== Quotes ==  
=== Weekly Meditation ===
* To set free the angel in expression on earth, the outer self must relinquish its right to do whatever it wants, to think whatever it wants, and to feel whatever it wants. That right must be given to the reality of who we are. This seems to restrict the capacities, not in the sense of constricting the flow of life through them, but by requiring that they become fully available now to the One I am.
** Freedom For the One I Am, Weekly Meditation, 2000
* All that I'm about in my life, comes down to this one thing—you and me. And if between you and me we can hold supreme what deserves to be supreme between us, we will create a new world.
** You and Me, Weekly Meditation, 2003 
=== Poetry ===
===== She Came That Morning =====
:There was no hurt so deep,<br>
:no injustice so great,<br>
:that it could not be healed in the cradle of their love.
** The Sunlit Place We Dwell, 2006, p.32
===== Between the Birches =====
:So I beseech you, my friend, come,<br>
:Let us go to that place in the forest where we once together<br> 
:Stood between the birch trees and among the ferns<br> 
:With the sun streaking through the limbs and leaves and the late-summer air.<br> 
:Come with me now to that clearing<br> 
:And let us feel together the sun on our now graying hair;<br> 
:And with that blessing, let us finish what we have yet to do together.
** The Sunlit Place We Dwell, 2006, p.31
===== The Other Side of the World =====
:He thought there might be adventure
:on the other side of the world,
:past the silly stone pillars
:of the cul-de-sac
:and out beyond the well-edged lawns
:that made his mind ache
:and his soul grieve 
:as he drove by.
:
:He dreamed of a wild land
:where his mother was once born
:and beasts still roamed,
:stalking their prey.

===== Kingdom of Fire and Air =====
: Let us build a kingdom of fire and air.<br>

===== The Calling =====
:From the star-lit inner realms of being,<br> 
:I speak of unfolding beauty,<br> 
:Timeless reality,<br> 
:And the opportunity which arrives new born with the morning sun.<br>
:I evoke remembrance<br>
:Of your deepest calling,<br>
:Your truest reality,<br>
:And your cosmic place<br>
:Here and now,<br>
:Holding this cycle of creation.<br>

=== The Pulse of Spirit ===
* What your world, and the people in it, need most from you is for you to be a sun. They need your warmth. Your ability to offer your care for their well-being. Your ability to offer blessing. Nothing imposed. Nothing affected. Just the abiding spirit of love, constant in your heart of hearts.<br>
** Being a Sun, Pulse of Spirit, 2010

* Together, we have this golden, shining moment in time to bring a shift in the outworking human destiny. Despite whatever sense of disillusionment may have been present for you, despite whatever failures you may believe to have been present in your own life or in our collective endeavors, this opportunity is present with us now. Knowing that consciousness is the pivotal factor for humanity and for our beloved Planet Earth, we may bring the highest reality of which we are aware to our world. 
** This Golden Shining Moment, Pulse of Spirit, 2010

* What if, before we were born, you and I lived together in the realms of universal consciousness. What if, from that eternal place of perfect wholeness, we chose to incarnate together so that we could be spiritual pioneers for humanity now. Perhaps part of us never left that place of universal consciousness. Part of us is together there, even now, in perfect love, full agreement and total willingness to do what is ours to do together now. We are now remembering that eternal reality, that heavenly home, in our experience on earth. In that spirit, I speak these words to you: Welcome home. I love you. I serve with you. I remember.     
** The Universal Field of Consciousness, Pulse of Spirit, 2011
* So here is a creative mental attitude that can open us up to the vibration of invisible cause: “I prevail.” Whether the fulfillment of that is today or tomorrow, this year, next year, next decade, next lifetime, I prevail. I prevail in all things. Who I am prevails, and who you are prevails, in all things. And if I accept anything less than that for myself, I am not being true to who I am.
** I Prevail, Pulse of Spirit, 2010
* Honest leadership requires a realistic accounting of what is going on. The realistic accounting says that you can’t keep hating and lying and resenting and expect to live. And there are certainly plenty of those qualities in the public square. There are principles of manifestation for a person, for any body of people, and for the world as a whole. When those principles are harmonized with, there is life. Loving, giving and thankfulness bring life. But for a person who hates, lies and resents, the same principles of manifestation bring death because they are absolute Laws that bring results according to the causative factors in human experience. We live in a just universe.      
** Principles of Manifestation, Pulse of Spirit, 2012
* To embrace the Divine Reality within us, our own heart has to be split open, that we may truly be penetrated by that creative spirit that is our source. We have to be ready and willing to be split open in feeling and in thought, shattering any cheap concepts of spirituality, any playing small, so that we may think the thoughts of what is truly possible, and see what the Eternal has in mind.
** See What the Eternal Has in Mind, Pulse of Spirit, 2012
