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”

01 There is only returning to return again and again. Because we live in a world of noise, complexity, and 10,000 things, and it is an easy thing to lose The Way, follow our desires, run from our fears, labor under our duties and obligations, wander from the path, and have nothing to do withContinue reading “September 05, 2021”

01 We find what needs to be done, not by thinking, not with reason and logic, morality and ethics, but by looking and listening, by seeing and hearing, by sensing and intuiting, using instinct and imagination. “Waiting for the mud to settle and the water to clear” is time spent sitting quietly, welcoming the stillnessContinue reading “September 04, 2021”

01 I don’t know how we know what we need, and what we have no business being around– and I don’t know who does know. It is but one of the Great Mysteries of life and being. We shut ourselves off from all of them. We have no time for mysteries, great or small. WeContinue reading “September 01, 2021”

01 We like our heroes to be without vulnerability. How heroic is that??? You couldn’t help being a hero without vulnerability! Anybody could be Jesus as God’s only son. Try it without those super genes! Different story. And while we are on that story, what is it about God demanding the sacrifice of (his) onlyContinue reading “August 05, 2021”

01 Get fully vaccinated and wear a mask! It’s like wearing a seat belt. It’s like wearing a shirt and shoes when you go shopping. It’s like not smoking in restaurants and shops, etc. that prohibit smoking. It’s like driving on the right side of the road. It’s like stopping on red and going onContinue reading “July 30, 2021”
