Namaste. It is 5:31 a.m. I know…Saturday morning, and I’m writing earlier than I usually do on a weekday. Holland has a gymnastics competition in Laurel this morning; timed warm-ups begin at 8, so we’ll be on the road by 6:20 a.m. Well, I wouldn’t exactly call yesterday a pivotal day, but I do think…

Good morning. It is 5:48 a.m. Last night, I mentioned how glorious Day 16 had been. I wanted to expand a little on that this morning. We had our Lines of Love meeting at Carroll Community College with a room filled with kind and supportive individuals who are excited about raising awareness about mental illness…

Namaste. It is 10:18 p.m. What a glorious day. I spent the afternoon with an incredible group of individuals at Carroll Community College (CCC). Lines of Love will be working closely with Psi Beta, which is a National Honor Society in Psychology for junior and community colleges, for our April 13th event at CCC. More…

Namaste…it is 5:29 a.m. I turn 45 today. In so many ways, though, I feel much younger. I remember my mother telling me that age means nothing; it’s all about your attitude toward life and what you make of it. After my father passed away in 1989, she impressed on me the need to seize…

Namaste on this latest of afternoons, 6:12 p.m. Outside, the temperature hovers just above freezing as the rain continues to fall (Healing rain falling down….I’m not afraid). Perhaps, at some point tonight, the temperatures will fall enough to turn the rain into snow, and we will be granted a soft finale to this very white…

Greetings…it is 10:08 p.m…….and I am very tired. I will allow the wonderful words of 1 Corinthians 13 to take my place tonight, one of my Bible favorites with so much meaning in my life. My love to all of you… 1 Corinthians 13 Love 1If I speak in the tongues of men and of…

(copyright 2010, Rus VanWestervelt, taken in Finksburg, MD, 2009) Good evening. It is 7:41 p.m. This photo that I took last summer of a young grasshopper in apparent meditation brings me some much-needed wisdom this weekend. Opportunities this weekend to practice Zazen, which means sitting meditation, have been few and far between. I don’t blame…

Good evening…It is 9:09 p.m. Much to share about this day. But first, I must take a moment and remember Emily. Emily Davis was a student at my school, who was diagnosed with Ewings Sarcoma in February 2002. In the two years that she battled her cancer, she remained selfless and optimistic, immersed in her…

Namaste. It is 5:16 a.m. High winds and blowing snow (we got a couple of inches last night) are delaying schools around the area; my school system, Howard, remains open. I don’t expect us to have a delayed opening. The storm intensifies as you head north, and Howard County is west and a little south…

Good morning. It is 6:01 a.m. Little time to write this morning (here, at least), as I have been pondering my latest move after having my car nearly towed in Towson last night. Blessings come in many different ways, and I am grateful for the way things turned out. Still, I’m understanding now, firsthand, why…
