One of the Aspects of the Work...


One of the aspects of the work 
is to be willing to change and adjust to new events.  
The mechanics, my mechanics, 
have a resistance to this amount of new changes. 
 Change does create a kind of friction 
and an opportunity for us to expand and grow.

Do Not Pray for Strength...



Dante Gabriel Rossetti

"Do not pray for strength. 
Pray to be pierced, pray to be opened and
willingly offer your pain 
in exchange for the birth of your soul.
No quarter must be given."

This Work is Not About Becoming Good...


Maud Taber Thomas

This work is not about becoming good...
The soul, the inner world, doesn’t live by the rules of this world 
and seemingly goes contrary to what the wishes, 
desires and rules of human beings are.
So it’s not about being good…
it’s about being present.

So There is the Soul...

William Holman Hunt

So there is the soul guiding the ship in protecting itself at all costs.
