Lucky Charms

Lucky charms. Crystals, fetishes, amulets, gris-gris and more held magical appeal for spiritually hungry and mystically captivated believers for thousands of years. The transference of power to an inanimate object always puzzled me. While I fail to understand how anything man-made or even organic or herbal holds power beyond that of a human, I remain curious as to why people choose to relinquish their power to something outside of themselves.

The Gift is in the Knowing

Every day we ask questions of ourselves, of others and of the Spirit, hoping for a response that satisfies our curious hunger . Somehow the growling, grumbling emptiness of “I don’t know” evokes an uneasiness that renders restlessness inert. Yet, when we examine what we truly know for fact, we smile at our humanity. Our peace depends not on finding the answers, or even in the process of seeking. The true gift is in the knowing.
