Today, it was good to recall what the Skin Horse said to the Rabbit. I thought of my mother, her body nearly gone. Yet that bright light still shining through her. Her life was hard too . The stress of it caught up to give her cancer. Christ says in…

Thank you very much for sharing this. It was my favorite book, which I contemplated when going through very hard times, like the rabbit not liking the process, not knowing if I would survive. I heard guidance that I was being prepared to have the R.…

“Real isn’t how you are made,” said the Skin Horse. “It’s a thing that happens to you…” “Does it hurt?” asked the Rabbit. “Sometimes,” said the Skin Horse for he was always truthful. “When you are Real you don’t mind being hurt.” “Does it happen a…

Hide and Seek

“You say you seek God, but a ray of light doesn’t seek the sun; it’s coming from the sun...Because you don’t know that who you are is one with God, you believe all these labels about yourself: I’m a sinner, I’m a saint, I’m a wretch, I’m a worm and no man, I’m a monk, I’m a nurse. These are all labels, clothing. They serve a purpose, but they are not who you are. To the extent that you believe these labels, you believe a lie, and you add anguish upon anguish. It’s what most of us do for mostContinue

The Noonday Demon

Cognitive psychology has become aware that much depression is maintained, even generated, by getting caught up in negative patterns of thinking. –Martin Laird, Into the Silent Land

I struggled with depression for several years. I cannot say for certain how long, because it took me a long time to realize that I was depressed. Like Hamlet, I found weary, stale, flat and unprofitable all the uses of this world, and it took a long time to figure out that the problem wasn’t with the world, bu… Continue

The Nursery Magic

“Real isn’t how you are made,” said the Skin Horse. “It’s a thing that happens to you…”
“Does it hurt?” asked the Rabbit.

“Sometimes,” said the Skin Horse for he was always truthful. “When you are Real you don’t mind being hurt.”

“Does it happen all at once, like being wound up,” he asked, “or but by bit?”

“It doesn’t happen all at once,” said the Skin Horse. “You become. It takes a long time. That’s why it doesn’t often happen to people who break easily, or have sharp edges, or who have t

Inukshuks

A friend of mine had a very negative view of marriage. The way she saw it, people treated it too much like a finish line--the ceremony completed, they were “done.” Of course, anyone who has been married for any length of time knows this to be far from true, but the divorce rate being what it is, my friend may have been on to something. People know how to get married, but often don’t give the same attention to making a life together. If people put as much thought into being married as they did in… Continue

Hi, Jahan. We just performed at the Philadelphia Cathedral's annual MLK event, which is where I met Rhetta. We'll also be at the PSALM Salon on February 27.
