Letting Go of the Cage Surrender as the Path to Awakening

Free from the Cage: Surrender as the Path to Awakening

There is a story from the great Persian poet Rumi about a caged parrot, gifted with a beautiful voice but held captive by her circumstances. When her merchant owner journeyed to India, she asked him to tell the wild parrots of her longing — of her separation and sorrow, her desire to return to freedom.
Reach Out and Touch the Hearts Around You

Reach Out and Touch the Hearts Around You

This is a heartbreaking time. The news from Gaza and Darfur, from the Rohingya and Haiti, is heartbreaking. And still, you can do something. Reach out and touch the hearts around you. Send money. Write petitions and send them to politicians. Support the brave friends doing the work to feed the hungry on the ground. Add your voice to love.
Living from the Fullness of Our Being

[Video] Living from the Fullness of Our Being

In this heartfelt reflection, I invite you to remember who you truly are—not as some distant ideal, but as the sacred, simple, authentic presence already here within you. Through stories, teachings, and poetry, we explore what it means to shift from fear and striving into the fearless compassion of the heart.
