Prayer for the Season: Free

I feel time passing.

May I yet know the Truth.

And may it set me free.

Free of the mind that chatters.

The thoughts that chain.

The beliefs that bruise

the very soul of this mortal life.

May I be free of it all.

Unencumbered by hate,

By the violence of my own mind.

Free of greed and fear and jealousy

That speak of a small quivering heart.

Free of it all.

May I be open and graceful,

Grace filled and – free.

Finally, truly – free.

Amen.

Moving through Blocks to Change

If you’re in the area, please consider joining me for a talk I’m giving for the Blue Zone project in Brevard, NC. We’ll have a potluck vegetarian meal at noon at the 7th day Adventist church on Tuesday, August 16th (tomorrow!)

I’ll be delving into the blocks that get in our way of making the changes-for-the-better we say we want to make.

In my decades of practice, I’ve noticed that most people already know what they need to be doing to support their health and well-being. What I’ve been fascinated by is the apparent disconnect between their (our) knowing and the doing. What is that about?

What I’ve observed is that to take the time to square off on the barriers in our own heads – the stories we tell, the beliefs we hold – is the most fruitful thing we can do to actually put into practice what we know to be true.

I would love to have you be part of our group to explore this.
