I enjoy the times between times, when nothing is called for and everything is “steady as she goes,” and we all can enjoy the simple pleasure of breathing and knowing that we are breathing and can listen between breaths for whatever joy or realization makes itself visible for its own joy, perhaps, and life delightsContinue reading “October 17, 2026”

“Poverty with a view.” Spoken by a waitress in Jackson, Wyoming, bordering Grand Teton National Park who lived fifty miles away and drove to work every day because she couldn’t afford a place to live where she worked. The same thing would be applicable to most of the national parks, and state parks, everywhere. TheContinue reading “October 16, 2026”

We find our pace and our place, figure out where we belong and where we have no business being, know what we enjoy and what we can do without and spend our time with the things that are right for us, letting it all come together and pass as a life well done. I amContinue reading “October 15, 2026”

Looking for what is looking for us is the lifelong search for what needs us to do it here, now. We know what’s what here, now, but we don’t know what’s next. That is entirely “Wait and See,” hoping we will know it when we see it. Which is where intuition comes into play inContinue reading “October 14, 2026”

Knowing when to draw the line and knowing where to draw it are the two most important qualities in human beings. Every other characteristic pales in comparison. And how do we know? This question ranks right up there with, “How do we learn how and when to swallow?” Practically every living thing knows how andContinue reading “October 13, 2026”

We live for the joy and the wonder of being alive. Forget getting/having/getting what we want, and simply be amazed at what a miracle this life is. This world we live on is astounding and we rarely notice it or bother to be “peacefully abiding here, now.” But, the splendors, they are a plenty. AllContinue reading “October 12, 2026”

If someone asks you if you believe in God, ask them for their understanding of the psychological mechanism of “Projection.” And in response to whatever they say, ask how that might apply to the word, “God.” My point being that there is nothing to the word “God” that is not projection.

One of the eternal wonders of being human is that we never get it all said. Every realization is but the beginning of a new search for the next realization. The way to the Way never end. “Oh! NOW I SEE!” is just another step on the way to seeing all there is to see.Continue reading “October 10, 2026”

I like wandering around, seeing what’s there. It’s a different way of looking out the window, only I can stop and take a picture. I drive through a lot of poverty that way, and I imagine a lot of lives I am glad are not mine, and I grieve for those living them. I haveContinue reading “October 09, 2026”

I have chosen to forego scenes like this one for the rest of my life. To take these images I have to be where the images are. In two months I will step into my 83rd year and the zeal for the journey, any journey, is long past. So I look through the old imagesContinue reading “October 08, 2026”

People are God the way waves are the ocean. How are we to go about being God? How are we to make the fact that we are God apparent and real in our life? How do we bring God forth in our life? We take this as our foundational problem into every day, and doContinue reading “October 07, 2026”

I am perennially amazed to be here, now. How did that happen? How did I get from there, then to here, now? What were the chances of that happening? The same thing applies to you and your life. What are the chances that you would be reading this here, now? The odds were definitely againstContinue reading “October 06, 2026”
