Contrary to what many people believe, courage is not an absence or denial of fear. Rather, it’s a willingness to accept and embrace the many trials and uncertainties of Life. With courage at our backs, we begin to see our on-going journey on this planet as an exciting, challenging, and stimulating adventure where anything is possible. True, it takes time and practice to build-up our courage . . . but a little bit each day adds up.

As we expand our consciousness, we learn how to say ‘Yes’ to Life. Over time and with patience, we begin to understand that every single thing - whether labeled good or bad - carries equal value and importance as we walk our unique paths. Each person, encounter, or event therefore becomes - when seen through the eyes of curiosity, openness, and acceptance - a teaching designed to help us awaken.

Spiritual truths often arrive wearing unexpected disguises. It’s wrong to assume that the only way to get ‘there’ is by sitting in deep meditation on a mountaintop. True, that method might work for you, but there are limitless ways to arrive at some of the deeper understandings about the nature of Life that don’t require walking traditional routes. Take painting for example . . .
Each one of our precious, unique Lives are essentially works in progress . . . collectively composed of little 'chips' here and there applied over long stretches of time. And ever-so-slowly with great patience and a continuously evolving sense of inner understanding, forms take shape, things and ideas gradually make more sense . . . destinies become more clearly defined.
