“The blessing of a new year is the
reminder that we can begin again and again –
not just in January, but whenever we need to, with each dawn, each breath.
Some days I begin again dozens or hundreds of times.
We will all inevitably at times become distracted and weary.
We will wander from the clarity of knowing that is beyond articulation and understanding,
the moments of sitting in the center of what we are
and why we are here,
the awareness that is rooted in Love.

the moments of sitting in the center of what we are
and why we are here,
the awareness that is rooted in Love.
Often it is the deep longing to
reach for the Beloved within and around me that helped me begin again.
But sometimes I lose even this, cannot find the end of the thread of that longing that will take me home
to the Infinite Love I have tasted in moments of grace.
And then I find, to my astonishment, that even this lack, this loss of feeling and faith,
when willingly experienced fully,
can make me available to the longing that guides me home…”

“May you speak your deepest truth,
following nothing and nobody
but your own unique path

Be willing to stumble sometimes,
