Things I Choose (Story and Poem)

Reading Time: 4 minutes

Guest post by Gloria Lionz

Life has a way of introducing us to people who are looking for a puzzle piece we carry for them. That’s what this poem was for a man I recently met in Mexico. I was there working with a team of medical practitioners at a clinic in a very small town outside Ensenada.

The Drop and the Ocean (Poem)

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Guest Post by Dennis Ernst

I have a friend who is finishing up the last of her adventures in this life and will be leaving us soon. I wrote a poem for her, her caregivers, family, and friends that I would like to share with others. 

While being a deeply spiritual person, she was not the least bit religious about it, and I wanted to hit the right note that everyone could understand and enjoy. Most of this came from my dreams.

The Goats of HU

Reading Time: 2 minutes

By Pichaya Avery

Animals love the song of HU. They are drawn to the celestial music like a magnet. My trips to a farm with Mike have proven this to be true.

When Mike was drinking raw goat milk, we would purchase it from a very kind man named Dennis. His goats loved him. Every time Dennis was out of their sight, they would call for him and scream loudly like children throwing a tantrum. It was painful to hear the crying goats. Mike and I did our best to console them by singing HU.

Mom’s Greatest Gift

Reading Time: 2 minutes

By Michael Avery

My mom was off on medical leave from the supermarket where she worked as a checker. I didn’t know that she had a double mastectomy scheduled, or the incredible challenge she was facing with breast cancer.

Several transistor radios lined a shelf before me in Montgomery Wards. A couple of my friends had been given radios recently, and I asked for one, too. As I recall, the radios ranged in price from five to fifteen dollars. There was a huge difference in quality between them as well as their price. One was amazing. I was attracted to it immediately, but kept testing the less expensive ones because I knew that fifteen dollars was well beyond my mom’s budget.

Never Cut the Bread

Reading Time: 3 minutes

Guest Post by Gloria Lionz

This was written several years ago; tweaked in 2021. It’s a traditional piece I now read aloud most Thanksgivings.

The words came to me while I was in the midst of divorce. Part of that change required me to leave the home I’d owned with that spouse. It was tough to let go of a place I’d loved and shared with many close friends and family for over a decade.

Prajapati and the Secret of Nature

Reading Time: 7 minutes

Guest Post by Doug Marman


From: The Silent Questions, pages 129-131, by Doug Marman

I remember waking up from a vivid dream one sunny day, having dozed off in the afternoon. In the dream I had been reading ancient Indian teachings written upon red rock mountain walls. I couldn’t remember the writings when I awoke, but I was left with a deep feeling that there was meaning inscribed upon the Earth itself. It was like a message imprinted from ages of men and women who had crossed the land. Almost as if the planet itself had absorbed the conscious lessons of the lives of those people and was now trying to give back this wisdom to any who would listen. 

God Speaks: But Do We Recognize It?

Reading Time: 3 minutes

Guest Post by Doreen Chia

A thunderous roar. A great flash of light. A flame that does not burn. A gust of wind. Tiny specks of gold, silver, or blue light. A mystically clear voice. Prophetic dreams. Celestial music. A vision, a revelation, an out-of-body journey, angels appearing out of nowhere. These extraordinary experiences have been written about by poets, storytellers, saints, and seekers of God. Such phenomena come to those who have cultivated an inner ear or eye.

Laughter in Her Veins

Reading Time: 5 minutes

Guest Post by Gloria Lionz

This tale began early 2022 when I started experiencing severe muscle fatigue and joint pain. Several specialists, tests, scans, and TIME later resulted in a single  “generic prognosis:  High inflammation since you’re getting old. Continue exercising and learn to live with the pain.”

Encounter with a Being of Pure Love (Song)

Reading Time: < 1 minute

Guest Post by Riley Carson

This song narrates excerpts from one woman’s journey of personal redemption after experiencing a Near Death Experience. Her story has a profound message of unconditional love available to all, no matter how difficult one may think their life is, or how little value one feels as a human being. This song’s lyrics are excerpts from her near death experience story. Her name is Deborah S. Weiler, and her book is titled “Dead is Just a Four Letter Word“.

If you feel like reading more of her story, here is a link to the website where she tells part of her story.

Crossing Kaiulani

Reading Time: 2 minutes

What I remember most about my time in Hawaii in my late twenties was that first walk from my rented condo to Waikiki beach.
