Apollo and Daphne 2.0
Dear Friends, Wow, it’s been almost a month since my last post! Spring has burst here in St. Augustine meanwhile, and my garden beckons me as much as my writing and art-making. Meanwhile, in the Middle East things have gone from hot to boiling, to wondering if everything will work out for the best, in…
Read MoreAs Above So Below
Hi Friends, This morning I awoke with the words “As Above So Below” clearly spoken, calmly reminding me, gently gushing from my mind. Naturally I pondered them, because whenever I “hear” a message I take it to heart, and contemplate what it could possibly mean. It wasn’t obvious, at first. But then my thoughts turned…
Read MoreSometimes you just have to make a STAND
After the events last week in Tucson, Arizona, I simply have to say something. Usually I try not to bring politics into what i share here, on Lordflea Sings. Usually, I put the focus on us leading spiritual lives, not political ones. But enough is enough! I simply must say something, because when the sentiments…
Read MoreWhat to do when it’s HARD to keep going?
Welcoming in a new year is always fun. Lots of parties, lots of good cheer.BUT…when they’re all done–what next? We all have dreams, goals, resolutions–whatever we call them.

Read Morethe wonder of wonderment
Friends, Have you ever asked yourself why, and how, and when it might come in handy to wonder? To just tell yourself, “I don’t know.”? In other words … to allow yourself to be flexible enough to not have all the answers. This is an interesting point-of-view, one that I’ve been thinking a lot about…
Read MoreOur Great Good Fortune
Dear Friends, For the last few nights i’ve been writing a post in my head as i’m falling asleep, because I haven’t been able to visit you for a little while, yet there is so very much to share. So much has happened since my last touch here: where to begin where to begin? I’ll…
Read MoreAung San Suu Kyi FREED!!
Today a miracle was announced to the world: The biggest hero(ine) in my life, as she is in Obama’s and so many other admirerers, is Daw Aung San Suu Kyi who has been released from house arrest, at last! This noble woman has suffered so much in the name of democracy, an ideal she knows…
Read MoreFood For Thought
It’s the truth, that everything we do can have a purpose, a meaning. A Higher Significance. Whether we’re talking about simple things like how we dress, how we speak–or, how we eat. Today I want to briefly touch on what I call “household yoga,” a term I use to describe the care and intention with…
Read MoreIn Spirit: New Ideas a-Tremblin’ in the Wind
Dear Friends, I was inspired to download on my iPhone a drawing app after seeing last week’s New Yorker cover by David Hockney, who does a drawing on his iPad or iPhone everyday. I’d never even thought of that! Wow, so rush rush to the app store, find a freebie, and voila! Here’s the first…
