01 In every situation there is what needs to happen, what can happen, what will not happen, and what happens. What determines what happens is a matter of time and chance, which the good book says “happens to us all.” What it doesn’t say is “all the time.” We are here, now, by virtue ofContinue reading “October 02, 2021”

01 We are built for a certain way of life. Our integrity and our sincerity depend upon– and therefore require– our being aligned with, and living in accord with, the life that we are built to live, the life that waits on us to live it. We cannot live just any life, and fit, andContinue reading “October 01, 2021”

2021 D

This is the placeholder home page for the Fourth Quarter of 2021. Finding our way into alignment with the way that is our way is a matter of looking and listening to the point of seeing and hearing– to the point of realization, which basically is knowing yes and no when we see it. WhenContinue reading “2021 D”

01 Stillness and silence invite emptiness– invite us to empty ourselves of the clutter, complexity and noise that make stillness and silence impossible– and provide the atmosphere necessary for rumination and reflection, listening and looking, inquiry and investigation which lead to new realizations, and open the way to transformation and redirection. Everything hinges on regularContinue reading “October 2021”

01 Live to be good for nothing. Live to do what is good whether it does any good or not. Live to be who Jesus was, who, when he died, left more evil in the world than was there when he was born. Who left more poor and hungry people in the world than wereContinue reading “September 30, 2021”

01 There are things we need to do without knowing why. When those things come along do them! Don’t delay looking for reasons! Don’t talk yourself out of doing them because you can’t explain doing them! Having to give people “one good reason why” you are doing what needs to be done has kept moreContinue reading “September 29, 2021”

01 We worry about what is going to happen to us and those we love. We hope for the best, and fear the worst, and lose the time that is at hand wishing and dreading. Now is the only time there is. Now is the time to let ourselves out of the box. To openContinue reading “September 28, 2021”

01 Where do you belong? Where do you have no business being? Where do you feel at home? Where are you out of place? How do you spend your time in ways that are right for you? How do you spend your time in ways that are wrong for you? Are you going with theContinue reading “September 27, 2021”

01 Sit still. Be quiet. Pay attention. To all that arises in the silence. Be curious about what catches your eye. See where it goes. Every day. Throughout the day. You are getting to the bottom of it. Of it all. Especially of YOU. The curiosity part is the best part. If you are End-driven,Continue reading “September 26, 2021”

01 Prosperity is having what we need to do what needs to be done. We think of prosperity as having more than we need so that we do not have to do anything. We think having it made is not having to do anything we don’t want to do. We think “being free” is beingContinue reading “September 25, 2021”

01 Everybody wants a better life. That’s where the similarity ends. Everybody has a different idea of what that means and how to achieve it. Which results in the mess everything is in. A lot of people think having their way would result in a better life. A lot of people think having more moneyContinue reading “September 24, 2021”

01 Having expectations, having desires, having resentments, having fears, having anger, having duties and responsibilities keep us from being alive. Being alive is being being balanced and in harmony with ourselves, our life, and one another, living with sincerity and integrity, having energy, spirit and vitality, and acting in the service of what needs toContinue reading “September 23, 2021”
