01 We settle ourselves into our life just as it is, and live there just as we are. And that is all there is to it. So, of course, we will have nothing to do with it! “NO!” we say, “NOT THIS! THAT!!!” And we are off into contention, and confrontation, and competition, and disgust,Continue reading “November 04, 2021”

01 Lao Tzu, the Buddha, Jesus… the list is long of people who spoke the truth and had no impact upon the spirit of their times. The spirit of their times is Tao gone rogue. Call it Anti-Tao. It is balancing something. Goodness, truth, kindness, mercy… Too much of that and things go over intoContinue reading “November 03, 2021”

01 Sitting still, being quiet, emptying ourselves of fear, desire and duty, waiting, watching, present and awake, we allow our life to find us and invite us to come to life. Being alive comes with strings attached. It is not the life of anyone’s dreams. Everyone’s dreams are bigger than life. “They will never stayContinue reading “October 31, 2021”

01 Making the best of what we are handed in a day means letting a lot of it go. Betrayal? Let it go. Neglect? Let it go. Abandonment? Let it go. Humiliation? Disappointment? Defeat? Etc.? Let it all go– in the strength of our own resiliency and resolve, grounded upon our unshakable faith in ourselvesContinue reading “October 26, 2021”

01 The Way of the Butterfly is The Way of us all. It cannot be spelled out, mapped out, explained (He said, explaining that it cannot be explained!) defined, told, said, outlined, made clear… Butterflies come out of the chrysalis knowing how to do what they do. How to get where they are going. HowContinue reading “October 25, 2021”

01 Jesus raised the dead and left the dead to bury the dead. Jesus cursed an innocent fig tree for not having fruit out of season, and forgave a woman guilty of adultery. Jesus said, “Come to me all who are heavy-laden, and I will give you rest.” And he said, “Depart from me! IContinue reading “October 19, 2021”

01 The silence has to be filtered, mined, for its gold, but if something is missed, it cycles back around. Waiting and watching are all it takes to see and hear, realize and understand, know and do and be aligned with the truth of our life at last. We can speed things up by havingContinue reading “October 17, 2021”

01 Our place in “the great scheme of things” is to recognize and maintain the proper working/living distance between ourselves and our life. This is to say that we are to take everything with the degree of seriousness that it deserves– and it deserves that which is warranted by the situation as it arises. WhatContinue reading “October 11, 2021”

01 It is our place to be sure that our actions are in the service of balance and harmony, and not in the service of the forces of destabilization. Sex, drugs and alcohol are the top three most popular choices in the service of destabilization in the name of seeking balance and harmony. “Just aContinue reading “October 10, 2021”

01 We all have things we care about and things we care not about. We are set apart and defined by those things. What do you love? What do you abhor? There you are! Even the Dalai Lama has those on his “Don’t Like To Be Around/ Don’t Like To Do” List. Here is theContinue reading “September 16, 2021”

01 When we outlive our usefulness, we fall back on our interests and curiosity. Without interests and curiosity, we look at the wall and await our last breath, with nothing more than breathing to keep us alive. This makes maintaining and developing our interests and our curiosity, the primary tasks of the final stage ofContinue reading “September 14, 2021”
