Sex can be a lot of fun, but it can also get in the way. Sex has no necessary connection with intimacy– though it is often referred to as “an intimate relationship.” Too often, it is a way of avoiding intimacy. We go to sex to keep from being known. Being known in the BiblicalContinue reading “August 19-D, 2022”

We know what the truth is. And hide from it, pretending we don’t know. And here we are. We know what we know, and what we think we know, and opt for what we think we know because what we know asks hard things of us. “We can’t handle the truth” (Col Nathan R. Jessup),Continue reading “August 18-B, 2022”

We step off the beam when we begin to calculate our advantage, think about what we stand to gain, and plot our strategy with our best interests in mind. As though we know what our best interests are. We step back on the beam, when we catch ourselves in the act of being crafty andContinue reading “August 18-A, 2022”

When you are fragile and fragmented I recommend being fragile and fragmented. That’s one less thing you have to worry about. Then do the breathe in, breathe out, count to five (If you can time the counting with your heart beat, so much the better!), for five rounds five times a day. It won’t usherContinue reading “August 15-A, 2022”

There is no Dark Side. There is no Evil Force. There are only foxes and rabbits. Lions and antelope. And human beings driven by ruthlessness, greed and fear, who want what they have no business having, and demand a profit at any price every day. Enlightenment, realization, awakening, illumination is the end of selfishness andContinue reading “August 13-B, 2022”

Do you think Jesus had something you don’t have? That would be different from Michael Jordan having something you don’t have? And different from your best friend having something you don’t have? I’ll give Jesus a tender heart, a godly bearing, and an orientation toward, and perception of, the numinous, the ineffable, the things thatContinue reading “August 13-A, 2022”

If Lauren Boebert, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Ron DeSantis, Greg Abbot, and their clan hold the slightest attraction, the barest fascination, for you, what are you doing reading this? You belong to the Anti-Woke segment of society, and should be chanting the chants and waving the flags of your kind. You should be lapping up theContinue reading “August 12-C, 2022”

If we don’t know whether something will work, we only have to give it a spin. Everything becomes clear with time, even to those seeped in denial. Start walking with awareness and the path will open before you— and if the path you think is the path turns out to not be the path, sitContinue reading “August 12-B, 2022”

Luck is dependent upon the way we see what is happening. Good luck is always aligned with our wants, wishes and desires. Bad luck is always contrary to what we would like to have. Change your mind about what is important, and you luck will always be good. And when something does not go yourContinue reading “August 12-A, 2022”

Here is a quote from my book, “A Handbook for the Spiritual Journey,” on WordPress: “We can begin anywhere, any time, with anything because everything is equidistant from what is important, and everything will lead us there if we live with our eyes open.” Our eyes aren’t open if we cannot change our mind aboutContinue reading “August 11-B, 2022”

I have walked through American wonderlands with a camera. I can’t think of a better epitaph. And, since I’m not going to have a tombstone, or be buried, but drift on the wind like the spirit blowing where it will, you can do me the favor of carrying my epitaph with you in my memoryContinue reading “August 11-A, 2022”

Wait for the door to open, then walk through. But this is not as passive as it sounds. The Colorado River waited for the Grand Canyon to open for thousands of years, and all that while, it was forcing its way through desert rock. Water waits in a strange way. Be like water in yourContinue reading “August 09-B, 2022”
