The real gift is not that which is given, though, as much as it is the fact that something was given. The impact, then, becomes the goodwill and spiritual energy that passes between two individuals. The flow of generosity from one to another strengthens the bond between them. … Learning to give in this way elevates [...]

Garrett, Your 2010 focus was, “Be consistently aware of what I desire to do.” I believe it was this focus that got it all started; the energetic interaction in which you engaged with key nodes in your network.

Dave, How fitting it seems to write this as we approach Memorial Day. You will understand why. You came to me after receiving the charge to transform your yellow pad.

In my book, Wading the Stream of Awareness, my wife’s favorite chapter is the last, entitled simply – Love. I began that chapter with, and structured it around, a poem I wrote. To my leader: I need you to be you Afraid I’m not of who you really are I’m only afraid if you cannot [...]

Our personal liberation flows through our commitment to one another, and to gather during these moments is to honor the commitment. This is a rather personal post as I reflect on what gratitude means to my own [...]
