How we see is a function of how we look, is a reflection of who we are, and a mirror of our soul. Soul is our deepest, truest self, carrying our values and our cherished ways of being in the world and expressing the truth of what we honor most. This photograph and all thoseContinue reading “December 28, 2025”

Having done it is it. No one living–no living thing–has done it without having toughed it out somewhere, if not all the way, along the way, and they get style points for having toughed it out with style and with grace and with Pizzazz along the way. Style points are icing on the cake. TheyContinue reading “December 27, 2027”

This is #40 of “200 More Zen Thoughts From Jim Dollar #1” blog on WordPress: In the New Testament, we get to pick our God, and there is a wide variety from which to choose. I’m going with the God who is like the prodigal son’s father: “You were lost and now you are found!Continue reading “December 26, 2025”

The Buddha under the Bodhi Tree is Jesus in Gethsemane and on Golgotha.And Dylan Thomas writing as his father lay dying, “Do not go gentle into that good night! Rage! Rage! Against the dying of the light!” The last one alive is still dying. The work remains the same: Rage! Rage! Against the dying ofContinue reading “December 25, 2025”

Swamp grass has nothing to do with Christmas Eve, and Christmas Eve has nothing to do with the war in Ukraine, or with why we all can’t just get along. Or why we all can’t be billionaires. Not that we could get along if we were. What’s the key to getting along? Growing up mayContinue reading “December 24, 2025”

We experience That Which Has Always Been Called God all of the time without acknowledging what’s what, what’s happening, what’s going on. It’s time to Tune In, Turn On, Wake Up And Get With the Program in an “Oh, THERE You Are, Peter” kind of way. We are looking for experiences with flow, synchronicity, coincidence,Continue reading “December 23, 2025”

The old Taoists sensed the Tao was/is an elementary aspect of existence, always here like time itself, and psyche. Three concepts with a timelessness about them. Time itself being timeless in the sense of being here/there always and forever, like the Tao, like Psyche, elements of being that “just are” in an always have beenContinue reading “December 22, 2025”

This is #22 of “200 More Zen Thoughts From Jim Dollar #1” on my WordPress Blog: We are capable of realizing/recognizing the Buddha in the Buddha and the Christ in the Christ. If we can realize/recognize it in them we can realize/recognize it in ourselves if we would but get out of our way andContinue reading “December 21 – B, 2025”

In two weeks I will step into my 82nd year, with no health problems to speak of. I hope I have twenty more years with no health problems to speak of. With Psyche/Tao to work on, I will have plenty to be interested in, so maintaining a healthy body/mind relationship over a twenty year periodContinue reading “December 21, 2025”

Intuition takes the lead in knowing what’s what and what’s called for in each situation as it arises, but. Ambition and desire trump–the way Trump trumps the good everywhere he goes–balance, harmony and the flow of life and being in the unfolding of life as it could be, leaving us with the ruins of whatContinue reading “December 20, 2025”

The natural world fluctuates around a “happy medium,” or “a bell-shaped curve” where daily things are mostly what they “always have been and what they will be.” Carl Jung said, “We are who we always have been and who we will be.” We belong to the natural world and are as it is, preferring stability,Continue reading “December 19, 2025”
