STICKS AND STONES AND WORDS: ANOTHER GOOD’N FROM “THE DAILY OM” I look forward to the Daily Om dispatches that land in my email inbox somewhere before the Vatican Information Service daily briefing on all things pope-ular and before the first of dozens of unwanted hey-look-what-our-senator/congressman(woman)/candidate-did-today messages. Today’s Om was one that might make Dennis Quaid’s character Cousin Eddie from the “National Lampoon’s _______ Vacation” franchise say: “BINGO!” For your edification:May 7, 2007 Feeling Our WordsWords Have Weight Words carry...

GODSTUFF THE CONSTANT GARDENER:IN THE GARDEN, HOPE SPRINGS ETERNAL Happy belated Beltane! What? Not ringing any bells? Beltane is the ancient Celtic festival, falling on or around May 1, that celebrates the beginning of the summer pastoral season, the start of the fertile planting period, the beginning of the hope of things to come. Most modern Celts, like myself, don’t celebrate Beltane unless, perhaps, they consider themselves pagans. I do not, but this week, as I’ve watched the heirloom tomato... Read more

PRAYERS OF THE PEOPLE: ‘Just pray for a tough hide and a tender heart.’ Ruth Graham said the quote above, and it came to mind as I was remembering my friend Robert who is recovering from some terrible injuries sustained when a car hit him while he was riding his bicycle a couple of weeks ago near his home in Sydney, Australia. Robert is one of those remarkable people who has the seemingly inherent ability to light up a room... Read more

SOMETHING REALLY INTERESTING … METAPHYSICAL TOURISM In case you missed it, log on and read ETHAN TODRAS-WHITEHILL’s fascinating (and sometimes downright funny) story from Sunday’s New York Times about touring the spirit world, as it were. Here’s a taste: No sound was heard in the burial chamber of the Great Pyramid as a tall, slender woman lay down in the pharaoh’s pitted granite sarcophagus, her flowing silver hair spreading beneath her.
