When the mind is festering with trouble or the heart torn, we can find healing among the silence of mountains or fields, or listen to the simple, steadying rhythm of waves.

Each gift is different; there is no plan or … Continue reading

He once made the (to some people) provocative statement that the word YES was the most powerful word in human language. A rather amazing instant healing I once had did a lot to convince me of the truth of his statement. I had moved from a spectacularly … Continue reading

MIRACLES. 1 WHAT shall I give? and which are my miracles? 2 Realism is mine—my miracles—Take freely, Take without end—I offer them to you wherever your feet can carry you, or your eyes reach. 3 Why! who makes much of a miracle? As to me, I know of nothing else but miracles, Whether I walk the streets of Manhattan, Or dart my sight over the roofs of houses toward the sky, Or wade with naked feet along the beach, just in the edge of the water, Or stand under trees in the … Continue reading
