updated safety features and technology. This prompted me to think of God as the Dealership, as well as being the Creator and Owner. Here people depend on the salesperson and the mechanic to help move about in life. God contains all we need, that is, what people seek can be found in this "dealership". We all want to find something to take us from point A to point Z. From birth un...

Seed of God

 Seed of God


 A seed of God is in us. Now a seed of a pear tree grows into a pear tree, a hazel seed into a hazel tree. A seed of God grows into God.  ~  Meister Eckhart

As I see it, growth is essential in all that is living.  It is the expansion of nothing into something, which occurs naturally from the small into the large. Seeds that are planted contain the universe, they contain life. God is constantly creating from the seed, from the origins of the universe to the seed of faith planted in our souls and hearts.

Seeds mature and ripen into their intended form. Nature teaches us that all that is living grows in darkness into flourishing life. From darkness comes light and life. It is in the darkness of the soil or in the darkness of the womb, or in the dark times of our souls that transformation happens.

Our souls are fertile ground for the seed of God. The Divine Gardener plants the beginnings of life and scatters seeds to see them take root, develop, grow, and transform. 

He plants himself into the recesses of our being, our souls, so that we may grow and be children of the Most High, thus becoming a part of God. Life is an ever-evolving cycle of growth.  Plants, animals, our souls, our faith, our bodies, all grow if nourished and are tended to. God tends to this by providing the nourishment of the Holy Spirit.  When we allow and help nurture this seed, which is planted in us, to grow, we allow God to transform us into the beings of light we are meant to be.
It is up to us to welcome the Spirit implanted in us.

 May we humbly be aware that as small as we may think we are in comparison to God, we come to realize the immensity of our potential.

Why God?

  I was recently asked, why? And I thought, what would God say about this question. Life is a rocky road to travel and all of us grapple with difficulties. Some more pronounced than others. It may seem like God is asleep in the boat during the storm, but if we consider and awaken the divine within we will find some solace. Many in our current situation ask this question and this is what I imagined God would tell us.                      WHY? Why do bad things happen  to good people Is an existential question Why my God, why? God says I am Love And Love doesn't desire harm I created you for goodness But I want you to have Free will and independence So you may choose me freely Life is difficult and random As it unfolds Rely on me  Learn from me And I will give you rest In the midst of pain I will hold you in suffering I understand I will comfort you Cry with you And walk with you In this journey called life In this step...

Joined together in Love

  Next week will be my wedding anniversary, and just like two roses are joined on a rosebush, Mike and I were joined together with God as our center.  After Michael died, I wanted to write him a poem.  I asked for  inspiration from the Spirit and from Mike as I had never written a poem and this came to my soul:           TO MIKE My heart is heavy my grief intense  my tears roll down my face now like little rivers seeking the ocean We were magical together for a lifetime of love and joy We were like two peas in a pod surrounded by God We were two pieces of a puzzle joined together in a bigger picture You breathed my air and stroked my hair  You held my hand and took my tears away Now you are dancing with the angels exploring the universe with the Divine You are alive in a realm of wonders I asked you for a sign that you will always be mine You reassure me of your love as I close my eyes and dance with you when dragonflies, birds and ...

Lent means Spring

  Ash Wednesday  Today is the beginning of Lent which means "Spring". Spring is the time of year where dead things come to life. It means that the seeds that were buried in the ground during the winter grow into flowers. Dead tree limbs resurrect and begin to grow a new canopy of leaves. Animals create new life in the warming and awakening of the earth in this season. Earth begins to awaken from its slumber, it remembers the dark and cold nights, where everything rested only to stir up new life as the eyes of nature open wide, signaling new beginnings. Lent is the time for us to be birthed and be born anew. The 9 months in the womb are like the 40 days before Easter. Here we are formed and defined as we grow into the people we were meant to be. It is like seeds, buried in the ground that are shaped into flowers, grass and all things nature puts forth in Spring. Lent is a time for introspection, looking deep within to discover who we truly are as we grow and develop in the wom...
