02 I’ve been wondering lately about what’s working. Government is not working anywhere. Democracy is not working in the US or the UK. The GOP is the most dysfunctional political party I have ever lived with. I could go on. And on. About what is not working. Gravity is working. Music is working. Poetry isContinue reading “March 05, 2021”

03 Anything properly considered becomes a portkey to realization and transformation. A horoscope, a fortune cookie (The fortune or the cookie), a horseshoe nail… The key is a meditative perspective and a problem or a pressing question, and the probing inquiry: “How does this connect with that?” Sit with the question as a novice mightContinue reading “March 04, 2021”

03 We are looking for what? What would it take to be satisfied and content? What person, living or dead, actual or fictional, is your ideal of having lived the way you would like to live? So that, at the end, you could be proud of the life you lived? Keep that person before youContinue reading “March 03, 2021”

03 If you don’t know what I mean, you can’t expect to understand what I’m saying. We get to meanings through the process of living our lives. By the track our thoughts take, the questions we ask, the books we read, the conversations we engage in, and those we overhear… The experience of life leadsContinue reading “March 02, 2021”

03 Wherever we are is just where we are, physically, intellectually, emotionally, psychologically, politically, religiously, racially, gender-wise, sex-preference-wise etc. If we could be somewhere else, we might well be there, but this is where we are, and we can only be comfortable with people who are no further away, than two or three degrees eitherContinue reading “March 01, 2021”

02 Finding what resonates with us and spending time with it opens the way to balance and harmony. Resonance is the bond uniting us with the mystery at the heart of life and being. We know it when it happens, but we cannot predict when it is going to happen, or make it happen byContinue reading “February 28, 2021”

03 Once we adjust and adapt to our life, everything is perfect. Until then, we are at war with our life, hell-bent on pounding it into a shape that is pleasing to us, pushing, forcing, striving, commanding, compelling, contending with forces quite beyond us, determined to have our way with our life or die trying.Continue reading “February 27, 2021”

05 What do you take your time with? Spend time with? What do you do well? What do you care about? What do you believe in– not as a statement of faith, but as a declaration of what is important to you, of what matters to you? These are centering questions. They point you to–Continue reading “February 26, 2021”

04 In every situation, there is a tipping point where the responses of the people in the situation can influence the outcome of the situation for better or for worse. Our response in the present moment has an influential impact upon future moments, both immediate and distant. We wield the power for good or forContinue reading “February 25, 2021”

02 Our motives stem from our desires and fears. From what we want and don’t want. Look around. We could do better with different reasons for doing what we do, and do not. Reasons that have nothing to do with our advantage, gain, advancement, benefit, pleasure or profit. There are two approaches to take inContinue reading “February 24, 2021”

02 We take everything on faith. Or close enough. “Objective reality” is pretty much fabricated, assumed, projected, inferred, made up, and pretended to be what we say it is. How do we know that what we say is so, is so? Who says so? And, who says they know what they are talking about? And,Continue reading “February 23, 2021”
