The presentations at this site cover a long time period. Each one represents part of an on-going Pilgrimage, and the writer's ideas, practices, and experience have changed over time. This change is the quality of any living Journey. Please read with this in mind, allowing the inner Teacher to speak to you as you need at this particular time in your own living Journey. Thanks!

Holiness, not happiness, is the chief end of the human being.

*Oswald Chambers.

Prayerfulness requires the accompaniment of
a joyful intent to be holy and live holy

This does not mean
the self-righteousness whereby
one feels superior morally to others

Rather, this holiness
prepares one to feel more
one with others

This holiness
is not about a rigid life of rightness

Rather, this holiness
is about being natural and open
reverent toward life, others, and self

Holiness is
not an addition to life
a life of ought-to or should-not
being religious or not
being spiritual or not

Holiness
is simply the life
we are naturally, thankfully to live
as one Communion seen and unseen

In Holiness
self-centeredness finds itself surrendering gladly
to the one Center of everyone
