“An early-morning walk is a blessing for the whole day.” – Henry David Thoreau I believe this with all my heart. I practice it.

You are Within God

One in Essence
“We are one in essence but not in expression. That’s why it can be so hard to see the God in each of us. We each express it so differently.” — Genie Robbins We are all unique expressions of God. That does not make any one of us better or worse that the other, justContinue reading “One in Essence”
Walking the Walk
It is easier to talk about matters of faith, religion, and spirituality than actually walking our faith out in daily life. We are surrounded by examples of this every day.

I am talking about people who shine the light of God through their faces, who sometimes seem to not walk on this earth at all but to float above it. I wasn’t sure what these people had, but I knewContinue reading “Living the Inner Mystery in the Outer World”
