Messages

Everything is data. Everything is information that we can use to make connections, to find meaning, to seek answers to the questions of what we should do and how we should do it. All of these messages are heard by the spirit and filtered through our being and our experience.

What is your spirit telling you about the messages you are getting today?

Ashes

“Remember that you are dust, and to dust you shall return.” With these (or similar) words, Christians around the world are blessed with a reminder of our mortality and of the temporary nature of all physical being.

How have you been blessed by a reminder of your impermanence?

Carnaval

In Cadiz, Spain, the weeks of Carnaval, before the beginning of Lent, feature roving groups of wildly-costumed street performers who compete as they irreverently poke fun at the problems of society. In doing so, they address imbalances of power and inspire people to create change.

How are humor and satire part of inspiring you to make a better world?

Leadership

“Our chief want is someone who will inspire us to be what we know we could be.”
-Ralph Waldo Emerson

Leaders inspire people to do better. Leaders imagine how things can be different and encourage people to contribute to that imagination. Leaders inspire us to be what we know we could be.

How have you been a leader? Who are the leaders who have inspired you?

Love

Each of us experiences different kinds of love in different ways. Love, expressed in real and meaningful ways, connects us to other beings and fills our spirits.

Think of an experience of love in your life. How has it connected you to something greater than yourself?
