I have been excitedly waiting 3 months for this day and it finally arrived! It was November 5, 2018, and I was in the bustling Miami airport, at the gate, about to board a fully booked flight to exotic Havana, Cuba, to visit for 30 days. The majority of passengers were beautiful Latino people of all skin tones, colorfully attired, kids in tow and speaking crazy fast Cuban Spanish.

Sharon Sheppard’s husband, Pat, takes their Siberian Husky for walks every morning and late afternoon either to a wooded area or along the rolling sand dunes and sparsely populated beaches near their home on the Oregon coast. Pat enjoys contemplating and singing HU, an ancient love song to God, as Sitka runs through the woods or along the beach. One day, their normal routine was interrupted when Pat spied a murre bird lying motionless at the tideline.

The life force from God is all around us. It surrounds us in every moment and every place. We miss some of them. But from some of these gifts we gain small nudges to go left or right or do this or that. Others will be full of wonder, a treasure trove of consciousness expansion.
The following two stories highlight a few gifts I have received. Their central lesson for me is that God’s love comes from all of life, that we are connected, Soul to Soul, and that we share a relationship with Divine Spirit in many ways.

“No matter what you do in life, if you can just love what you’re doing
and see the gift of God in little things, you’ll be happy.”
—Harold Klemp, What is Spiritual Freedom?
I am learning in this precious lifetime that every little mundane experience we have is really a profound moment in eternity that lights up with God’s Love for us when we allow ourselves to see with the eyes of Soul. We need to have a childlike curiosity and pay attention to all the little details in each moment, because things are not always as they appear to be when we first notice them.
I will share with you a few moments in my life when God’s love came to me in the form of small, golden, heart shaped “packages” to discover and unwrap so that the Light and Sound could fill my world at a greater level. Sometimes my Inner Teacher had to give me a strong nudge to be alert.

There are probably more people (digital natives) living on the planet now who can’t imagine life without mobile devices than there are people who remember life before they ever existed. There’s no question that these devices have changed the way we approach life and communicate with others, often simplifying and improving the process.
Yet we’ve all experienced opposite reactions as well, and the frustrations that can accompany the complications and setbacks they can inflict. Rather than being born with a silver spoon in the mouth—an old expression that many digital natives will not know, and which only pertained to a minority of people—it seems that nearly all babies these days are born with mobile devices in their hands. Yet there are advantages to taking a break from devices.

Sometimes a simple statement or phrase in conversation can start a whole big “thang.” Working on my calendar for next month, I realize February has 29 days. That means it’s leap year.
Also, February 29th is ‘’Sadie Hawkins Day.” I haven’t done anything really funny/silly for no reason for some time, so when a creative thought came to mind, I shared with my girls, an idea about doing something just for fun.

The Dream:
I’m at a Ukrainian hospital, what’s left of it, as two rockets hit very close by just hours before. I’m here as my true self—Soul, with no physical body to encumber me. I believe I’m here as a vehicle for Divine Spirit.

I asked Jodi, a new friend, to take Apollo to the cat sitter’s office the morning I left for an Eckankar seminar in Minnesota recently. She was nervous about the task but sincerely wanted to help. My flight left earlier than they open. And he prefers spending more time here than there anytime.
So, Jodi agreed to load Apollo into his carrier mid-morning & take him to “Tiny’s.” Easy peasy except for one thing: She’s brand new to cats.

I believe accidents and resulting injury are a way we are led through necessary change by Spirit in this physical world, often moving us forward spiritually, teaching us something we didn’t know about ourselves. Otherwise, we would not need the message(s) and lesson(s) contained in the “accident” experience.

My wife, Pichaya, and I have learned that Divine Spirit, Spirit, God, or “the Universe,” call IT what you will, won’t interfere in our lives unless we ask. When faced with an important decision or a personal crisis, we can ask for guidance through dreams, contemplations, visions, or waking dreams. Most people, however, forget to ask.
It is important that we do all we can to help ourselves in addition to asking the Divine. A number of spiritual exercises are available that can help us navigate “dark nights of the Soul” or other crises. Many can be found in a book called The Spiritual Exercises of ECK, by Harold Klemp.
One additional spiritual exercise that I have found helpful in stressful situations is simple, and yet powerful. It’s called “A Circle of Friends.”
