  • Hilma of Klint

    “She was well-educated,
    she had a mind of her own,
    and she painted like nobody else.”
    ~ opening words from the trailer of the Zeitgeist Films
    “Beyond the Visible: Hilma of Klint.”

    The jigsaw puzzle she had borrowed from the public library featured an image done by the artist Hilma of Klint, born in Sweden in 1862. Hilma was both an artist and a mystic. Her paintings are considered among the first major abstract works in Western art history. Hilma died in 1944.

    Leafing through the April/May 2025 edition of the Smithsonian Magazine she was surprised and delighted to see an article featuring Hilma of Klint! What are the odds of that??? She was awestruck to be seeing the article on the very day she was doing the puzzle of the Hilma piece….

    She does not subscribe to the Smithsonian magazine but a friend she seldom sees had sent this edition to her by mail because the cover story is about the Buddha and the friend said she didn’t know anyone else interested in the Buddha.

    The magazine arrived many days earlier, but as she had time to do a puzzle that day she thought she best also look at the free magazines which had collected. Among the pile was the Smithsonian. She felt she should check out the story of the Buddha and thank her friend for sending it.

    And there was Hilma waiting for her!

    She writes, “It was so out of my control. It was a great teaching for me that I do not have to control everything. TRUST Life. Things will unfold without your pushing them along.”

    Her sense of wonder amplified as she looked again at a drawing she herself had done during the pandemic. Perhaps she, too, was both an artist and a mystic. The urge to draw circles highlighting energy or essence that might otherwise be missed was palpable as she saw deeper meaning in her persistent inner calling to “Pick up the brushes….”

    Where is the beginning of a ring? What is the beginning of a climate with four seasons? Which stage of a butterfly is the beginning or the end? In starting this blog post, I know not these answers.

    “The Game of Life” is a Sacred Story posted on 4 July 2025:

      He took The Game of Life & How to Play It by Florence Scovel Shinn with him to the beach. They were not going to spend the whole day as they were planning to visit a friend. Arriving on the friend’s porch, he mentioned the book adding that it was a small book and perfect for beach reading, plus, it was something he had wanted to read for a long time.

      Soon their sharing became deep enough he was making a few notes on his phone. As their visit was winding down he said, “Earlier you shared a quote — until it is felt in the body, peace is just a word — and you did not give an attribution.” Then he asked, “Where did that come from?”

      “I don’t have an attribution,” she replied, “because someone shared it at church on Father’s Day without an attribution. I have not tried to find out where it came from but I find it to be very powerful.”

      He began reading to her the conclusion from his AI search for the attribution: “The quote — until it is felt in the body, peace is just a word — is most likely attributed to Florence Scovel Shinn….

    The Sacred Story “Positivity” posted a bit later on 4 July 2025:

      She received the following list of “Affirmations & Denials” from The Game of Life and How to Play It by Florence Scovel Shinn in a text message from a friend.

    Moments later she read the Daily Word July 1, 2025:

      With positivity, I embrace all aspects of life. Positivity means living free of doubt, seeing clearly, and feeling secure. Even when my worldly fortunes shift, I maintain my positive outlook and believe the presence and power of God is in and through all things.

      I understand the ebb and flow that is part of everyone’s life. If I find myself in undesirable circumstances, I honor my feelings by witnessing my fleeting negative thoughts and feelings with self-compassion. When I feel ready, I release and let them go.

      I deny that negativity has any power over me. I use affirmations to realign myself with my positive nature. I accept the conditions of my life even as I strive to improve them. Positivity is my way forward. With gratitude, I affirm God is with me as I claim my highest good.

      Set your minds on things that are above,
      not on things that are on earth.
      ~ Colossians 3:2

    Take note that this body of work was first published in 1925 — 100 years ago! I was so inspired by Shinn’s works I created the following composite affirmation for myself:

    I do not resist any situation. I put it in the hands of Infinite Love and Wisdom. Let the Divine idea now come to pass.

    Infinite
    Love
    and
    Wisdom
    = LAW

    I am in perfect harmony with the working of the LAW. I stand aside and let Infinite Intelligence make easy and successful my way.

    True confession is that I am the “she” in both of these Sacred Story posts. And the rest of this subsequently sacred story is even a bit more shocking….

    We have had an ongoing Xfinity internet issue since we got back to Michigan in April. “Eric” came in May and ran a bright orange temporary wire from the utility pole to the house and someone was to come back in the next week or two to bury the line. Michigan Gas Utility Company came and marked the gas line with spray paint on our lawn.

    On June 6, we received a text message saying, “You’re all set! Your new Xfinity underground cable line is complete. Get in touch if you need anything. Otherwise, enjoy your Xfinity service.”


    John and I had both been home all day on June 6 and no one had come to bury the cable and remove the temporary line. By the first of July the paint line on the grass marking the gas lines had faded and John was very tired of having to mow around the orange wire. We were again receiving the messages, “Your internet connection has been restored.”

    On Wednesday, July 2, I spent two hours of real time (not an exaggerated description) on a text chain during which I was offered two free Apple Smart Watches. When pushed for more information, I was told the bill for the two free watches with all the taxes and fees would be $25 monthly only. During this call, I discovered we had been charged $100 for “professional installation” on our June bill! I requested a refund. Even as I received both text and email messages saying our refund request could not be approved and the ticket had been closed, the text chat assured me I was getting the money back.

    Although I had been told the reason I had to stay on the text chat responding to each entry immediately with a word or even an emoji was so an appointment could be confirmed, when the text chat ended, I still did not have an appointment.

    Thursday morning was beautiful. Cool, good air quality, low wind, sunny. I headed out for a nice long bike ride. About 2 miles from home I stopped at a couple of garage sales. Walking back to my bike I suddenly $h!t my pants. (No, fecal incontinence is not a normal thing for me.) I had no choice but to high tail it back home.

    As I gingerly slid my butt onto my bike seat, I affirmed, “I resist nothing.”

    When I arrived at the house via the back yard, an Xfinity truck was pulling up in front of our house. With as much decorum as I could garner, I showed “Benjamin” where the orange wire was and updated him on our issues. As I headed into the house to change my clothes I quickly snapped a photo of the truck and sent it in a text message to John who was having coffee with his morning friends.


    He replied with two words: “No shit.”

    I wrote back, “OMG! Wait ’till I tell you the rest of the story!”

  • Wholesome and Wonder-full

    In meditation, the aim is to
    know the whole experience: the
    thoughts, feelings, and sensations
    surrounding an emotion, and the
    behavior of the mind — especially
    whether its motivation is whole-
    some or unwholesome.

    ~ The Daily Tejaniya

    This recognition of wholesome or unwholesome motivation is a game changer. In the same way that the right amount of spice is delicious and too little or too much spice is not, that tender lane of wholesomeness brings a yummy peace. For one thing, it keeps you in the present moment.

    Yesterday, Stacey and Rachel and I spent the morning garage sale shopping. Adam and Rachel just bought a BIG house in Lebanon. The house is very empty right now and with so many possibilities everything can feel a bit overwhelming. We had a wonderful time getting to know Rachel’s vision and went home with some really good finds!

    The round mirror ($5) is currently hanging near the front door entry way. Will it stay there as they continue to furnish their home? Only time will tell. Below the mirror is a piece she got for half price at an estate sale. Sometimes we can be uncomfortable with what is happening. We might not notice if we are missing blessings that are also unfolding. I certainly experienced this supporting clients through the birthing process while I was a working as a doula.

    Every moment with our great grandson, Jackson, brings this home. He is still nonverbal and not potty trained yet. But he is doing things this visit he could not do when we were with him on our way back to Michigan from Florida the first week of April.

    Everybody is coming here today for pool time and burgers. Tomorrow John and I will go to Lebanon and spend some time helping Adam and Rachel. Tuesday we will head back home.

    I posted this wisdom from Gratefulness.org on my Facebook page a few days ago, along with a fun filtered photo of Stacey and me laughing:

      Let the laughter come, even if it has not been heard for a very long time, especially if times are hard and the future uncertain. Laughter is as important in adversity as wisdom and courage.

      ~ Steven Charleston

    Moments here include laughter and the wholesome motivations mean our days are wonder-full….

  • Another Quarter!

    She had reached out to a friend inviting her for a bike ride but the friend was not available, and she was feeling a bit lonely as she headed out alone.

    Last year this time her close friend was navigating end-of-life. After her friend had passed, she had come in spirit saying she would send quarters.

    Crossing the street at the four-way stop, she saw a quarter!

    She motioned to the approaching van to stop and she reached down and picked up the quarter. Spontaneously, she motioned to the driver of the van to roll down her window.

    “Thank you for stopping for me. I had to pick up a quarter. Last year this time my good friend died. She promised me she would send me quarters from heaven,” she shared.

    “You are giving me chills,” the driver of the van responded.

    Peace is only a word until it is felt in the body…. She had heard those words at church the previous morning and another quarter allowed her to feel that peace now.
    People do leave their bodies, but they do not leave their loved ones.

  • I’m Here for You

    Her daughter had a biopsy on her leg and it came back squamous cell carcinoma. She was to have an excision that would be done by a plastic surgeon to minimize scarring. She sent a message to a prayer list, saying, “Our daughter would use words asking for prayers for those doing her procedure; requesting that she have peace of mind and minimal discomfort and also that they be able to remove all of the sick cells, and that she would heal easily and completely.”

    She continued, “I would add that anything else be removed along with the tissue: anything that blocks or limits our daughter’s health and well-being on any level. Let this be a healing on all levels over all times: memory, belief, attitude, behavior. May the ultimate result be freedom from all that she and all beings would be better off without. Pray that this experience will be a deep healing blessing Stacey, her family and friends, the whole earth and beyond. Let it be a feeling-based prayer. Amen.”

    Included in the message was information on feeling-based prayer by Gregg Braden:

      Prayer researchers identify multiple kinds of prayer, and everyone has a place. For me, prayer is like a tool. It’s like if we have a toolbox, different tools can be used for different things. Different prayers may be used for different things. There are prayers of supplication. For example, when we feel powerless to do anything in our world and we ask for intervention, “Dear God, if you let my car get to the bottom of the freeway, this one time I will never let my gas tank get this low again.” That’s a prayer of supplication. There are prayers where we literally petition a higher power. “Almighty I Am, I petition the Lord for the right to heal and be healed now in all past, present, future generations.” That’s a petitionary prayer.

      There is a form of prayer that typically has not been recognized by modern prayer researchers, and it is the form of prayer that is used by the indigenous peoples to do seemingly miraculous things, including healing of the body. It is feeling-based prayer. It is feeling the feeling as if the prayer has already been accomplished, rather than asking an external force to perform this thing, this healing or this miracle, for us. The difference in this mode of prayer is we become part of the solution rather than feeling powerless and asking for an external intervention.

      When we feel the feeling that our perfect relationship is already present, our abundance is already present, the healing in our body has already happened, we set into motion a cascade of events that reflect that feeling that modern physics is only beginning to bear out through quantum theory. Entanglement, the principle of interconnectedness, of us being connected to the world beyond our body, as well as the world within our bodies. The heart – and the heart-brain connection – these are the tools. They provide the mechanism for us to make these communications.

      So, prayer, when we say prayer, [we mean] a feeling-based prayer, does have the potential to influence the world outside of our bodies through electrical and magnetic and quantum forces we’re only beginning to understand. But it also has the ability, through that feeling, when we feel the feeling that we are already healed, for example, that we go into the heart-brain coherence without the attachment to the outcome, okay, and we’re feeling the feeling, and we can see that in our mind, our mirror neurons are seeing the healing in the presence of a field that supports that healing without the judgment, without the attachment, without the goodness or the badness or the rightness or their wrongness.

      And this is what frees us, frees our body to respond very, very quickly.

      Healing, what we call healing, is harmony. It’s bringing our body into harmony with itself and with the forces of the planet that we live upon. And heart-based harmony, heart-brain harmony and heart-based prayer are ancient tools that have been validated in modern laboratories, now that tell us precisely how this works and what to do.

    Following the surgery, an update on her daughter reported the surgery went well and she has showering restrictions for two days and directions to follow for wound healing until the stitches come out in two weeks and thanking everyone for the prayers. She soon received an email from a friend on the prayer list:

    Please tell your daughter “Thank You” for me. I will follow her example on Friday with surgery with the same diagnosis. The location on my aging body (all 82 and 3/4 years of it) is on the back of the left leg below the knee and on the upper right arm just below the shoulder joint. You have shaped my requests for the better. I wish my husband was here with skin on to walk with me through this also but I know he will coach me through this as he has all of the other past hiccups since he passed.

    You don’t always know so directly how much your experiences touch others but there is always someone saying, “I’m here for you.” Feeling-based prayer going forth!

  • Say “I Do”- Marriage as Sacrament

    I may have previously written about this, but I am intentionally not searching, because whether or not I have previously written about it, today I need to write about it again. One of the women who is part of our Glen Aire Wednesday evening jam was singing in the choir and we were invited to a nearby church for a program of gospel and hymn singing. I enjoyed the melody of most of the numbers, and while I resonated to some of the lyrics, I had an unpleasant reaction to the theology of original sin.

    Yesterday we attended a wedding at that same church. It was a beautiful ceremony with a very special couple. The mother of the groom was in our youth program way back in the 1970’s. She is actually the one who introduced me to Healing Touch! We are so blessed to still have her in our lives. She even chose to move into Glen Aire after her mom and dad had both passed. Although I have officiated dozens of weddings since 1997, I learned some new things:

    In addition to the six adorable flower girls, two little boys provided “Ring Security” complete with bow tie, badge, earphones, dark glasses — and a safety deposit box designed to hold rings!

    While our friend and the mother of the bride were lighting the individual candles that the couple would use to light their unity candle “A Mother’s Love” by Jim Brickman was playing. Sharing some of the powerful lyrics:

      Thank you for watching over me
      All of the sleepless nights you lay awake
      Thank you for knowing when to hold me close
      when to let me go
      Thank you for every stepping stone
      And for the path that always leads me home
      I thank you for the time you took
      to see the heart inside of me
      You gave me the roots to start this life
      and then you gave me wings to fly
      and I learned to dream
      because you believed in me
      There’s no power like it on this earth
      No treasure equal to its worth
      The gift of a mother’s love

    After lighting the unity candle, the couple and then the two witnesses signed the marriage license. Getting that task done was often more difficult than performing the ceremony, so what an insightful way of transforming the mundane into something deeply meaningful. Following the signing of the license, a music video to “When God Made You” by E. Carswell and M. O’Brien showed the bride and groom from little to now, culminating with their engagement photos.

    An interesting tidbit about this couple is that they were born in the same hospital one day apart so they were in the nursery together. They went to their high school prom “as friends” and, needless to say, they have each navigated numerous twists and turns separately to arrive together at the altar of holy matrimony. Imagine watching decades of images, including their prom picture, as you are hearing the lyrics “When God made you, He must have been thinking about me.”

    Absolute perfection…. I sat barely breathing basking in the benefits of my recent experience of feeling so uncomfortable in that same sanctuary where I had an inner dialog with Jesus about the theology of unworthiness. I heard Jesus saying, “Of course, I am present in original sin theology. How could I not be? I am present wherever anyone is. I meet each person right where that person is.”

    Being present at this wedding is something I will long remember. I understood the truth that humans react to things we don’t like. We are more often than not conditional with our loving. But unconditional love does exist. In Christianity Jesus is often seen as an embodiment of divine love, sacrifice, and redemption, representing a compassionate and nurturing aspect of the divine masculine. Known in Tibetan Buddhism as Chenrezig, Avalokiteshvara embodies compassion and mercy, showing a gentle and nurturing side of the divine masculine. In Native American Cultures often seen as a father figure, the Great Spirit represents creation, wisdom, and guidance, integral aspects of the divine masculine.

    When the man and woman say “I do” to one another they are said to be married. The sacrament of marriage is a sacred covenant we enter into with ourselves first. It is a means of grace that strengthens relationships and helps individuals on the path to holiness. It’s a lifelong commitment, a public witness to God’s love, and a foundation for building a family and community.

    Grateful to say, “I do,” and honored to experience this sacrament deeply.

  • My Cup Runneth Over

    The quote “Rarely do members of the same family grow up under the same roof” by Richard Bach is a common saying that suggests true family bonds are not always defined by blood or persons living under the same roof, according to Goodreads and Tumblr. It emphasizes that family can be found in the connections we form with people who bring us respect and joy, regardless of blood relations. This is not to deny or denigrate blood relations that are also “members of the same family,” but brings to mind a saying on a Little Tramp greeting card I saw well over twenty years ago that love does not subtract or divide, it adds and multiplies.

    This has never been truer in my experience than when I met the significant other of a precious friend for the first time on Wednesday of this week. The instant I saw into his eyes I felt love. We sat at a small round table in the farmhouse kitchen and shared deeply. Two days later my cup still runneth over.

    The phrase comes from Psalm 23. This past Sunday morning a friend of over 50 years gave the message at her church, with that Psalm as the basis for her sharing, “My cup runneth over means my cup — my life — is full to the brim and running over like a cup that was dipped into a bucket of water and full to overflowing. This represents the fullness of God’s blessings in our lives.”

    Over the past couple of months I have been listening to and/or watching individuals I have no prior experience with talk about things I barely comprehend, such as Richard Tarnas in The Second Axial Age saying Carl Jung calculated the birth charts of his patients and wrote to Sigmund Freud about synchronicity existing on a cosmic scale. He described a continual meaningful correlation between the movements of the planets and the archetypal patterns of human experience and said, “The psyche is not within us. We are in the psyche.” It is helpful to realize that astrology was taught at Oxford until the 1600’s.

    Ilia Delio is a Franciscan Sister of Washington, DC, and an American theologian specializing in the area of science and religion, with interests in evolution, physics, and neuroscience and the import of these for theology. In Off the Page | Ep. 4 | Ilia Delio | A Theology of the Future she says the heart is a deep, deep center of personhood that’s opened up to the mystery of God. And that God is unstoppable in that highest good or love, and will go to the ends of the earth, and how not only is God good, but God desires to share that good with all beings. As she was in the process of the video recording of this interview I watched her cat wanted in. She got up and let the cat in and told the interviewer, “That act of love is higher than the act of knowledge alone.”

    Whether you are fluent in astrology or even know what an axial age is, you know what love is. You know love is more than a feeling and love is not something you “do” or something that is “given” or “withheld.” But to say that love is higher than the act of love is likely a profound truth.

    When Burt Bacharach offered Dionne Warwick the song What the World Needs Now initially, she turned it down, saying she found it “too country” and “too preachy.” The song proceeded to become a massive hit for Jackie DeShannon in 1965, and Warwick responded by recording it herself the following year, as well as re-recording it in the 1990s.

      What the world needs now is love, sweet love
      It’s the only thing that there’s just too little of
      What the world needs now is love, sweet love
      No, not just for some, oh, but just for every, everyone

    Tarnas says it this way, “You really have to have an opening of the heart as well as the mind to take in the possibility of an enchanted cosmos…. It’s not just an intellectual conclusion, its something you have to bring your whole being into….”

    My cup runneth over means we value all beings, not just human beings, and see family as not just blood relations.

    Remember just put the spider out and let the cat in❤️

  • Getting Out of My Own Way

    If I had my life to live over again,
    I would ask that not a thing be changed,
    but that my eyes be opened wider.

    ~ Jules Renard,from Gratefulness.org

    It seems otherworldly a month has gone by without a Yellow Brick Road post. I could blame it on being busy, but I am not sure that is truth! This week I have been intentionally spending significant time with a focus on releasing mental constructs and/or habit patterns as an initiation inviting beings to live as a conscious creator of infinite possibility!

    During this time of intentional focus I had a somatic breakthrough — awakening to a cat’s meow! Reading online now some very timely (and interesting) information about the spiritual message of hearing a cat meow:

      Hearing a cat’s cry may signify a need to heighten your spiritual awareness. Cats possess sharp intuition and can sense energies humans often overlook. Their cry could be a gentle nudge, urging you to tune into your surroundings with greater mindfulness. Embrace this chance to cultivate deeper consciousness within yourself.

      In the realm of spirituality, a cat’s cry may symbolize an impending emotional transition or shift within your being. Be open to exploring newfound depths of feelings that could surface. Approach this process with patience, allowing yourself to fully experience and integrate these emotional currents for personal growth.

      Cats are often associated with mystery and the unveiling of hidden truths. When you hear their cry, it could signify that a veil is lifting, revealing insights or wisdom previously concealed from your understanding. Remain receptive, for profound revelations may be on the horizon, guiding you towards enlightenment.

      Cats embody the essence of intuition and trusting one’s instincts. When you hear their cry, it may be a divine message urging you to embrace your innate intuitive wisdom. Learn to quiet the mind and listen to the subtle whispers of your soul, allowing them to steer you towards enlightened choices.

      The cry of a cat could symbolize the importance of independence and personal freedom within your spiritual journey. These creatures value their autonomy, reminding you to honor your individuality and resist conforming to societal expectations that may restrict your authentic expression.


    Wow. This “energy” is exactly what I have been sitting in and with this week. Cats are thought to symbolize the feminine. The following quotation is from Eluña, the channeler who has been leading a group to the Great Pyramid (with some time along the Gaza Strip). The intention being awakening a higher collective consciousness.

    “Really allow the feminine in a non-distorted way to express itself in you. That might mean, allowing yourself to express your creativity in ways that you currently do not or that you used to, much as through writing, through drawing, through singing, painting, creating music…. Of course, spending time with our beloved mother Gaia…. Just tuning in and joining your consciousness with that energy, the energy of the Mother, is going to allow that energy to come through you in a balanced way. Regardless of the relationship that you have had with your own mother, you are going to be able to take on a different energy…. It’s not just the feminine, it’s The Divine Mother.”

    And this week I found a wonderful song titled Shine Through by Goldford.

    Shine Through
    [Verse 1]

    My memory’s fading, are the good days all gone?

    I ask for my maker, she shows up in song

    I see my behavior and where I go wrong

    I guess it’s my nature, my head is too strong

    [Chorus]

    If I can only get out of my own way

    That’s when the light shines on through

    I’ve got nothin’ to lose but the weight

    That made me a mountain to move

    If I can only get out

    Only get out of my own way

    That’s when the light shines through

    As the song says, if we can only get out of our own way the light shines through!
