Happy Thanksgiving

“O brother, Wisdom is pouring into you 

from the beloved saint of God. 

You've only borrowed it. 

Although the house of your heart 

is lit from inside,
that light is lent by a luminous neighbor. 

Give thanks; don't be arrogant or vain; 

pay attention without self-importance."
~ Rumi

Happy Thanksgiving – There are so many things I am immensely grateful for, but I am especially grateful to everyone who is supporting Jessica on her journey, a journey that is as spiritual as it is physical.

She and I have been participating in the “Oneness Experiment” and are learning to embrace every moment, every situation and every person, without rejection or preference. We are learning to welcome even the things that feel difficult because on the other side of discomfort is transformation. Her diagnosis is like the sand that irritates the oyster in order to create a pearl, or the heat that turns coal into diamonds, or the cocoon that allows the caterpillar to transform into a beautiful butterfly. I am witnessing a miraculous transformation in her and it is a transformation fueled by love ~ the love of friends, family, and even total strangers! So, if you are reading this blog I would like to tell you that I am eternally gratefully for everything and everyone, especially YOU!

Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours~ God Bless!!!
