Life

I returned home from Louisiana yesterday after spending about 10 days with my dad helping him with some medical issues. This is the first time I had to face directly his aging process and it has created a deep sorrow in my heart. I have had my issues with my dad as anyone has with a parent, but somehow they all seem very small as I face the prospect of his continued deterioration and eventual death. It causes me to face my own mortality as well and to image what life will be like without my parents. I am grateful to have a spiritual foundation through which to see this facet of life. I grieve from the human perspective and at the same time, I give thanks for the presence of Spirit and life. I feel deep humility, sadness, love, tenderness and grief all at the same time. This is what it means to be a spiritual being having a human experience.

Unity world wide

I am currently in Louisiana taking care of some medical issues for my dad and was able to go to Unity of Baton Rouge this morning. It is wonderful to be able to walk into a Unity church in other parts of the country and hear this incredible message and get my spirit fed. There are groups of people just like ours all over the world working together to create places where people grow spiritually in order to assist with the world's awakening. I miss my church when I am not there and at the same time am grateful for the incredible group of people that are there sharing themselves and creating a sacred experience for everyone.
