A Window is Where the Wall is Absent

The life impulse to express and to connect arises in me and in all of us. This blog is a celebration of these life impulses. Please feel free to join in the conversation or to just visit. There is a Family Photo Album beneath the posts so you can "meet" my family and I. Welcome!

A miraculous field



 "Never bother naming an emotion again.


Just feel the energy of it."     Scott Kiloby




We think it's the emotion that hurts, when what actually 


causes the most pain is the word, the label, the name, the 


story we put on the emotion. 




An emotion experienced nonverbally is actually quite benign, 


even wondrous- one of the many colors of the rainbow of 


emotional experience.




Try it and see for yourself, experiments are fun.  It is 


possible to meet emotional experience with silent interest 


rather than fear.








It's so depressing to label sadness as sadness, but without 


the label... it's clear and sweet.



No emotion is an enemy, it's just a transient energy pattern 


in the miraculous field of being.

What is the well that never runs dry?



"Have you ever noticed that the present moment never abandons you?

It's the well that never runs dry."       Sara Exley




You are this moment, you are the well that never runs dry.
