		<title>Flowing Grace</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Every path in Nature is a winding path.
&#8220;Only man-made ideas are forced, pushed, pressed into the &#8216;right&#8217; way to do things. Nature finds her undeniable certainty expressing in whatever way is appropriate in the moment &#8212; without prediction, without rigidity, and most importantly with curving, flowing Grace.  Next time you walk in the woods, notice [...]]]></description>

		<title>Embracing Pain</title>
		<description><![CDATA[

Pain.  There&#8217;s quite a lot of it in the world right now, so it seems rather trite of me to write about a toothache.  Yet that is what has been grabbing my attention this past week: throbbing, stabbing, intense&#8230;and now a raw-skinned reminder of the tooth that is no longer there.  How can one little [...]]]></description>

		<title>Happy Now Moment</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ 
A few journal wanderings because my BLOG is feeling lonely&#8230;

I greeted 2011 in a state of grace, ringing in the new within the sacred space I know as my HeartGate home.  Today, I turn to my calendar and am astonished to see that it&#8217;s February already. What happened to the Promise I made myself [...]]]></description>

		<title>A World that Works for Everyone</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Think of one thing that breaks your heart open, and act upon that.
This is the way we will change the world: one loving act at a time.

I just had the opportunity to spend 3 days with child right&#8217;s advocate, Kimmie Weeks.  I&#8217;d like to share my gratitude for the blessing this simple man brings to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Peace be within you</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s International Peace Day today, and I&#8217;m celebrating the inner peace that has come from a summer sabbatical.  I thought I&#8217;d be writing during this time &#8216;off&#8217; but the words simply didn&#8217;t wish to flow.  My writing has felt rather like a dry river these past few months as I&#8217;ve been simplifying my inner &#38; [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#8230;first return to Bare Ground

June 6, 2010.  A few weeks ago, this bare patch of ground was filled with weeds up to my thighs.  Today we&#8217;re preparing to plant some seeds.  Tomorrow we&#8217;ll water, and with a little bit of conscious gardening over the next few months will harvest an abundance of nourishing food from [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;To find our calling is to find the intersection between our own Deep Gladness and the world&#8217;s Deep Hunger.&#8221; &#8211;Fredrick Buechner
I recently attended a &#8220;Fierce Light&#8221; workshop where we were invited to share our boldest visions of how we&#8217;d like to serve the world.  I shared two recurring dreams I&#8217;ve had over the past [...]]]></description>
