"Miracles happen to those who believe in them."

~ Bernard Berenson



"There are two ways to live: you can live as if nothing is a miracle; you can live as if everything is a miracle."

~ Albert Einstein



Miracles occur around us every day, if we open ourselves to them. It would be nice if the heavens opened and trumpets played whenever a miracle occurs, but all you really need to do is learn to recognize…

Thoughts about this forum

I think/hope that in this initial phase this forum becomes a place where people can find each other sharing the values (not really well defined yet) expressed in the video.

Of course I had a deep emotional reaction especially from Carlos' thoughts but there is a lot of room for personal interpretation at this point and likely other people have other ideas about the values. For instance Carlos was very careful with the use of the word faith and I am very grateful for that. I hope that faith… Continue

"Strong lives are motivated by dynamic purposes"

~ Kenneth Hildebrand



"The pure impulse of dynamic creation is formless; and being formless, the creation it gives rise to can assume any and every form."

~ Kabbalah



Within the heart of each of us smolders an interior fire that can flair up and excite us to act with vivacity and diligence. This flame burns away the doubts, feelings of incapacity and…

~*~ NATIVE AMERICAN PRAYER ~*~

O' GREAT SPIRIT,

Whose voice I hear in the winds,

And whose breath gives life to all the world,

hear me! I am small and weak, I need your

strength and wisdom.



Let Me Walk In Beauty, and make my eyes

ever behold the red and purple sunset.



Make My Hands Respect the things you have

made and my ears sharp to hear your voice.



Make Me Wise so that I may understand the

things you have taught my people.



Let Me Learn the… Continue

~*~ SOUL AWAKENING~*~

~Soul Awakening~



I never viewed myself

like this before

Just as poverty slips on you

Like night time’s caress

So a different way of being

Is draped on you too

Divorcing me from the person

I identified with

(For all we, as unawakened souls ever do

Is 'identifying with')

Transported from one chapter

To another

Never totally realising

The turning of the page

My personal script is so funny

Tragic and larger than… Continue

Has the environmental movement changed the way people understand and live in the world?

Environmentalism is a reactionary movement that has evolved with the technological industrialization of the western world. It has been the watchdog barking at the beast in our back yard, warning us when the beast has gotten too close or grown too large. While some have been hypnotized with the beasts impressive talents and promises of convenience, the watchdogs have continued growling at the beast's cleverly disguised veneer and sniffing at its rotten smelling smokestacks. The environmental… Continue

How we celebrated Chinese New Year

Sunday in Tao n Zen's garden

a celebration will transpire,

family together once again

convening close around the fire.



At sunset we will gather

our intentions very clear,

for all that really matters

in creating this New Year.



We'll be watching in the moonlight

waiting for the devas to appear,

whispering to the listening night,

promising all she longs to hear.



Honoring Mother Nature's orders

each one stewarding… Continue

There must be a better sense of distribution of richness and resources

There must be a better sense of distribution of richness and resources for us the very poor who cherish $0.10 just to pass by on a daily basis and still be humble enough to smile even in the worse scenarios!



Even though, we the very poor are trapped in the physical world there is still some of us whom are still in touch with our minds and souls and quite alert. The neo liberal capitalist economic model and a way of life offered to us have placed humanity in the list of endangered… Continue

Healing Wisdom 02 February







"Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one."

~Albert Einstein



"When you learn not to want things so badly, life comes to you."

~ Jessica Lange



Living with detachment is not withdrawing from life or into yourself as much as it is gaining an understanding of the bigger picture. The more we understand about the connection between all things, the more freedom we have to be liberated…

Groundhog Day? NOT …

February 2nd goes by many guises. In the U.S., it's popularly celebrated as Groundhog Day, when a small furry rodent supposedly either sees his shadow or doesn't, and the result determines whether or not we experience 6 more weeks of winter. But the day has deeper meanings than this.



In Celtic and Earth-based traditions, February 2nd is known as Imbolc. While also a harbinger of Spring, Imbolc celebrates the return of the Light in a more… Continue

Nice to be here

Hi Everyone,



I'm really happy that Carlos Santana is realizing his dream.

One reason is it's also my dream,



Most of us share in that dream.

I'll do what I can to help.



Music is a big part of my life and Carlos Santana and his music have been a real positive influence in this world.

He has brought me much joy since I was 15 years old.

~ Thomas Merton



"All human beings are interconnected, one with all other elements in creation."

Healing Wisdom 31 January









"Compassion is the antitoxin of the soul: where there is compassion even the most poisonous impulses remain relatively harmless."

~ Eric Hoffer



"Don't take offense where no offense is intended."

~ my mother



Sometimes it seems like no matter what is said, some individual will find offense with it. An inoffensive attitude is one that is filters not only words and actions as they are expressed, but…

End the War on Drugs

End the War on Drugs



Were President Obama

to remove the orange pyjamas

of all those wheelers, dealers, tokers and farmers

of marijuana



We would instantly have lost

A giant multi-faceted cost

From overcrowded prisons to kids and families traumatized

Hope somebody listens but if they do I'll be surprised...



In almost every ancient culture

amongst leaders, priests and kings

the ritual use of 'drugs' was part of… Continue
