On Death and Dying… and Living Authentically
This article is a fabulous reminder that when we are on our death beds we will regret the dreams we did not pursue and the love we did not share (especially with ourselves!).

Whew! I've been taking a bit of a breather from non-fiction this past week to fly through The Cider House RulesThe Cider House Rules
by John Irving. And then, needing something much fluffier, I read The Wheel of Darkness
The Wheel of Darkness
by Preston and Childs while I was at the cottage this weekend. Great fiction reading, and I was very pleased to make the acquaintance of Agent Pendergast and his super-human know-everything and everyone-ness. He reminded me of Ozymandias from the Watchmen

From Ma Deva Padma, the woman who created the Osho Zen TarotOsho Zen Tarot
, the Tao Oracle
Tao Oracle
is an equally beautiful and powerful oracle deck that I've owned for ages but have only recently begun to work with.
Today's Osho Zen TarotOsho Zen Tarot
spread connects in a wonderful way with the reading I did yesterday on David Smith's new book, Honoring the Sacred Earth
Honoring the Sacred Earth
- at least the left-hand cards do.
I'm reading David Smith's section on Forgiveness in Honoring the Sacred EarthHonoring the Sacred Earth
(I know! I can't believe I haven't finished it yet, but that's another story...) and something about this prayer really got to me: "Almighty God who created everything grant us your forgiveness for the wrongs we have done in our lives and help us to forgive those who have done wrong to us..."
"Study nature, love nature, stay close to nature. It will never fail you." - Frank Lloyd Wright
With these words, Smith takes us into Part 1 of 7 in his book, Honoring the Sacred EarthHonoring the Sacred Earth
Today, I've restarted David Smith's new book, Honoring the Sacred EarthHonoring the Sacred Earth
. I actually began to read it last week but got majorly busy after only a few pages, so I thought I needed to start it again, to make sure I was getting it right. His book (at least the back cover) promises to 'show us what is needed in our times' to rectify the separation that so many of us experience from the natural world in both our daily lives and our spiritual practices. I was very excited to read this book as it seems to tie in very closely with my own mission to create a world of Sacred Physicality.
I confess, I am enjoying the heck out of Raymond Aaron's Double Your Income Doing What You LoveDouble Your Income Doing What You Love
. What, specifically, has caught my fancy? Aaron's no-nonsense approach to success, goal-setting, and getting on track for one; his confidence in his methods for another; and the feeling of hope and excitement that his writing gives me.
I've now finished Kryon's section of the book, as well, as Mary Magdalen's, and am now almost done the communication by the Hathors. I'm getting the feeling that this is kind of an Intro to the work of these beings, since the Hathors are the only ones I am familiar with to any extent I can only go by their section, but it seems to be an overview of their main themes, not groundbreaking new work.
