01 Live to be appropriate in the time and place of your living. “Appropriate” is the right combination of what is needed in the moment and what is allowed by the moment.

o1 There is only the pain– dancing with the pain, bearing the pain, coming to terms with the pain, making our peace with the pain… Growing up is an exercise in pain management. Living is adjusting ourselves to the pain of being alive. If you don’t know what I’m talking about, you are in denial.Continue reading “October 29, 2021”

01 It’s the quiet life for me. In preparation, perhaps, for my eventual return to the eternal silence, from which we come and to which we belong. Just being, I suppose, with what we have done, and what we have failed to do, in the time that was ours to show/discover/make our peace with ourContinue reading “October 27, 2021”

01 Making the best of what we are handed in a day means letting a lot of it go. Betrayal? Let it go. Neglect? Let it go. Abandonment? Let it go. Humiliation? Disappointment? Defeat? Etc.? Let it all go– in the strength of our own resiliency and resolve, grounded upon our unshakable faith in ourselvesContinue reading “October 26, 2021”

01 The Way of the Butterfly is The Way of us all. It cannot be spelled out, mapped out, explained (He said, explaining that it cannot be explained!) defined, told, said, outlined, made clear… Butterflies come out of the chrysalis knowing how to do what they do.

01 I wish people were transparent. At least as transparent as dogs and horses. There is no lying with dogs and horses. Or cats. We know where we stand with plants and animals. They all are like the Buddha, as one “thus come,” just as they are, straight from the womb, or the acorn. WeContinue reading “October 23, 2021”

01 There is no god in the sky, making weal and creating woe. We are all we have. All there is. All we need. We have made all the rest of it up to comfort ourselves in the uncertainty of our existence through all those years of being at the mercy of everything. The moreContinue reading “October 22, 2021”

01 The forces that keep from happening any of the things that need to happen are firmly in place and nothing can happen that ought to happen. The Good always needs champions, but none are currently available, and all that might have taken the role are complacent and compliant servants of The Way Things MustContinue reading “October 21, 2021”

01 We rise and meet the day, every day. And do there what needs to be done. When it needs to be done. Where it needs to be done. How it needs to be done. Because it needs to be done. Each day has its own rhythms, and occasions, and times. Its own movement, andContinue reading “October 20, 2021”
