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”

We live into who we are. It is easier with support and encouragement, but even without it, there is something in us that craves expression and needs us to champion its cause against all odds. We have to find our voice and sing, or find our rhythm and dance, or find our wings and fly…Continue reading “August 09-A, 2022”

This is an excerpt from “The Nature of Spiritual Reality I,” from my book, “A Handbook for the Spiritual Journey” on WordPress: All knowing is tentative, conditional, specific to this here and this now, and things are always shifting, changing, calling for something different in the next here and now, or the one after that.Continue reading “August 08-C, 2022”

No highs, no lows. “Hold her steady as she goes.” There are no steady states of being, so we opt for the next best thing, keeping the wobbles within a normal distribution curve. This is the meaning of, “The hills and mountains will be made low, the valleys and the swamps will be lifted up,”Continue reading “August 08-A, 2022”

Silence is a lost art and the primary source of realization. Things occur to us out of the silence. We can ponder the solution to a problem for days and take a shower and there it is with a clarity and certainty that leave all questions answered. Or we can wrestle with what to doContinue reading “August 07-A, 2022”
