The right kind of conversation is one of my deepest joys–which leads me to wonder how Jesus would do as a conversationalist. And what were Jesus’ deepest joys. And I can easily jump from there to the above scene and wonder what associations you might make with it. Where does it take you? What doesContinue reading “July 04, 2026”

This is a photograph of my sister Susan Dollar several years before her suicide. She is standing in a window of a Creole house along Cane River in Natchitoches Parish, Louisiana. I had flown home to Natchitoches, LA, to visit my mother and her sister who was living with my mother, and Susan invited meContinue reading “July 03, 2026 – B”

Knowing what the moment/the situation/the here, now calls for and doing it the way it needs to be done, in each situation as it arises, with the gifts of our original nature, and our intrinsic intuition, and our inherent imagination, for the joy of doing it and the satisfaction of having done it, will restoreContinue reading “July 03, 2026”

I would love to re-play some of the scenes in my life. I wonder how many that would be, given the opportunity. The tricky thing about re-plays is that is where experience is created and experience is essential for other scenes that did not need a replay because of the preparation the re-plays provide.

There is only the experience of life, living, being alive. We get to choose the shape our experience takes, but noContinue reading “June 30, 2026”

When I sit thinking about what is called for and what I can do about it, ice cream often finds its way into the equation. Whenever it does, I am glad to oblige. I call it doing my part.

Knowing what is called for here, now, and doing it where, when and how it needs to be done in each situation as it arises is all that can be asked of any of us. Not what do we want? Not are we happy? Not what is expected of us? But, Is this what isContinue reading “June 29, 2026”

Albert Einstein held that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed or converted. Meaning, I take it, that death is not death, but transformation, conversion, resurrection, and the energy that is life goes on forever celebrating one form of existence after another, making the Universe/Cosmos, not a burial ground, but a grand party thatContinue reading “June 28, 2026 – B”

How about we settle for what’s what here and now? How about we let this be it? No more striving, wanting, having to have this or that or that over there? Just letting this be it? How about we just let this be it? At 2:00 O’clock this afternoon, I had two cups of coffeeContinue reading “June 27, 2026”

Maintaining our presence in the here, now is being aware of what’s what and what is called for by maintaining our balance and inner harmony throughout our present experience with the clashing rocks and heaving waves on the wine dark sea of our daily life in a “What’s new, we have seen it all before,”Continue reading “June 26, 2026 – B”
