01 Everybody has as much right to be here, now, as anybody does. White privilege is a fantasy created in the minds of those who need to feel better than someone else because they have no grounding foundation of their own. White privilege is evidence of the fear of inferiority, insecurity and insignificance. Of beingContinue reading “January 13, 2022”

01 I write a lot and say very little. Very little that is different from what I’ve been saying for a lot of years. Since 1985,or earlier. How much did Jesus say that was different from what else he said? Or the Buddha? Or the Dali Lama? Chuang Tzu was a contemporary (Probably/maybe) with LaoContinue reading “January 12, 2022”

It takes a lifetime of living, or two, to know what’s what, and what matters most, and whatContinue reading “January 09, 2022”

01 Dedication to the task is the foundational requirement for a life well-lived. The task being what needs to be done, the way it needs to be done, when and where it needs to be done in each situation as it arises, no matter what, for the joy of doing it and the satisfaction/delight inContinue reading “January 08, 2022”

01 The tasks of life cannot be ignored. They must be served with our life– our way with life– all our life long. The five most important relationships are with ourselves, with our work, (which is not the work we are paid to do, but the work we are born to do, the work weContinue reading “January 07, 2022”

01 We find the harmony, and it finds us. But, we don’t go looking for it. We open our eyes and there it is, looking for us. Waiting on us. It is there all along, waiting. For us to open our eyes in just the right way, on just the right day, And there weContinue reading “January 06, 2022”

01 I think it is denial to think that tough times won’t be with us for a while– a longer while that we would wish for. That leaves us with preparing for dark times and low spirits. We could start by creating a sacred space, not religious so much as a spiritual retreat, an oasisContinue reading “January 05, 2022”

01 Forget being happy. Forget having your way. Forget getting what you want. Live to know what is called for, to know what needs to be done, here and now, and do it in every situation as it arises, throughout the rest of your life. Live to serve the moment, this moment, right now. MomentContinue reading “January 04, 2022”
