What do you do with all your heart? The quality of the remainder of your life, and its value to you and everyone else, hinges on how much time you devote to the things you do with all your heart. We are not here to just pass the time. We are here to invest ourselvesContinue reading “September 07-A, 2022”

It is all in how we react/respond to what happens that tells the tale– the tale we are here to tell by the way we live our life, which comes down to what we do about each situation as it arises all our life long. We do not know what to do. We do notContinue reading “September 06-C, 2022”

The history of the world– the complete history of the world– is little more than the history of war. I am disgusted that we put so much into having our way and pushing it onto all others– across the board, around the table, throughout history, from the first day we killed somebody because they pissedContinue reading “September 05-D, 2022”

Our idea of God is not God. God is not who we make God out to be. Any God that we make out to be God is not God. Which makes all the debates about God ridiculous. And theology, superfluous and absurd– along with all doctrine, dogma and dharma. The only fitting response to theContinue reading “September 05-A, 2022”

Images have the ability to stop us and hold our attention for a moment, or longer, depending on, what? What stops us? What holds our attention? What stops you? What holds your attention? Pay attention to what commands your attention– to what catches your eye. What evokes your wonder? What charms you? Speaks to you?Continue reading “September 04-A, 2022”

Intending mercy and goodwill, kindness, generosity, compassion, graciousness, integrity and sincerity will do no harm. Living from the heart, with no stake in the outcome beyond doing the best we are capable of doing in each situation as it arises, without being profit driven, or gain/advantage obsessed, will go a long way toward peaceful accordContinue reading “September 03-C, 2022”

We don’t find it, it finds us. The motivation/interest/desire/energy to get up and do what needs us to do it. Our problem is not finding it, but ignoring it, dismissing it, discounting it, disregarding it, putting it off, laying it aside, rejecting it, refusing to have anything to do with it because it isn’t upContinue reading “September 03-B, 2022”

Joseph Campbell asked, “How can one person get God into the heart of another person?” How can any person get God into their own heart? Praying? Reading the Bible? Reciting a catechism? Chanting The Hail Mary and The Our Father back to back? Campbell’s question is like asking, “How can one person enlighten another person?”Continue reading “September 02-D, 2022”

We do not know what we are doing, or where we are going, or why it is like it is and not some other way instead. We’re just trying to make the best of it, without knowing what the best of it is, and we settle for smooth and easy, hoping to get ahead, whateverContinue reading “September 01-B, 2022”

Emptiness, stillness and silence are the sources of the future, our own and that of the cosmos. What does not come from emptiness, stillness and silence, comes from chaos and anarchy, and people trying to force their way through the world, as though they know where they are going, when all they know is whatContinue reading “September 01-A, 2022”

What does wanting know? We know what we want, but we don’t know/care what we ought to want, and we know know how to want what we ought to want, even if we know what that is. We cannot control our wanting. We cannot control what we think is important, and we cannot force ourselvesContinue reading “September, 2022”
