The Spiritual Life

“The spiritual life is not a life before, after, or beyond our everyday existence. No, the spiritual life can only be real when it is lived in the midst of the pains and joys of the here and now.” – Henri Nouwen

Message for the Wayshowers

This message is for all Wayshowers, no matter the name you put on it. The ones who courageously shine light on consciousnesses that are still lurking in the dark. If there has been something you have been holding back or waiting to shine light/love on. Now is the time, no more holding back. –http://www.zendenliving.com

Every Man Must Decide

“Every man must decide whether he will walk in the light of creative altruism or the darkness of destructive selfishness. This is the judgment. Life’s most persistent and urgent question is, What are you doing for others? “ — Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

Dr. King’s wise and profound words still speak to us today. We all must decide which path we will follow the light of creative altruism or the darkness of destructive selfishness. As we once again see racism and selfishness raising their ugly heads let us resolve to walk in the light and reach out to our brothers of all races, nationalities and religions.

Human Lighthouses

“Here’s to the ones who decided to become human lighthouses anyway, even after all the times they’ve been shipwrecked they still become a safe harbor.” — Stacie Martin.

The Inner Voice

I think of the inner voice as a compass or as a wayshower to guide our path. — Echo Bodine

We Need More Wayshowers

“We need more wayshowers, who have penetrated the fog of their own uncertainty to find something truthful. Something human and tragic and beautifully lost, something small but utterly true. Like cupping your hands around a tiny flame, if you can protect the young embers from the harsh winds of your dismissal, it may become a real heartfire. That fire then becomes a beacon for others to sail towards. Not to imitate it, but to emulate its quality of bravery, which has been left like a vibratory signature on the thing you’ve made.”

Work to be Done

“Empaths and Lightworkers did not arrive on this planet to lead a cheerful carnival parade into a perfect New Earth paradise. There is much work to be done before anyone will ever enter that promised land.” ― Anthon St. Maarten
