A walk at the crest

June 4, 2017

From our house we enjoy gazing at the North Peak of the Sandia Mountains. The North Peak is the tallest point in the photo below, reaching 10,447 feet.

Resisting with joy

March 7, 2017

It swung in high gear at the Women’s March in January, and now, six weeks later, resistance is clearly a long-term deal. We’re running a marathon not a sprint.

A time for hopeful activity

When a politician takes power by inciting people’s most vicious prejudices, aided by interferences both foreign and domestic, there is good reason to fear.

A loving-kindness prayer for the solstice

December 21, 2016

At the pause of the solstice, when the sun completes its farthest journey and turns in a new direction, we too can pause to breathe deeply and welcome a new year. This simple loving-kindness meditation comes from Stephen Levine: May I dwell in the heart. May I be free from suffering. May I be healed….  Read More…
