It has been 3 1/2 years since I posted here. Those years were spent figuring out health problems, better treatments and not-so-great treatments. That’s on the outside. Inside, it has been a time of falling more deeply in love with the Divine One. Much of this is beyond words, or at least beyond words that I know! Some of the time I was on a medication that impaired my personality in ways that caused my loved one’s much pain. And thus I learned a level of humility and the knowledge that one’s personality and it’s imperfections do not have anything to do with the experience of God’s love within. This is very good news, indeed!

Did you know that it is possible to be deeply and entirely at peace in the core of your being regardless of what is going on in your life? And furthermore, that perfecting one’s self is not at all what God asks of us? This was good news to me and I hope by sharing little lessons or stories as often as I am able that you will find these truths to be self-evident for you as well. My first entry will be in honor of my Dad, Richard Gathman, who died in May of last year. I miss him terribly but all my memories of him make me smile. I hope those memories will make you smile as well. It is good to be back and my Dad would say: “It’s about time!”
