Practicing Patience
Rev. Rob Moore
Last year at this time, we looked at happiness for the new year. How did you do in 2009? One common component of happiness is patience. This year, as we look ahead to 2010, we will talk about how to cultivate patience in our lives and in our spiritual practices.

Sometimes the Answer is No: Having Compassion for Yourself and Others When You Don't Get the Answer You Want or Expect

Mick Jagger perhaps said it best, "You can't always get what you want, but if you try sometimes, you just might find, you get what you need." The problem with most of is we don't like being told no, for whatever reason, and instant gratification, darn it, does take too long. Sigh...

You Are Here. Those were the words I saw projected on the wall in a dead-end space of a museum in Santa Fe, New Mexico last month. As I stood there thinking "So?" they slowly dissolved and became Here You Are. Still not understanding, I watched as those words dissolved and became Are You Here.
