I crawled to the lip of the canyon to take this photograph, amid the laughter of other photographers gathered about. I got the picture and they got to laugh. Worked out well, I say. A little something for everyone. We have to know what our limits are and honor them by living within them. ThisContinue reading “August 08, 2026”

We live, in part, to offset the impact of our life upon us to this point, at every point along the way. There is a sense in which we never get over having lived up to this point. We carry our past with us all the way. And we do not know who we mightContinue reading “August 07, 2026”

When it’s too much for you, call time out. Acknowledge the overwhelming nature of events and circumstances. Sit quietly, or go for a walk, or take a shower… Whatever form timeout needs to take, and just allow the moment to be as it is, and turn things over to Psyche Tao Intuition (I don’t sayContinue reading “August 06, 2026”

Psyche, Tao, Intuition have always been and always will be. Settling in with them for the long haul is all it takes to have what it takes to do what needs to be done. That’s what emptiness, stillness, silence (One thing, not three) is for. We meet up with Psyche, Tao, Intuition in emptiness, stillness,Continue reading “August 05, 2026”

Donald Trump wants to transform history, and the Republican Party is all for it. This is crazy. And wrong. It’s psychotic, as in losing touch with reality.

My new web site, Tao-Psyche-Intuition.com is open for business and is home to the best I have to offer, representing the essence of who I am. I hope you feel at home there.

I had a piece of lemon ice box pie and a cup of coffee Saturday at our weekly family lunch out with the daughters and granddaughters. The pie and the coffee is what I had for lunch. My new Saturday lunch. I intend for it to be a regular thing. It is my way outContinue reading “August 03, 2026”

It’s all up to us, what we do with it. What we do. I’m all for doing what is called for. The trick is knowing what that is. We know when we are imposing ourselves upon the situation, and when we are cooperating with the situation, merging with the situation, being one with the situation,Continue reading “August 02, 2026”

I have never known what I am doing–and it has worked out just fine. I have always trusted my luck and never pushed it. And that doesn’t mean I know what I’m doing. It means I do not push my luck. And I would never recommend that strategy to anyone else. Each one of usContinue reading “August 01, 2026”

Yin-Yang is balance and harmony throughout the Cosmos. Equal and opposite forces of attraction and repulsion are bound together and make life possible. Without the bond we all fly off in different directions at once. The stupid ones among us think that if we can only get rid of what we hate, we would liveContinue reading “July 31, 2026 – B”

My cognitive decline is a little like dying with your eyes open while you are disconnecting. Here but not present. Or present but not here. And it is unpleasant however you choose to look at it. I look the other way, turn the light around, and flip the switch to “Peaceful abiding, here, now.” AndContinue reading “July 31, 2026”
