What About Anger?
By
Melanie Lutz
Dishonesty dishonors. Personal integrity matters. I am angry I will not deny it. I am angry. The men calling out ‘bitches, deserve this.” I am angry. The lack of representation. I am angry. The years of continuing hypocrisy. The hijacking of democracy. The ways that met the means and the means were ugly. I am…

As you know we are often writing prayers of comfort to those in need and in the 17 years since the events of 9/11 we have cried tears of loss. Today, when I saw this poem, The Dead of September 11, by Toni Morrison a new way of being on this day emerged. It is a day…

Allow me to be used for kindness Allow all my defenses to be lifted Open me up and break me open In ways beyond my understanding Into the faith of the moment And a vision that is righteous In the deepest reaches of my being with infinite love and gratitude
Grace as Experience and Expression of the Soul
By
Melanie Lutz
Martin Luther King Jr. often said “there is a power in our hearts more powerful than the power of bullets” … and today in the land of the free and the home of the brave it‘s never been more important to remember. It is time to help each other transcend our limiting beliefs and head into the field of pure possibility. As always, I hope your soul’s expression breaks through utilizing whatever language is necessary for a full rich radiant vibrance that fills your being. Listening to what speaks to you and around you. As these individual notes join together feel the stirrings of our collective heart become a radiating social force bringing each of our inner struggles and personal journeys into the larger unfolding experience, giving context and allowing nature to enact its most beautiful elegant outflow beyond the gravity of our day to day. Delivering exactly what is necessary for the fullest experience in each moment. “All the natural movements of the soul are controlled by laws analogous to those of physical gravity. Grace is the only exception. Grace fills empty spaces, but it can…

The other night I took a journey incorporating the Celtic Oran Mor “The Great Melody” unceasingly playing since the creation of the multiverses revealing many insights to the other realms. This song of the universe…
