God's Thoughts

Written by Tayria Ward on January 23, 2011

I have always remembered reading or hearing that when Einstein was asked what he was most curious about, he answered “I want to know God’s thoughts.”

I think about this regularly. I so agree.

God, what are you thinking?

What are you thinking?

What are you thinking!!??


Hymn to Demeter

Written by Tayria Ward on January 21, 2011

The anniversary of the epic tragedy in Haiti has just passed, and Channel 4 news last night showed an update on one of the stories from that time that has stayed with me since then. A woman trapped underground would not be given up upon by her husband, he just

Dancing with Will, the Ritual

Written by Tayria Ward on January 20, 2011

Today is the first Full Moon of 2011. I chose this as a beginning date for a 40-day ritual I have been dreaming up to call in assistances I need with areas of my life and character where I feel weakest, and to offer myself more actively in the work

Liberation and passion

Written by Tayria Ward on January 19, 2011

Home

Written by Tayria Ward on January 14, 2011

Today I finally got to my home after almost a month in refugee status – much of the time away because weather kept me from having free access to my mountain abode. Arriving home has been complicated, not the romantic reunion between self and place of rest that one might

Written by Tayria Ward on January 12, 2011

There is a dark place that I go to at times when the challenges of life begin to feel like they might overwhelm me. I want to try to describe it, as there is often a connotation that goes with ideas of “darkness” or “dark places” that implies something disturbing,
