I’ve been writing this “Inner Heroes” column for 20 years now. In my 80th year, it has become clear to me why this is so important. My life’s purpose is to learn and teach ways to increase our Light. Each of us is here for important reasons. As we identify them, and take time to […]
I imagine that after reading the title, you might predict that this month’s Inner Heroes message is all about how we are ALL important. That is obviously the point of today’s message. You are important. I am important. So are lizards and mosquitos. Let’s start with the dictionary definition of important. Important means: of high […]
We cannot fix every problem in the world,but we can choose how we treat the people around us. —Author unknownThe older I get, the less I know… and the more I know. Go figure. All I know for sure is, it’s true. —Burt Gershater And I truly do want us all to be happy. Being […]
Relax. I know my title, EXTREMELY ORDINARY MIRACLES, is a contradiction in terms, an oxymoron, a paradox, an incongruity. I know what a miracle is. Trust me for a few more minutes. Some common definitions of miracle are: an event caused by a deity that suspends the ordinary course of nature or a highly improbable, […]
Can I do this? Time will tell.Please, bear with me and I truly do mean it this time! My hands are unsteady but I want to share my story. I was born June 8, 1946, in Manhattan, New York. Depending on when you are reading this, it could very well be my birthday. My 80th […]
I’ve been on a love roll… Last month’s Inner Heroes message was entitled “Democracy & Love. ” A few of my earlier titles were: “Love Your Demons,” “Love Wisdoms from Heaven” and “A Few Random Love Stories.” Another one was “How to Make Love,” not the erotic kind, but the day-to-day kind of love. Let’s all […]
I’m nervous. Although my messages almost always focus on love in one way or another, and love can be one of the touchiest topics we can discuss, this message potentially adds an even touchier topic, politics. Politics and Love. You’d be nervous, too. To be completely open, politics is not a topic I know much […]
When they tell you “You can’t go on that path, it is beyond you!” —grab that path as your destiny. ~Likutei Sichot Hero #1 Just recently I met a woman, Julie Lorenzen, at the Larkspur Community Center where I do my morning workouts. The Center has become more of a holy sanctuary to me than […]
In my humble opinion, the majority of people in the world prefer Peace on Earth to the alternative. I’ve asked around, not exactly a scientific survey, and everyone I’ve asked prefers Peace on Earth. What exactly are we preferring when we contemplate this ever-prayed-for dream? Peace on Earth is way more complex and soulful than […]
Yes, that IS a question mark after the headline above. Not a typographical error. So, what’s up with the question mark? Here we go… I like and can live merrily with, Merry Christmas.
