01 Joseph Campbell said, “The influence of a vital person vitalizes.” “The way to save the world is to bring it to life, and the way to do that is to find in you own case what brings you to life, and to do that– to be alive yourself.” How alive are you? How longContinue reading “May 26-B, 2022”

01 The Unfinished Circle represents all that is broken about us, incomplete, unfinished, imperfect, undeveloped, missing, impaired, out of order, unpolished, malfunctioning, insufficient, lacking and unready about us all. Every one of us comes “just so” to each situation as it arises, and steps into it ready to do what needs to be done asContinue reading “May 26, 2022”

Today, the Yanomami should be celebrating the 30th anniversary of the official demarcation of their territory on May 25th, 1992, but tens of thousands of illegal gold miners allied with armed criminal gangs are acting with impunity in their territory right now, contaminating rivers with mercury and intimidating and harming the community!

01 We are here to make the best of it. To bring our best forth to meet it– to meet what meets us in each situation as it arises, without caring what our chances are. How we meet the moment is the only thing that matters. If the moment walks all over us and leavesContinue reading “May 25, 2022”

01 We cooperate — collaborate — with our life just to see where it will take us. We are not serving some hidden purpose, fulfilling a plan that was laid down before we were born. We are relishing wonder, creating a life that has never been lived before, pursuing joy and satisfaction, allowing our interestsContinue reading “May 24, 2022”

01 Friedrich Nietzsche said the goal of maturity is to live as one who is directed from within, “like a wheel rolling out of its own center” (Joseph Campbell). I prefer the metaphor of a gyroscope turning out of its own center, maintaining its own balance and harmony amid the chaos and upheaval of itsContinue reading “May 23, 2022”

01 Marianne Moore said, “The cure for loneliness is solitude.” The trick to managing our solitude is emptiness, stillness and silence. The trick to emptiness is no expectations, no agenda, no opinions, no engagement with anything that comes up, so that nothing sticks. Everything just flows on by.

o1 We cannot mature without changing the way we live our life. That is why we are awash in immaturity everywhere we look. No one wants anything to be different about their life ever (Or, everybody wishes their life were different, with nothing changing). Hanging on, hanging on, not letting anything go. How is thatContinue reading “May 20, 2022”

01 The world is as we make it out to be and we cannot get beyond our idea of how things are to how things actually are. We don’t know how things actually are. How they appear to be is as close as we can get. This plays nicely with: No expectations! No agenda! NoContinue reading “May 19-C, 2022”
