We wait to see where it’s going, what to make of it, what to do. Everything shakes out by and by, clarifies, comes into focus. In the meantime, we wait. And watch, and listen, taking it all in without judgment or opinion. There is this, and that, and those things over there, but what needsContinue reading “July 12-A, 2022”

We surprise ourselves from time to time, with the right action done in the right way at the right time in the right place, even when nobody notices and life clicks right along. Clicking right along is the point. The wrong thing– particularly the really wrong thing- would have made an impact, rocked that portionContinue reading “July 11-B, 2022”

We are here to figure out what we are here for and how to achieve it. We start with finding our original nature and our innate virtues, and then think of avenues we might explore for applying our gifts/daemon/shtick/knacks/interests/etc. in the service of what needs to be done, when, where and how it needs toContinue reading “July 11-A, 2022”

The life we are living needs to evoke, enable, serve our original nature and the innate virtues that are ours from birth.

It’s tricky. We have to know what we are doing, and we have no idea of what we are doing, so we have to know that we do not know what we are doing, and focus on knowing what we know. We have to know what we know in each situation as it arises. Discounting,Continue reading “July 08-C, 2022”

01 We have to know what is required of us and be right about it. And do it. We are not free to do whatever we want with our life. We are obligated to live according to, aligned with, in accord with, our life’s idea for itself. We have to know what we need toContinue reading “July 06-C, 2022”
