The force that centers us, grounds us, balances us, harmonizes us, directs us, guides us, has been called the Tao at work in our life for thousands of years. We can think of the Tao as the flow of life and being. As that which moves all life and every thing. As “circumstances begetting circumstances,”Continue reading “March 30, 2026”

It is ridiculous, obscene, ludicrous, absurd, to think that any of us need to be saved from the fallout of the supposed sin of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. All that any of us need ever is to be who we are, where we are, when we are, how we are, doingContinue reading “March 29, 2026”

It is easy to think that the dead are better off but. It is ridiculous to suppose so because we can’t get to the facts without being dead. And if we think the point of living is to have it made with joy and gladness all around, that is also ridiculous because there is nothingContinue reading “March 28, 2026”

Understanding “projection,” not as a psychological defense mechanism where by we imagine others to be as we are, and see in them characteristics that are actually true of us, but as a tendency we have to project our bias regarding an entire class of people as being true of those people. Racism is a whiteContinue reading “March 27, 2026”

All of us are waiting to see what the next few weeks bring. The war-racked economy impacts everyone worldwide. And Trump thought he deserved a Nobel Peace Prize. He will take publicity and recognition for anything, at any time, maintaining his status as a loose canon careening around on the deck of Planet Earth, firingContinue reading “March 26, 2026”

Sitting quietly, waiting for what is called for by the situation at hand to urge us into action in doing what needs to be done, when, where and how it needs to be done, then settling back into the next thing that is called for, etc., is a routine that has little time for anxiety,Continue reading “March 25, 2025”

Psyche is known best via intuition and dreams (Both nighttime dreams and day dreams). Psyche makes herself known to us in these ways, and becomes known herself. What has always been referred to as “the presence of God” is exactly the same thing as “the presence of Psyche.” I prefer “Psyche” to “God” because thereContinue reading “March 24, 2026”

The world is filled with places that have no more promise or hope than this scene at the end of a dirt road in North Carolina. But. For all its forlornness and its forever going no-where-ness, I find it to be beautiful, serene, centering, grounding, and an invitation to sit and stay for a while.Continue reading “March 23, 2026”

Wanting is the biggest block to being there is. Being simply drops into emptiness, stillness and silence and waits for clarity about what’s what and what is called for and what needs to be done about it, when, where and how. Does it, drops into emptiness, stillness and silence and waits for clarity… In eachContinue reading “March 22, 2026”

Getting up and doing what is called for, where, when and how it is called for, in each situation as it arises is just what we do. If we go on vacation, we do what is called for, where, when and how it is called for even on vacation. There are no days off. WeContinue reading “March 21, 2026”

It requires emptiness, stillness and silence to find our way to our intuition. Emptiness is achieved by disengaging ourselves from everything we meet in the stillness and silence. When we sit quietly, we immediately begin to generate internal noise that we escape only by drinking whiskey straight from the bottle. All of the escapes, diversions,Continue reading “March 20, 2026”

I fell in love with a camera when I saw a 35mm Single Lens Reflex camera on a pool side table in a black-and-white made for TV movie as I walked through our living room on my way to the kitchen when I was a Junior in college. I felt the attraction throughout my body,Continue reading “March 19, 2026”
