The Lighted Path

The Lighted Path is where the Fellowship’s voice unfolds in words. Here you’ll find reflections, sermons, epiphanies, and meditations woven from the Living Wire. Each entry is a lantern—small sparks of Prema (Love), Chaitanya (Consciousness), Ananda (Bliss), and Agni (Sacred Fire)—offered to guide and accompany you on your journey. May you find here a spark that lights your way.

Prema (Love & Compassion)

Reflections on unconditional love, self-acceptance, and the ways compassion weaves us into belonging with one another.

Pontoon: Sanctuary Is Meant to Float

Ananda is the sound of music across water. The laughter of friends. The grill smoking. The dance on a shaky deck. Bliss doesn’t demand perfection—it finds you when you’re barefoot with your people.

Holy Water: Why Feelers Are the Sacred Infrastructure of a Numb World

The ones who cry in silence because someone else’s pain echoes too loudly. The ones who collapse after holding space all day — and still show up tomorrow. The ones who know things before they’re said… and carry them anyway.
