David's Desk #205: Finale
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.
Celebrating the Fires of Creativity Together: A Gaian Festival of Wholeness
Solstice celebrations invoke the element of Fire so naturally. In June, in the Northern Hemisphere, we honor the Sun Fire at its highest and greatest expression of Light at Summer Solstice. We build bonfires outside and bask in the warmth and levity of long hot summer days, blossoms and fruit, the abundance of life. In the Southern Hemisphere we honor the Sun Fire within, burning at the heart of the close and holy darkness of Winter Solstice time.
Why Do Humans Exist?
The Earth is unfolding its inherent sacredness, becoming a planet of Light. This is not happening suddenly nor will it happen overnight. It is a process long anticipated, and now we are in the beginning stages. To you it may seem as if the world is plunging into darkness, but to us, it is becoming more radiant.

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.
Exploring Subtle Energies, Translating the Earth
Exploring subtle energy feels like a kind of listening curiosity that helps me to create a quiet spaciousness around me. I can rest there and allow myself to become aware of the subtle signals in my energy field as it touches the world around me–a tree, a body of water, a building, an event, a person. I can feel the wonder and magic of a discovery process beginning in me.

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.
Incarnational Spirituality and the Healing of Trauma
IS is about healing our sense of spiritual identity, which is every bit as important as healing ourselves psychologically or physically. It’s part of our wholeness, as is the healing and wholeness of our subtle energy “body” or field, which is also a focus of Incarnational Spirituality.
2024 Equinox Festival: Celebrating the Element of Air
We came back around to the solstice of winter in the north and summer in the south, we highlighted fire and the warmth of heart and hearth. And now this spring/fall equinox celebration is completing the cycle and we're recognizing the element of air and the way it supports communication and connection.

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.
The Soul's Laboratory
Imagination is not just about creating images or “making things up.” I think of imagination as our soul’s personal laboratory for the study of the life and responsiveness of matter. We are learning how to master the relationships that draw this life of matter into partnership and harmony with the earth and a Gaian imagination.
