This morning during my meditation, two things repeatedly “called’ to me – the Tao Te Ching and Steel Pulse’s song “Chant a Psalm.” So, having learned to listen to that “still, small voice,” I immediately opened up my iTunes library after completing my meditation. Chant a Psalm, with its upbeat music and uplifting lyrics, never fails to [...]

The more I breathe, the more I clear. The more I clear, the more [...]

Let the healing begin!
Last night as I was lying in bed getting ready to fall asleep, I started to think about the 40 days of healing prayer that begin today. The question that kept churning in my mind was this – what was it within me that was causing the appearance of discord and disharmony within our government [...]

Imagining what if?
It is challenging these days to turn on the television, surf the internet or read a newspaper without being confronted by stark reminders of the diminishment in civility, respect and trust in the political discourse of our time. I have no doubt about the sincerity of many involved in the process as they pound the table [...]

Welcome to Inspiration Wire!
Einstein famously said that the most important question we can ask ourselves is this – is the Universe friendly? For our response to that question shapes and frames the lens through which we look at, and perceive, the world. This blog loudly proclaims “yes” in answer to Einstein’s question, and it is through this lens [...]
