Jesus was all about salvation–but not as it is presented to us.Salvation rightly understood is about dying to the right thingsthat we might live in the service of the right things. And who is to say what is right?Meister Eckhart, who was probably–in my opinion–murdered before being sentenced for heresy in 1328, said,”The final leave-takingContinue reading “May 29, 2025”

Being here, now is being nowhere else but here, now.How long can we be here, now?What is with drifting away?We drop into here, now,and we drift away.And we can drift constantly.What holds our attention?What do we dwell on?Desire? Dread? Fear? Anger? Anxiety?Where do we go when we are not here, now?How often do we frequentContinue reading “May 28, 2025”

I want you to join me in a pactto no longer allow our personal gain,benefit, profit, advantage to govern our choicesand direct our life.We are no longer in it for what we can get out of it.Instead, we are going to live in the service ofwhat is called for in each situation as it arises,devotingContinue reading “May 27, 2025”

Courage for the work,heart for the task at hand,rising to meet what’s comingin seeing what’s whatand doing what is called forin each situation as it arisesin the service of our original natureour inherent imagination,and our intrinsic intuition,one day at a time,beginning here, now.

I have faith in my intuitive abilityto know what’s what and what is called forand what needs to be done about it,in each situation as it arises–not by thinking about it,but by not thinking at all,and simply trusting myself to drop into the emptiness-stillness-silence, waiting for knowing to arise on its own accord from theContinue reading “May 25, 2025”

I have recently updated my eBooks on Amazon Kindle, “The Tao of Jesus V” and “A Handbook for The Spiritual Journey II.” I enjoyed writing, and enjoy reading, both books, and am sure I will not do better in what remains of my time left for living.This Trump mess sullies what remains of my time,Continue reading “May 24, 2025”

Taking stock is a meditative practiceof dropping into the emptiness-stillness-silenceon a daily basis throughout the day,to tune in, turn on and realize what’ what,here, now, and what that calls for,and what needs to happen in response,when, where and how,align ourselves with the direction and flowof our life all day long.

I miss the Bog Garden. I lived about a mile awayfor about 13 years,and moved away in 2013.And don’t need to go back.I’m funny that way.That was then, this is now.I don’t go back.One of my favorite idiosyncrasies.Which I do not understand,but I recognize and honoras a “Me Thing.”It is Who I Am.There are thingsContinue reading “May 22, 2025”

Doing things well is not doing things perfectly.Perfect is a steady state of being–and is a matter of opinion.All perfect things are surpassed in time.Decay is perfection’s archenemy,and always has the last word.Doing things well is the artists’ aim,and the individual artist is the only one who knowswhen “well enough” has been achieved.Leaving us withContinue reading “May 21, 2025”

My heart breaks easily these days. The weight of life perhaps,or the anguish brought on by the flippant mannerof MAGA and Trump and their disregard for the sacrednature of this country and the values it has stood forfrom its founding only to to be dishonored, dismissed,disregarded and sold to the highest bidder. And they haveContinue reading “May 20, 2025”

I don’t care what happens when I die,and I cannot imagine why it matters.Here I am, now what? Is the only question that concerns me.What is being asked of me right here, right now?What am I being called to do?If I can get that right,and do what needs me to do it,when, where and howContinue reading “May 19, 2025”

I play a game with myselfwhere I invite God to live my life.I disappear and my projection of God takes over.I can become absorbed in the role,and enjoy seeing/doing things from the standpoint of my idea of God.It definitely uplifts my game.I encourage you to give it a go.See how your idea of God wouldContinue reading “May 18, 2025”
