Good Morning, God Thank You for Spring! And for a Sabbath Day in which I did play. A day in which my attention was caught by Green Roofs — literal green living roofs. I love the idea and I love

Unknown Variables and THE Expert

Good Morning, God.  Here I am — with my thought for the morning.  It’s the difference between expert advice and tradition.  Expert advice is something people have proven scientifically SHOULD work. Tradition is what HAS BEEN WORKING. What brought that

On not working

What do you know! Taking a day and setting aside all work — even most of the daily duties — opened up a time of sharing. Actually more than sharing, it made possible being together in a time of deep listening. And, I am surprised that I am surprised. How many gifts we pass by on our busy way.
