This Is The Sacred Moment

Who Will Remember The Heroes of Peace?

I post this every year on Veteran’s Day, because I think it matters. It’s the best piece of writing I’ve ever read. Of course, I’m a little prejudiced.  It was written by my sister about our brother and our father. My personal connection to our veterans has always been through my father, Frank, and my brother, Greg. They are buried a few steps from each other at Fort Sam Houston National…

My First Time in The Shadow of The Moon

During the Total Eclipse on July 11, 1991

There is a Total Eclipse of the Sun coming to America on April 8, 2024.

The path of totality will streak across the sky near my San Antonio home, in Kerrville, Texas, as it makes its way across the North American continent. 

If I am blessed to be alive, I will be in the glorious, elusive shadow. 

But it won’t be my first experience in the Shadow of the…

Blessings, Miracles & Grace

Be a deliverer of blessings. Be a creator of miracles. Be a vehicle of grace.

We have such power to be a force for good in this world. But it is so easy to become lost in the trance of illusion. All matter is energy and vibration. Your thoughts are energy and vibration. You are energy and vibration. You can choose to elevate your vibration and align your energy with the purest power.

You can…

My Christmas Wish for You

If you are reading this right now (and you are), This message is for you… I am wishing you the merriest of Christmases. And as the world celebrates the miracle of the birth of the Christ child, No matter what your faith, my wish is that you download that Christ consciousness into your heart and into your soul so that you can directly experience a Christmas miracle. In the words of my friend Kinky…

Your Head vs Your Heart

 Trust your heart. There is your head and there is your heart. There is the monkey mind and there is the gateway to Heaven. There is conditioned response and there is the wisdom of the Universe. There is safety and there is danger. (This is an illusion, don’t buy into it) There is fear and there is love. Choose love. Choose danger. Choose the wisdom of the Universe. Choose the gateway to…

What You Came Here To Discover

Life isn’t black and white. Although we may wish it were. But it’s not that simple. Life is grey and blue and purple and red and every color of the rainbow. Life is not what you grew up thinking it was. Life is now. And often contradictory and paradoxical. Just when you think you’ve figured it out, it expands beyond your comprehension. Yet, it’s so often wondrous and loving along the way. Yes, we…

That ominous day on the calendar.

I suspect most of us have one.

The day that takes you back.

In my case, it is the day that everything changed.

Tragedy rained from the sky.

October 22nd 1980.

It has been 38 years, but this day is always dark for me.

My brother Greg, piloting a fighter jet on a routine training mission with his weapons systems officer, ascended into the October sky from…

We repeat what we don’t repair

We repeat what we don’t repair.

So true. In this cosmic classroom called life, there are recurring themes, recurring challenges and recurring relationships.

This is all a part of your evolution and an opportunity for you to choose once again and approach the moment with a higher purpose.

When you do, when you come from a place of love instead of fear, the moment and the world opens up. The…

Forgive Yourself

For some reason we are hard wired for self loathing. It is an odd aspect of the human condition.

The critic inside your head is quick to beat you up.

You must let this go.

You must override this.

Take conscious control of your thoughts.

You are the master of your mind when you choose to be. And you must make this choice.

Forgiveness is one of the most powerful forces in the…

The Best Time to Plant a Tree…

  plant your seeds

  The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is now. – #ChineseProverb

  There is vast wisdom here. We often think of the current moment as ordinary or even mundane.

It isn’t.

This moment is oozing with possibilities for wondrous things that you can personally create in this world if you choose to. The seeds are in your heart, your mind and your soul.…

My New Year’s Wish for You (and Me)

This Is The Sacred Moment

  The clock strikes midnight

Are you ready?

Do you realize

You are given a gift

  A new day

A new year

A new chance

  To begin again

To wipe the slate clean

To see the world with new eyes

  To trust your heart

Instead of the tired voices

In your head

  To take the leap of faith

That has always beckoned you

  My new year’s wish for you

(and for me)

  Is that we realize

Th…

Do you feel it? The moment darkness reaches its apex And the bitter cold evokes your grief While warmth, light and summer sun Seem distant You realize The longer you live And the seasons change This frigid darkness Is merely a fleeting precursor To the return of the light Through orbiting spheres And the dance of all creation Repeating itself Again and again and again After countless cold, dark…
