The Boy and the Sea

Reading Time: 4 minutes

From: The Silent Questions, pages 256-258.
by Doug Marman

A young boy sat on the edge of the wharf, looking out over the gray water. His legs dangled free in the air, kicking back and forth. This was the place where he sat every day to listen to the sounds that the wind carried and to watch the way the waves danced. The sea was his friend, and he came to visit, just as he visited the geese in Mrs. Thatcher’s yard and the seagulls behind Mr. Danver’s Fish Market.

But the sea was different. The sea seemed to change every day, and yet, somehow, was exactly the same. It seemed endless and huge, yet at times you forgot it was even there, and it would startle you when you noticed it again.

Where the Silence Sings (Song)

Reading Time: < 1 minute

By Riley Carson

This song shares the experience of a transition from a vivid dream to a transcendent spiritual journey, where language dissolves and pure being takes over. “Where the Silence Sings” traces one soul’s surrender to the inner pull of divine love, following it past the last border of thought into an expanse of sound-and-light in the realms beyond the mind. 

“BE”

This morning I was sifting through my journal of 2021 when I came across a page I’d written on April 15th of that year.  The title I gave it was “BE.”    

Choice

Reading Time: 4 minutes

Guest Post by Gloria Lionz

Choice. That’s been my focus for a long time. No matter what’s going on in the world, it’s key to being and living my best life. 

For some time now, I’ve made it a practice to turn the news off early. Steady streams from outside sources tend to put me in what I call an urgent yet ‘inflated’ trance of distress. When I ignore that practice, I often forget I am Soul experiencing a sometimes ‘loud’ life in a human body. 

A Time for Renewal

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Guest Post by Nettie Clarke

I recently moved from Flagstaff where Springtime is nice with a few pink flowered trees, and budding out of the Cottonwood trees, to Hood River where it is exploding with color. Trees with a pink tulip looking flower at the end of each branch, white flowering trees on every corner and peach and apple trees beginning to bud with tiny green fingers reaching for the sun.

That’s What Love Is (Song)

Reading Time: < 1 minute

Guest post by Riley Carson

This song is a heartfelt exploration of love in its many forms—tender, enduring, and deeply human. Through poetic imagery and a gentle, reflective tone, it traces the emotional arc of love from whispered beginnings to unwavering bonds.

Learning to Know (& Poem)

Reading Time: 3 minutes

Guest Post by Dennis Ernst

Each of us develops our own strengths. These come from choices and experience, often over long periods of time. I’ve noticed three types of strengths that one can develop into a living and learning style unique to them.

A Happy Ending

From the things I have heard from others during my travels over the past almost 5 years now, I believe what we have all been going through equals the title of the popular bluegrass song, “Hard Times.”

Remembering “One Point from Oblivion”

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Guest Post by Jim Jackson

At our tennis group luncheon last Tuesday, Frank Rees’s name came up because the subject was about being “quick” on the court—both with hands and feet. We talked about his abilities to be 1 foot from the net for a volley, then race back to hit an overhead. And, of course, his service ball toss. But most of all, that he would never quit. 

Then someone in our group mentioned the event I wrote about demonstrating that.  I had called it “One Point From Oblivion.”

Freedom (Poem)

Reading Time: < 1 minute

Guest Post by Alea Kent

These days, many choose to release material things that are taking up space in a house they want to sell or simply want more room. With age can come that knowing that material possessions do not have the same significance they did in our younger years. This has created a whole organizer coaching business as well as all the tools one could ever want and more to help you organize.
