Practice any art, music, singing, dancing, acting, drawing, painting, sculpting, poetry, fiction, essays, reportage—no matter how well or badly—not to get money and fame, but to experience becoming, to find out what’s inside you, to make your soul grow. Seriously! I mean starting right now, do art and do it for the rest of yourContinueContinue reading “The Art of Becoming: A Reflection on Kurt Vonnegut’s Words”

When Two Worlds Collide: A Reflection on Soul Connection, Chaos, and Divine Timing
There are moments when the universe speaks directly to you—through a song, a conversation, or even a message stumbled upon at what can only be described as divine timing. Recently, I came across a post titled “When Two Worlds Collide” that stopped me in my tracks. Its words struck a chord so deep it feltContinueContinue reading “When Two Worlds Collide: A Reflection on Soul Connection, Chaos, and Divine Timing”
Actions and Consequences: A Universal Truth Across Belief Systems
I recently found myself facing the difficult realization that I needed to release someone—for the highest good of both of us. It’s never easy when God calls us to turn away from someone we care about deeply, especially when every part of us wants to hold on. But sometimes, no matter how much we careContinueContinue reading “Actions and Consequences: A Universal Truth Across Belief Systems”
Sunday Sessions: Living, Rather Than Looking, Forward
Life has an odd way of convincing us that fulfillment lies somewhere in the future—a destination waiting to be reached, a chapter still to be written. We spend so much time looking forward to what’s next: the next milestone, the next goal, the next version of ourselves that feels more healed, accomplished, or whole. It’sContinueContinue reading “Sunday Sessions: Living, Rather Than Looking, Forward”
The Beauty of Impermanence: A Spiritual Reflection
We had a freeze last night. This morning, I sat with the sunrise and watched as tiny, beautiful, seemingly glass spheres of frost clung to the trellis in our garden. As the sun rose higher, they gave way to their natural properties, melting and beginning to drip. Each droplet caught the morning light, sparkling forContinueContinue reading “The Beauty of Impermanence: A Spiritual Reflection”
Rejecting Foolishness in Faith: Why I Left the Church to Seek Wisdom
“They want me to be a fool.” That’s the thought that echoed through my mind as I sat in the pews of the church where I’d grown up. Week after week, I was told to trust without question, to believe without thinking, to obey without discernment. Blind faith, they called it. But I couldn’t ignoreContinueContinue reading “Rejecting Foolishness in Faith: Why I Left the Church to Seek Wisdom”
The Paradox of Solitude
Busyness is not fulfillment, and solitude is not loneliness. We live in a world that celebrates productivity and connectivity, a world that has reversed these truths. Society at large confuses constant activity with purpose and equates being alone with deprivation. This misunderstanding, I believe, lies at the root of much of humanity’s discontent. Yet, theContinueContinue reading “The Paradox of Solitude”
Natalie Trayling: The Soulful Symphony of Living for Purpose
Recently, while planning posts for the Twin Tree Project, we clicked play on one of YouTube’s “recommended for you” music playlists. A few songs in, a particular piece of music captured our attention. The playlist played softly in the background, but as this piece built in intensity, it felt as though the loving energy ofContinueContinue reading “Natalie Trayling: The Soulful Symphony of Living for Purpose”
December Energies and the Shift into a New Cycle
As we step into December, the energies are charged with a sense of transition. There’s an unmistakable momentum—a feeling that something significant is both closing and beginning simultaneously. Both would be correct, and for many, this can feel like walking in two worlds at once: the remnants of old cycles linger, while the new vibratesContinueContinue reading “December Energies and the Shift into a New Cycle”
