For those of you who know me, you understand that I have a deep interest in spirituality and how such things as individual and collective consciousness and the numinous or divine realms affect the seen world. Most of my adult life has involved activities that enable me to explore the questions of who we are and how we are connected to each other, to God, and to the unfolding future.  This web site is dedicated to that pursuit.

I believe that we are, at our essence, spiritual beings and that what we do with our lives here on earth matters not only in the here and now, but also in the vast expanse of eternity.

During the course of my life, I have been fortunate to meet a host of learned, wise and compassionate people who have expanded both my heart and mind.  As a journalist I have interviewed and published many of the conversations that I have had with these wonderful people.  As a freelance writer, I have written articles about the topics we discussed.  You will find some of the best listed by title in the row of buttons at the top.

Aside from my journalism, I have authored two books — Red Moon Passage: The Power and Wisdom of Menopause (Harmony Books 1996) and Voices of Integrative Medicine: Conversations and Encounters (Churchill Livingstone 2003).  I have just completed a novel which is being represented by Jennifer Weltz of the Jean V. Naggar Literary Agency in New York City.  BETWEEN THE EARTH AND THE SKY is the story of a woman trying to understand the hidden nature of reality as she deals with the ups and downs of her life.  I'll let you know as soon as it has a home.

It seems like something happens every day that opens up new vistas, causes me to question old assumptions, or reaffirms my beliefs and understandings.  Essays about these newer quests can be found on the Blog page.

And last, I am collecting facts and stories about miracles and miracle traditions such as the making of milagros, retablos, pahos and other votive offerings; fetishes; the use of prayer; the construction of shrines; and places across the globe that are reported to posses healing powers.  Essays about these traditions can be found under the Miracles button.

Please feel free to contact me with your own miracle stories and experiences.  I can be reached at bonniehorrigan@cox.net.
