02 The way we go about our business impacts, for better or worse, the way other people go about their business. The way we live encourages or discourages those around us. We live for one another as well as for ourselves. We have responsibilities that extend far beyond us, to encompass the entire planet. WhatContinue reading “March 19, 2021,”

04 Regardless of the concern, dilemma, problem, question, uncertainty… sit with it quietly, waiting, watching, to see what arises, emerges, beckons, calls, occurs, dawns, summons, demands, insists, requires… out of the silence. What you do with it is entirely up to you. –0– 03 Do not look beyond the moment. Live to be what theContinue reading “March 18, 2021”

05 We are here to love life and pass it on. We love life by doing what we love. We pass it on by helping others do what they love. Is this simple, or, as they say, what? “How can I help?” is the question we ask of each situation as it arises. What willContinue reading “March 17, 2021”

03 Joseph Campbell said that aging is a process of refinement. Over time we settle on what is important, filter out the nonsense and the drama, and spend our last years with what matters most. What that is will be different for each of us, but all of us know what is important to us,Continue reading “March 16, 2021”

04 There are situations aplenty that we cannot make better, but there are no situations we cannot make worse by the way we respond to them. We hold the power to make every situation as it arises as good as it can be by the way we respond to it. No super-hero ever had moreContinue reading “March 15, 2021”

03 We know when things are balanced and harmonious, and we know when things are unsettled, chaotic and out of control. We know when we are fighting with our life, struggling to get things into place, and when we are at peace with our life, lolling in “the land of gentle breezes where the peacefulContinue reading “March 12, 2021”

03 Treat wherever you are as though it is exactly where you want to be, and do everything that is called for there precisely as it needs to be done for as long as you are there. This is one way of “turning the light around.” Turning the light around means finding on the insideContinue reading “March 09, 2021”

04 I feel sorry for whomever it is keeping me company– keeping us company– as an inner presence, as our best invisible friend, on our way through our life. That is the presence that keeps giving us tips, hints, nudges… that works to wake us up and turn us toward the light, and we keepContinue reading “March 08, 2021”

03 The people who say, “Nothing matters!” say it in a way that suggests it matters that nothing matters. What matters, matters! Sit down with yourself and ferret out what matters to you. Then stand up, step back into your life, and live there as though what matters to you matters!!! Put passion into yourContinue reading “March 07, 2021”

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”
