SPIRITUAL ESSENCE:

Focusing on the essence of spirituality from all times, places, cultures…and beyond. Serving and cultivating the innate, inherent spiritual nature contained within all: the religious, the non-religious, the spiritual but not religious, the atheist, the agnostic, the mystic; whatever one does or does not consider oneself. We are beings at many different levels with many different aspects: physical, energy/life force, mind, intellect, emotion; but at our deepest common core, we are all spiritual beings. We all yearn to love and be loved, to nurture and be nurtured, to express and serve and realize each of our unique destinies. We can all help each other along our individual journeys, united by our common needs and yearnings.

Quote of the Week #156 - Listening/Hearing for Non-material Sustenance


Every one who is thirsty, come and drink. He who has no money, come, buy and eat. Come, buy wine and milk without money and without price. Why do you spend your money for that which is not bread and your labor for that which does not satisfy? Listen carefully to Me, and eat what is good. Let your soul delight in abundance. Incline your ear, and come to Me. Hear, that your soul will live…


--Isaiah 55:1-3, The Living Torah translation by Rabbi Aryeh Kaplan

Quote of the Week #95 - Another Train

Another Train
Music and Lyrics by Pete Morton

The beginning is now
And will always be
You say you’ve lost your chance
That fate brought you defeat
But that means nothing
You look so sad
You've been listening to those
Who say you’ve missed your chance

There's another train
There always is
Maybe the next one is yours
Get up and climb aboard
Another train

You feel you’re done
There's no such thing
Although you’re standing on your own
Your own breath is king
The beginning is now
Don't turn around
Regrets about mistakes
Will only drain you

We crawl in the dark sometimes
And think too much
Then we fill our heads with crazy things
That only break our hearts
And I know you've seen
What the earth can do
When it's dragging down another load
Of worrisome fools

I know it's hard
When you feel confused
You can cram yourself with fear
And you you feel you cannot move
You’re building worlds
That don't exist
Imagination plays
The worst tricks

There's another train
There always is
Maybe the next one is yours
Get up and climb aboard…
