When the soul has space to breathe

When the soul has space to breathe
it flourishes. That is its nature

Retreat TONIGHT: Simplify Your Life from the Inside-Out

I am leading the following retreat TONIGHT – see you there.

March Retreat: Simplify Your Life from the Inside-Out

March 14, 7-8:30pm CT

Want to declutter and clarify your inner world? We will use a 500-year old spiritual exercise to do exactly that. Then, we’ll delve into how this clarity revolutionizes your outer world, including:

⁎ Why and how to say “no”;
⁎ Draw boundaries;
⁎ Deepen into our wholeness in a broken world;
⁎ Align our actions to our spirit’s deepest yearning.

You’ll have private time to reflect or journal, and we’ll process as a group to gain insights and collective wisdom. Don’t miss out on this opportunity to simplify and transform your inner and outer world.

I’m giving mini-retreats every month: Ongoing care for your ongoing life. With my tender, strong facilitation. For you.

Come on over! Equity rates, deep soul care.

Learn more and Join us here.

see you tonight! – mc

On trust and strange hunger

When you trust in the right source
forever satisfaction

When you trust in the other sources
forever strange hunger

The release of sadness

Just as clouds gather, carry rain, and then release
so too my soul, for pain; I let it all fall

Please let me in

Please let me in, says the Lord
Pride has shut your door

The comfort of death

Death is just fine for me, says the earth
so don’t be afraid to die
gateway to transformation
to becoming fertile dirt:
Fear not the process of fertility

The surrender process

You must work with all your strength to surrender
until it is time to surrender that, too

You have walked the path of death before

You have walked the path of death before
so take comfort
rejoice in our history
you know what happens next

Excuse me

Excuse me, but God just told me to praise,
so pardon me while the praise wheel inside me spins and whirs;
Do not worry. I am still here.
I am more here than ever
