The Light Is Always Here
You cannot extinguish light. You cannot destroy love. In this closing Pulse, John Moos, MD ends the series with one idea, one scripture, and a three-minute video about the cosmos that makes the same point.
The Three Amigos, and Forever, Amigos They’ll Be
Every tradition keeps arriving at the same three relationships: self, other, and creation. In this Brief, John Moos, MD explores the relational architecture of sin, grace, and why turning back toward any one of them tends to heal all three.
Embrace Grace
Grace surrounds us more often than we notice. This Pulse offers a simple practice in letting it land instead of deflecting it.
The Grace That Costs Something
There is a grace that costs nothing, and a grace that costs something real. In this Brief, John Moos, MD reflects on choosing welcome over exclusion in his own family, without naming the details that aren't his alone to share.
Unblock Your Threshold
I don't have any friends from childhood, because I let them go on purpose, more than once. In this Practice, John Moos, MD names that pattern and offers a way to notice it before it repeats.
Collateral Grace
A spilled latte, a stranger's kindness, and a lesson in what grace actually feels like. In this Flash, John Moos, MD explores why small, unconditional gestures almost always outweigh their size.
The Body You Never Owned
We don't own our bodies, minds, or lives. We steward them. In this Field Notes, John Moos, MD reflects on a restorative yoga practice and the walls we build that block the grace meant to reach us.
