Those of us who walk the spiritual path do it because we want to live with relative peace and calm. We want to be reasonably helpful to others. When our shortcomings stand in the way of our serenity and usefulness, we are off the path, causing us discomfort, irritability, and sometimes outright pain.

Worry is Negative Prayer
Worrying about the future doesn’t change the future. It simply wrecks the present.
Healing our Angst
Last March, some of us thought that this would all be over by Easter. Then when it wasn’t, we thought, “Maybe by the summer.” The lush summer came and went; everything turned red, gold, and brown; it got cold. “Maybe by the new year.” Each expectation leads to another disappointment. The disappointments feed our angst like a greedy child devouring cookies.
Alignment
When my thoughts, actions, and emotions are all in alignment, then the doing becomes effortless.
Fear is NOT a Virtue

I Don’t Wanna
Humans are resilient creatures. We adapt – on the outside. What’s happening to us on the inside?
Where is Hope?
We should all be wearing psychic masks to avoid spewing our discomfort, pain and fear on others. Blaming other people or institutions (like the government) isn’t going to work.
