What we do and leave undone.What we love and what we hate, despise, detest matter.And it is up to each of us to live as though it is so.To live as though life matters.Even though Donald TrumpContinue reading “February 01, 2026”

Living from the inside out is done by dropping into the silence and waiting for clarity regarding what’s what, what’s happening, what’s called for, when, where and how and taking our body’s lead from there. It is called “Getting out of our head and into our body.” Not allowing what we want/desire/fear/dread enter into theContinue reading “January 31, 2026”

This is from my WordPress Blog “200 More Zen Thoughts From Jim Dollar #3” 006. Different choices, different outcomes. Sounds easy. The problem is that we want particular outcomes.

Like and don’t like, want and don’t want, are poor guidesContinue reading “January 25, 2026”

Where do Trump and MAGA part ways? Where is Trump not being Trump-enough for MAGA? Where is MAGA being too much Trump for Trump? Where does the line lie? The core at the heart of both is genocide. They both want to kill everyone not white like they are. White Supremacy is actually White Exclusivity.Continue reading “January 24, 2026”

There are people who would throw a rock into the middle of tranquility because that is who they are. They don’t know why and they don’t care.
