01 The individual, personal, devoted oath of allegiance to the service of virtues worthy of fealty, liege loyalty and filial dependability in each situation as it arises our entire life long is all that is needed to right the ship and sail through heaving waves past clashing rocks and perils of the journey, holding aContinue reading “May 12-B, 2022”

01 What do you know of God that you did not receive from some other source, including the Bible? What is your own experience of God? Who is the God YOU call God? Nobody can give you your God. The only God that can be your God is the God you know to be God,Continue reading “May 12, 2022”

01 This present moment’s relationship with the entirety of my life is seemingly inconsequential in its ordinariness, but the theme of “ordinary” played out in a string of such moments begins to weigh-in on the entirety of my life, and becomes quiet influential over time. Enough “ordinary days” become a quite “ordinary life.” And, itContinue reading “May 11, 2022”

01 To be in the Flow is to be so with what is happening and to know so spontaneously what needs to happen that we are one with the movement of the moment, as dancers are one with each other, and one with the music, and one with the dance, so that neither the dancers,Continue reading “May 10, 2022”

01 Here is a link ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8maYNgf_afA ) to a performance of my favorite Bluegrass/Gospel group who also connects me with the Tao flowing through all things to carry us all through “the Great Flow of Circumstances” to balance and harmony, sincerity and integrity, spirit, energy and vitality at the core of life and being.Continue reading “May 09-B, 2022”

01 Letting the situation elicit, evoke, our response to it instead of forcing a predetermined way of acting on it based on what we want to achieve is not conducive to the balance, harmony and flow of the situation and its possibilities. We cannot have a formula in mind for producing the life we wantContinue reading “May 07, 2022”

01 We need a base, anchoring us, providing stability, balance and harmony amid the upheavals and uncertainty of social and political unrest. Where do you go in time of trouble? The right kind of emptiness (Like the emptiness between breaths), stillness and silence do it for me. I close myself off from the noise, complexityContinue reading “May 05, 2022”

01 Something knows where to put the tripod. Or did, back when I used a tripod. Now, something knows where to stand, how to compose the image, when to take the picture. I don’t think about any of this. I simply listen for “Yes/No,” “Here/There,” “Now/Later”… It all begins with what catches my eye. IContinue reading “May 04, 2022”

01 We don’t see anything just as it is. Everything carries our projection of itself “as it is to us” for us to inspect, examine and admire, or detest, in a “Just as I thought” kind of way. We see what we expect to see, and are rarely surprised, merely affirmed. And the few surprisesContinue reading “May 03, 2022”

01 What is stopping us from becoming neglected, abandoned, betrayed? We are the guardians of ourselves. We are the champions of our bodies, our lives. We owe fealty to our original nature and the virtues that are ours from birth. No knight in shinning armor’s oath of liege loyalty and filial devotion was greater thanContinue reading “May 02, 2022”

01 It all depends upon and flows from our doing the next thing that needs to be done, the way it needs to be done, when and where it needs to be done, because it needs to be done, for the simple joy of doing it and the satisfaction of having done it, with noContinue reading “May 01, 2022”
