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.”

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.”

This song was inspired by my brother, Gordon’s, generosity. We grew up at a mining camp where our father was superintendent. We were fairly poor, but didn’t realize it since everyone around us was fishing out of the same boat.

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.

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.

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.”

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.”

Chapter 10
A few chapters back, we discussed the idea that by publicly passing judgment upon others we can freeze our perceptions about them and limit our ability to learn. When our criticisms are displayed before the world and we fight to defend what we have said, this tends to solidify our opinions. We become committed to a stance. We draw a line in the sand for the world to see, and this makes it more difficult for our point of view to flow and change smoothly to see things differently. This problem represents the tip of an interesting iceberg.

“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.
