A Dream Part II

prairie

There standing between the prairie and the forest The storm violently cracks together the branches overhead Creating darker recesses from within Prairie grass is speckled with abundant small flowers...Orange ~ Purple ~ White The month can be called by the carpet color mingled in the grass ~ It is purple ~ August. Tall reeds of bluestem bent against breezes of the failing sun As a step is taken into the waist-high grasses Your shadow dances along with the movement of the wind The field … [Read more...]

Are You Unaware Also?

ghost

We have seen the headlines all too often. Shooting spree results in multiple deaths, officials looking for answers. I can tell you right now, the officials have not the slightest idea of what to look for, generally. What exactly am I talking about? As people of this Earth, everyone is basically from the State of Missouri, the Show Me state. People have a desire to understand what they do not understand. But they have a desire to believe it within the context of what they can see and … [Read more...]

Wisdom Beyond the Veil

Beyond the veil that separates the earth from the heavens exists a hierarchy of Divine Beings who are waiting.

We are those souls and they are the wisdom beyond the veil that is waiting to guide … [Read more...]

deborahlynn

It was summer, a couple of years ago, when I first heard her story. I listened for hours to the heartbreak and the sadness, of a drug-using, alcoholic father who taught his own children to steal from department stores. The mother whose strictness drove her daughter to tune out in front of the television set, mindlessly eating to feel good about herself. And then, many hours later, I learned about the transformational joy and bliss that has risen like a phoenix out of a highly dysfunctional … [Read more...]

Improving Your Brain Fitness…with technology | Part 1

brain1

An Edge interview with Paulette Hastings of Neuro Strength The idea was intriguing -- balancing your brain to the way it was intended to operate. I envisioned a bank of computers where clients rearranged rectangular blocks on the screen or memorized lists from quickly flashing images or tried to remember where letters were hidden out of sight. I thought it was about exercising the brain to make it work better -- but I was wrong. After noted Twin Cities psychic Echo Bodine told me about how … [Read more...]

natural-foods

In this age of global food production, it's easy to get nearly any food, during any season, in any part of this country. Strawberries in February, kumquats in March and bananas every day are the norm now -- but this wasn't always the case. It wasn't so long ago that an orange was a luxury and sugar was cherished. This modern expansion of our food supply certainly has its benefits. Many of us wouldn't know what to do without our daily coffee or chocolate. But with these benefits come … [Read more...]
