As a member of Spiritual Directors’ International, I participated in a Native American Spirituality workshop. The messages were profound.

When I'm in the unfamiliar, I disappear. I steady my breath. Today, I step over the threshold into my alignment.

Life is full of opposites. The only consistent non-changing aspect is my inner light, my inner spark, my inner fire.

On this marked day of renewal for life, for love, for all sentient beings on this Earth, I offer this prayer.

My body is a feedback system. I tune in every morning and get today’s forecast. Am I in my body? I feel my body sensations.

Covid is looking in my window. I experience a guided meditation early this morning, and tears welled up. I choose to face my fear.

I know there are things you want. I know you want to be in charge. But integration is called for. It feels like death but it is not.

I breathe in patience and breathe out compassion. I stand as one with my spirit and human body, guided by my soul. I am whole.
