Tonight’s blog topic is inspired by Elizabeth Sherrill’s article “Going Online”. The Internet is a wonderful way to connect and communicate with others, anytime, anywhere – pretty much. I can be in touch with others via an email, a blog, or a website. I just have to go online. It’s very much like staying in touch with God. I have the ability to connect with Spirit anytime I choose, anywhere I am. But I must remember to go online. In the case of the Internet, I need some apparatus to be connected. A computer and an Internet Service Provider (ISP) to actually get me connected, and then an email account, for instance, to communicate. Ahhh, but in the case of going online to God I need no additional apparatus save a desire to do so – then I just do it! God is everywhere at all times, always accessible. The Great Mystery is closer than my breath, in every particle of my physical body and soul. There is no separation. Communication is ever present. I need no extra apparatus, for we are one – forever entwined.

It’s been a full, rich day. I spent most of it at my laptop, doing website design work and connecting with people via email. I emailed prospective clients introduced to me through mutual friends, communicated with owners of possible home rentals, caught up on how friends were doing in their new home state, and more. It was a social day, a productive day. I did my active kundalini meditation and I spent some time reading Emmet Fox’s essays; they are always uplifting to me, and make me feel closer to God. It was a day well spent and I felt like I had “done enough” which is often not the case. So it’s ‘interesting’ that I should read today’s Daily Guideposts this evening. The author, Pam Kidd, had forgotten to give her elderly friend all of his birthday gifts when she visited him at an extended-care facility. “For weeks the magazines rode around in my car, taunting me. One more thing undone. And then, out of the blue, came a call: Claude had suffered a massive stroke. He was gone. “Distraught, I went to the car and gathered the magazines, expecting also to find a heap of guilt. But the … Continue reading →

Hearing Barbara Horton’s song lyrics about wanting to be like the water reminded me of my own recent experience alongside Tonto Creek near Payson, AZ. Barbara’s sentiments went further, and I deeply resonate with them: I want to be like the water flowingNever questioning, always knowingExactly what it is I’m here to do. Abundantly receiving, givingA contribution to life along the way.– © 2008 Barbara Horton Especially in these days of Rog and I making big changes, releasing, dropping attachments, as we work toward creating our new life in northern Arizona, we so want to be clear what it is that God would have us do, would have us be. I want to trust Spirit with all my heart and simply know The Plan, and not question nor resist Spirit’s will for me. When I do that, life is joyful, abundant, and I am of great service to others. I am like the water flowingNever questioning, always knowingExactly what it is I’m here to do. Abundantly receiving, givingA contribution to life along the way.

My dear friend Karen and I had rented a car in Manhattan and driven to Vermont for a long, fun weekend of downhill skiing. On this particular evening, we had made the last run on the slopes, enjoyed après-ski, and were now heading back to our hotel, when it started snowing again. Soon a light dusting turned into a whiteout. It might have been evening, but it was bright out due to the white snow. Still, that didn’t make it any easier to drive with snow swirling around us. I was the driver, yet could not make out where the road was beyond a foot or so ahead of us. Karen worked hard to assist me as best she could, with the hope that from the passenger’s side of the car she might be able to see some lane and road markings to guide me. As we crawled along with no other vehicles in sight, frustrated, concerned, and whatever else, I blurted out to Karen, “Pick a direction!” We launched into hysterical laughter. Out of lemons, we had just made lemonade – perhaps even a snow cone! On the spot, that phrase became famous for us, making history that is … Continue reading →

For the past several days I have felt that something big – in a positive way – was going to occur Wednesday. Well today is that day… I had no idea of the date until I received an email last night which included article excerpts referring to “9-9-9”. Ah, yes: 09/09/09 – of course! The email stated that “… the significance of the 9-9-9 is about the recoding and amplification of crystalline energy of both Earth and the human form.” And, it also said that “… this is not just a numerological curiosity in the Gregorian calendar, but that the date plays a profound objective role in the cosmic plan as we may understand this from the Mayan calendar directly leading up to the birth of a new world through the Ninth level, 9.9.9. … we thus have reasons to expect an unprecedented period of change in a very short period of time. ” [You can read more at: http://www.earth-keeper.com/EKnews_7-11-09.htm and http://www.calleman.com/content/articles/999_and_the_mayan_calendar.htm] I sensed it would be a big day, but I had no idea! As we go through losing our home within the next week or so; figuring out what to place in storage, sell, donate, or keep near … Continue reading →
