Come Out, Come Out, Wherever You Are!
Opportunities for growth arise out of every breath when we are open to them. Often they arise most clearly when we step into the stillness. For me, this place of stillness was a sparsely furnished one-bedroom flat in Penetanguishene, Ontario, across the road from the spirit-filled waters of Lake Huron's Georgian Bay. It was there, in 1997, that the unexpected journalings that would ultimately coalesce into Dialogues with the Divine began to take shape. The winter of that unintended retreat and the writings that emerged from it would turn out to be profoundly transformational, inspiring me to push through and past many of the deeply rooted fears that we all share, among them the fear of my own light and power. When I left Penetang seven months later, I found myself launched on a roller coaster of an adventure that I could never have planned or predicted...an adventure that would not have been possible without these "Dialogues."
Book Excerpt
Dialogues with the Divine
There is no safety outside yourself. Your only safety is within. Your only safety is your truth. It will set you free, if you let it, if you surrender to it. Be afraid, if fear you must. But don’t let fear stop you — from speaking, from writing, from communicating, from being. If you do, you might as well stop breathing.
You have done so much, come so far. Don’t squander all you have achieved by stopping now. Don’t give up on yourself. Don’t give up on the world. Don’t give up on the light. That light is your courage. Reach down, deep down, to tap into it. See how it sparkles when you touch it. So, too, will you sparkle when you come out of hiding and share the light of your courage and the courage of your truth with the world. The world needs it. The world needs you. The time is right. The place is right. So shine your light into the fear, and let that light carry you through your fear, to the other side of fear.
