Mark West recently wrote in an email how he’d been cautioned to use more discrimination when expressing his frustration with a person at work. “Sometimes it’s best to just keep silent and contemplate upon the reflection we’re receiving from the world around us,” Mark noted. A waking dream suggested a better approach for him to take the next time he found himself frustrated by the actions of a co-worker.

A few days ago, when Oi and I began our daily walk along a path that meanders alongside a stream and some natural ponds, we came upon a disturbing scene: a motionless squirrel lying in some grass. His eyes were open, so I concluded that he had left his body through the doors of death.
But then Oi looked closer and saw that its stomach was moving in and out, faintly, but rapidly.

The Inner Teacher always leads me to the right place at the right time to meet the right people in order to become a greater instrument of divine love. The key is to pay close attention to the inner guidance moment by moment, even when it seems incomprehensible and illogical to the analytical mind. When I follow a subtle nudge, the Inner Teacher can touch someone’s heart profoundly, through me, in many amazing ways.
It was around Christmas time, and the grocery store was fully packed with impatient shoppers. One of those customers who felt irritated with the long lines at the checkout stands happened to be me. While silently complaining, I received a specific message from the Inner Teacher, “Go to lane six.”

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.

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.”

“Be the one who chooses love above all else.”
A short while after writing that line in the song, “Be the One,” I received word that a teammate from Linfield with whom I had played baseball was in hospice.

One of my favorite spiritual exercises is called “The Open Heart.”1 It involves loving or caring for someone or something more than we do ourselves. I practice this daily and have experienced a variety of profound results.
I love cooking and baking for family, friends, and neighbors. On one particularly crisp winter morning, I was given an opportunity to express my love to a stranger. As I was preparing to leave home to facilitate a Satsang class, I was guided to do something I would not normally do. In addition to the homemade chocolate chips cookies that I brought every month, I included a bunch of bananas and a $20 bill.

These tiny red enamel and crystal beads (pictured above) have been separated by time and space for at least four months. Today, while returning jewelry stored in my safe (stashed there while my home went through another phase of cleansing), one of the missing beads appeared in a different box.
This is not a case of misplacement. In my heart and mind, it is truly a return from spirit. Why do I think this?

The Universe has countless ways of teaching us about love, often through the most unexpected encounters. On the first day of 2025, as the world welcomed a new beginning, I received such a wonderful lesson at our favorite park, where a serene pond usually hosts a community of graceful ducks and a solitary great blue heron.
