Jim Dollar's Photography and Philosophy

Finding our way to The Way one situation at a time. I don't know how great it will be, but I expect it will be interesting, and I look forward to it going on past all reason because wonder is just that way. Are you coming or not?

01 What are we doing with our life? Who are we becoming through the process/experience of being alive? How mindfully do we live? How conscious are we of living? Of being alive to the process/experience of being alive? What makes one day different from another? What do we mean/intend by the life we are living?Continue reading “June 10, 2021”

01 I maintain my balance and harmony by writing it out. That’s what I’m doing here each day. This is my meditative, therapeutic, readjustment, reorientation, re-grounding, reformation exercise. I remind myself here what is important, how things work, and realign myself with who I am and what needs to be done on a daily basis,Continue reading “June 09, 2021”

01 What I am about to say has nothing whatsoever to do with the Eucharist, The Last Supper, except that the Eucharist is an extension of what I am about to say, an elaboration, a deliberate and intentional application, as though Jesus is saying, metaphorically, symbolically, “This is the truth of how things are. ThisContinue reading “June 08, 2021”

01 We all are looking for what works. The tragedy is that we all know what works, and it isn’t splashy enough for us. We want something else to work, and spend our lives trying to make something work that isn’t going to work. And we know it, but maybe if we try harder… AndContinue reading “June 07, 2021”

01 We pick up, put down, pass on (in the sense of “I’ll pass on that,” and not in the sense of what we leave behind), pass by. I pass on a lot of things, and pass by unseeing too many things, and I’ve put down most of the things I’ve picked up. But I’mContinue reading “June 06, 2021”

01 We have to be able to take a joke in this world, because the joke is on us. We think it is this way, and it’s that way. We think we get it, and think it’s that way, and it’s this way. Thinking that we get it is the joke that is on us.Continue reading “June 05, 2021”

01 Our motive for most of our action is what’s in it for us. What we stand to gain. What we can keep from losing. Since Adam and Eve, we have been seeking better. Our motto through the ages has been: “NOT This! THAT!” Ambition, aspiration, incentive, drive and desire are the motivating forces ofContinue reading “June 04, 2021”

01 It is a psychological saw that we need to stand out and fit in, and between those polarities lie all of our problems. Fitting in is being like those we aspire to be like (Or are afraid to not be like). Standing out is expressing our natural self in the way we go aboutContinue reading “June 03, 2021”

01 If you are waiting for things to make sense, you are standing in the wrong line. There isn’t a line. Things do not make sense. Coming to terms with that positions you well to make it the rest of the way. Now, you only need to square yourself up with doing what needs toContinue reading “June 02, 2021”

01 There is a price to be paid for doing it– and for doing it the way we do it. Whatever “it” is. Democracy carries a price tag. “Freedom isn’t free,” as the popular catch phrase goes, though the people saying it rarely apply it to themselves. It applies to wearing masks during pandemics asContinue reading “June 01, 2021”

01 It is best to wake up slowly, gently, over a long period of time. There is no hurry, and the transition is life-changing. The transition is part of the process. Waking up requires us to completely transform our relationships with our life, our self, other people– and we do not do that overnight. WeContinue reading “May 31, 2021”
