Love, Devotion & What is Purpose
Devotion is not some high-minded, grand, abstract thing. It is often found in an ordinary moment, in an ordinary day; it’s an injured animal on the side of the road, that we take home to care for it. When devotion finds us, it is an absolute, non-negotiable extend of hands, asking us to love wholeheartedly…

Weaving Life: Spindle, Shuttle and Needle
There is abundance of tales, lore and myth across many cultures, connecting spinning and weaving to the divine and to the threads of fate that lead us toward various destinations, and to each other. There is also the famous concept of The Web of Wyrd, which reminds us that it is our own actions every day that weave the yarn for the day after; a web marrying fate with destiny…

The Grandmother of Jesus + Divine Plans
Who was St. Anne and what does her story teach us about cultivating the right environment as we weave through us the Divine plan; about how the threads of fate align throughout the generations? Do we choose our children and our bodies before reincarnation?…

Doors, Liminality + Salt
When we can’t step away from our house, the simplest acts can carry great symbolic weight. We can take a new route by shifting the soul of our feet towards familiar destinations, allowing the new landscapes to inform us. We can move through a door because a story was deeply meaningful to us. Or through a feeling of great passion. Or through a scent…

The Choice: Love, I Will That I Am
Now is the time to choose love, not fear. We have to hold on, hold close and hold together. We have to align to a higher consciousness and tend to it consistently.

Storytime: Finding The Nameless Horse
Has he achieved such perfection? He penetrates the construction of the spirit. Only interested in the essential, forgetting the insignificant; penetrating into internal dignities, he’s lost all his sense of the external traits. He sees what he needs and does not pay attention to what is unnecessary. He is so wise that he no longer sees neither color nor shape…

Soulmates, No-Shows, Puzzles + The Purpose of Relationships
We need to understand that all people are purposeful in our life. When we define and categorize, we ultimately limit ourselves; we rob ourselves of the experience of a connection. I don’t think we should focus on definitions – it is about the experience. We need to learn to honor all of our connections rather than put them in some human-made boxes of definitions…

Mysticism and Poetry + Necklace of Indra
Poetry is art. Poetry dares us to think and to question – going inside of ourselves to explore our inner world. As we are being immersed into ourselves deeper and deeper, we flow unresistingly filling the empty spaces unseen before. We shape feelings, movements and experiences into something tangible – into words. Poetry is the expression of mysticism and the mystic’s inner experience…

The Necessity of Limits & Being Grateful for Them
“Our human and earthly limits, properly understood, are not confinements but rather inducements to fullness of relationship and meaning. Perhaps our most serious cultural loss in recent centuries is the knowledge that some things, though limited, are inexhaustible. If we always have a theoretically better substitute available from somebody or someplace else, we will never make the most of anything…

Love & Prayer
There is incredible power to this kind of devotion; of a deeply spiritual act that kneels us each and every time like nothing else ever could. Prayer is an intimate love song through which we enter into a relationship with the divine. Prayer is an offering of ourselves wholebodily and wholeheartedly. Prayer, despite its gentleness, is never afraid and in our hardest times, it gets its feet dirty holding us…

How to Enhance Our Energy + Psychic Protection & Spiritual Baths
Our body skins are beautiful; they protect our organs but they are not rigid boundaries to the world outside of us.

To keep ourselves tender yet protected, we need to take care of our energy – to nurture, protect and bless ourselves…

Magic, The Natural Connection, Rainmaker & Name Giving
Magic is a shapeshifter. The alchemists described it as “the ability to turn lead into gold” or in other words, it is the ability to turn something mundane into extraordinary. At its true essence, magic is a way of perceiving our world in a new way – engaging with it and falling in love with it again. It runs wild and free but it is not found outside of us – it is rooted and threads in our everyday life, in the soil of our soul…

What Do You Feed (and Why)? Story of Wolf.
We need to feed them both. Because when one is starved, it will wait around the corner in the shadow and come out craving for attention. Denying parts of ourselves essentially means rejecting ourselves. And anything suppressed becomes our master controlling us. Trust with Wolf. Let it guide you and free you. Peace is the mission…

The Importance of Receiving and Interdependence, as Reminded by The Monks’ Alms

Faces of God: Holding Life through its Waving Phases
Life has its own pulse. To see the face of God, may be we need to accept all of life’s aspects as they wave. Is there a purpose? Of course. But maybe it is just something beyond the understanding of our human condition; of a perception much higher than we will ever be able to fully realize in this life…

Nothing is as it Looks, as Reminded by a Sparrow
As I pass through the backyard heading home I see a little sparrow lying on the walkway. Not moving. I kneel next to it as my heart sinks hoping it’d move and fly away; hoping it isn’t dead but may be it is just … resting? But still, the sparrow is not moving. I look...
