The Lost Boys: Seeing Our Own Solitary Reflection.

We play imaginary games of hard-to-get, not realizing that when no one else is aware that any such thing is happening, it becomes not so much a game as a fantasy with which we've entangled our minds.

Spinning Wheels: Ending the Cycle of Political Dehumanization.

As we Catholics engage in the Lenten season of penitence, cleansing, and reflection, I want to also cry out in the wilderness. It is time to resist. And when I say resist, I mean resist the darkness, the dehumanizing urges that steal away our proper sight. I mean, resist the subtle seething of ...

What If Positivity, Light & Love Don’t Cut It?

Could you truly state -- in all your authenticity, standing there in your truth, firm in your own power and with your hand upon your beautiful heart -- that positivity, love and light are enough?

The Mythopoetics of Sacrifice and Transformation: Breaking Free, Jungian Style.

We do this sort of heavy-lifting, soul-level excavating, deep-diving inner work to consciously disassemble, sever, re-member, and over time, integrate long-lost but reclaimed pieces of who we are -- to fully ensoul our self/Self.

Redemption: Of Course It’s Hard… All Worthwhile Journeys Are.

He is not interested in your redemption. They can do that, you know? Move on. Just like that. And it seems so wrong and unfair and it hurts. And no matter how many times you call him, no matter how many times you lay your heart at his feet and open your arms and show him your truest, most ...
