Sometimes, we get so caught up in the routine, in the everyday norms of our lives, we can miss things.  Things that might very well change our lives.  This episode is about stopping long enough to see.

There are many different narratives or stories we tell ourselves as we make our way through our day to day lives and routines.  This episode looks at the narratives of scarcity and abundance.

We love certainty.  And we often claim it when we actually don’t really know.  What do we do with that in these times of extreme uncertainty?  Dr. Taylor’s meditations on the 13th chapter of the Gospel of Mark is a wonderful place to begin such a response.

It these very strange and troubling times, it seems as though we are all in exile in some strange land.  Singing the Lord’s song during these days has been difficult, to say the least.  But there is a place of sanctuary during these times.  This episode is about that.

New Years is a time people often think about resolutions…things they would like to change or add to their lives in the coming year.  It seems 2021 has been eagerly anticipated by all of us.  This meditation by Dr, Larry Taylor provided me with some rich soil in which to plant some seeds for this coming year.

Advent 2020 has come and gone.  The gifts have been opened.  Christmas meals have been eaten.  Zoom calls to family and friends have all occurred.  And now we begin to move into a new year.  What is your response to Advent? This meditation gave me some new maps to negotiate the time being.

Larry Taylor reminds us that it will be wonder that finally leads us to Christmas.  Wonder is often something we leave to the children.  Maybe it's not that we leave it to them, but that they are the ones who fully embrace it.   One of my very favorite Christmas meditations!  Enjoy!

As the winter solstice approaches, days are shorter and colder, the darkness lingers.  These days are ones that open us to spiritual experiences that might not be really available in the bright summery lights of the rest of the year.  Our third Advent episode on our journey toward home.

Mary's cradle song is one of the most revolutionary announcements our world has known.  And it is a woman's story.  And it resonates deeply in our times.

"Advent is for pilgrims and sojourners.  It holds little attraction for those who are sedentary in their faith, content with where they already dwell.  Advent is a summons to take a journey, a journey that will eventually take us home...Are you going home for Christmas?"   — Dr. Larry Taylor
