MY FATHER IS THE GARDENER: When it comes to prayer the children of God know there are dozens of ways to cultivate their prayer garden. It is their privilege to nurture whatever perennials and annuals they wish in the landscape of their tradition and always to God’s delight.

MORNING PRAYER Heavenly Father I come before you this morning with a heart open to hear your voice. I know you speak in many ways, sometimes in the stillness of my soul, sometimes through the words of others, and sometimes through the events of the day. Help me to be attentive.

LEARNING TO SURF LIFE'S WAVES: suffering has many good qualities. Through experiencing it, we can dispel pride, develop compassion for those feeling trapped. Abandon non-virtue, and delight in virtue.

Blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in him. They will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream. It does not fear when heat comes; its leaves are always green It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails Jer17

and never fails Jer17

NIGHT PRAYER: You were in me, Christ, you were always there and I was not seeking you. When I had found you, so often I forgot you but you continued to love me. From the depths of my being, a fire was rising to take hold of me. You the Christ, are the only way, I have no other.

THE ALCHEMY OF LOVE - THE MYSTERY OF CHRIST You come to us from another world From beyond the stars and a void of space Transcendent pure of unimaginable beauty. You light the fire of Love in earth & sky, In heart & soul of every being. All that is profane becomes sacred again.

The word ‘non-duality’ comes from the Sanskrit word Advaita which means ‘not two.’ Therefore, put simply, non-duality points to the basic Unity of everything – that ultimately, there is no division or separation between you or anything else in your experience.

LIFE ENERGY is the common source between human beings and nature—the loss of it parallels the loss of connection between human beings and their relations: the plants, animals, stones, water, sky and the Earth, then realizing that "the Kingdom of Heaven is in our midst!”
