I have been thinking about heroes. Real, down to earth, hard working heroes. There are so many. Risking their own welfare to help others. Standing their post to keep things stable. There are all kinds of heroism needed these days and, thanks be to Spirit, we are blessed to have it in abundance.

Just when you least expect it, that is when Spirit will surprise you with good news. Just when you need it most, that is when Spirit will provide. Just when you thought you did not have a chance, that is when Spirit appears with a fresh idea. With Spirit, you never have to say never.

An old world is passing away, a new world is emerging. We are midwives to this change. We can do anything but stop it. Now is the time to uphold our values. Now is the time to unite around them. Now is the time to steer change in a positive direction.

Come stand by me on this windswept hill, face the fury of the wind, brave the lightning flashing its warning, and shout above the clash of thunder: peace, peace we cry, into the mouth of war, peace, in every conflict, peace to our war weary world. Peace!

Our spirituality is stronger than any tank because our love is always stronger than any physical power. If we need to demonstrate how formidable we are then let us celebrate the millions who stood together in diversity. Justice and truth will not be overcome.

It is a day where all prayers for peace are welcome. May we stand in love and unity as we pray safety for all.

I send my energy against chaos. All that I do has a single intent: to calm and strengthen. I direct the authority Spirit has given me at the center of the conflict. And when I do, I feel the chaos diminish, even if only slightly. Join me. Focus on the core of chaos and release your love.

You face many challenges, some known, many known only to yourself, but you never face any of them alone. Whether you have a clear sense of a sacred presence or not, it does not matter, for that presence is seeking you. And always will.
June 8, 2025 at 10:52 AM
Bless you, all of you, who are making your witness in this world. Bless you for trying, bless you for standing to be counted, bless you for showing up and taking your part. Your presence is an inspiration. Your support a gift. Your vision, irreplaceable.

World peace: a beauty pageant answer or a spiritual answer? We all wish for a world at peace, but most of us know wishing will not make it so. And yet, it is our goal, our vision, our job description. World peace is not a punchline, but a promise we can keep.

Let my life be lived in gratitude, for every precious sunrise to every magical sunset, let me be thankful for what I have been privileged to experience. The cool air of heaven has touched my skin, the scent of its gardens has embraced me. My life is a hymn of thanks.

Freedom is a fragile gift, one that we must cherish and defend, for it allows us all to be who we are, not constrained by other’s definitions, but empowered to live fully, a testimony to the diversity of creation, the holy image cast in a coat of many colors.

I have come to the realization that my supply of love is inexhaustible. Recently, I have been trying to share the love I have without measure, just pouring it out in every direction. Not only have I not run out, now I notice the more I give the more I have. The reverse physics of love.

Some soft summer evening, sitting outside to catch the breeze and watch the stars, you will hear a sound like whispers. It will be your ancestors. Listen carefully, slow the message down. They will be sending a blessing, to any who may be listening, on a soft summer evening.

How about a global cease fire? If we really want to re-set the relationships nations have today, then starting with a universal cessation of violence would make a good place to begin. A worldwide month of peace and prayer: a chance for every faith and every nation to engage in peacemaking.

I have sat on lonely hill tops long before dawn could find me, the northern wind wrapped about me, watching the stars for a sign, listening to the Earth for an echo. The search for life beyond is not science fiction, but spiritual reality. The signs of Spirit are there, wherever we look.

I am not giving up. I am not quitting or going away. I intend to stay right where I am, advocating for justice, speaking up for the poor and marginalized, calling on people to love one another. And I am not the only one. There are many of us now. With more appearing every day.

How beautiful our Mother, the Earth. She stands beside the sun, wrapped in shawls of cloud, her blue skirt and green apron caught on the breeze, her head wreathed in the Northern Lights, her voice in the clear stream, her eyes in the sparkling seas. How beautiful, our Mother, the Earth.

Love follows where you go. And it will linger after you are gone. The love you create by word or action abides. It shelters those with whom you share it. It grows a spiritual climate. It heals, enlightens and reconciles. Love follows: when you walk in a blessing way.

Caring enough, to strive to help, takes courage. I want to celebrate every person who makes this commitment – you are the foundation on which hope is built. Those who try, lead.

I do not know what is to come. But I do know, whatever it may be, we will do better if we face it together. Together, we present a united front for justice, a clear option for mutual respect, and a hope for our shared future. Together, we generate a love that changes reality.

We shall overcome. All of us who are on the margins. All of us who feel vulnerable and afraid. All of us who are struggling with illness or financial pressure. We shall overcome. Whatever we must confront, whatever we must change. Listen to the promise repeated around the world: we shall overcome.

Whenever you are feeling down, whenever life is getting out of balance, then put on a music that makes you smile, let it fill your space with sound, and dance. Dance, dance, dance. Even sitting in your favorite chair: dance. In your heart, in your mind, in your soul: dance.

What you most need now in your life I do not know, but I pray it for you with all my heart. We are in kinship. Community is our vision. Reconciliation is our work. We learn to live together: we unite the world in love.
