I have decided to bring David’s Desk to a close. It’s been a good 16-year run, far beyond anything I expected when I started. Its success has been due to your continued interest and support, for which I am most grateful. It’s been a privilege to share my ideas with you.

Spirituality has never been about short-term experiences or solutions. It is part of the “long wave” of human experience and growth. It some ways it’s not even about solutions but about the process of arriving at solutions, about how we think, how we feel, how we see, how we engage.

No one quite knows the origin of April Fool’s Day, a day of pranks and jokes played on unsuspecting people. However it started, the custom of having such a day, whether on the first of April or not, is widespread now, found in North America, Europe, and even in the Middle East. And since its origins are shrouded in the mists of history.

When I attune to the angelic realms of Light, I have often received the following message:

If you could see the world as we see it, we would be better able to work with you.

It has to do with resonance. The greater the resonance between two beings, the deeper and more effective the partnership or collaboration can be between them. This is true for us in the physical world. It’s even more true for beings in the subtle dimensions.

For those who are seriously following and striving to embody a spiritual path, it is more than time for us to recognize the Light within us each and to honor this common bond. How can we help each other live out from this Light, not as a set of beliefs or dogmas but as a presence of love waiting to emerge in mutual respect, partnership, and blessing?

The birth of a new year was heralded around the world with a succession of spectacular fireworks displays in humanity’s major cities beginning with New Zealand. Watching it on television, I could only marvel at the extent of this planetary event celebrated even in countries like China whose native calendar marks the New Year at a different time of the year. For one twenty-four hour moment, humanity is united in its hope for a better future.
