This bird knows what it is doing, where it is, what is going on. This bird knows what its business is and is about it to the fullest extent of its being. Would that we could say the same things about ourselves. My associate pastor and I would ground ourselves by asking, whenever it wasContinue reading “December 16, 2025”

Jesus died at the hands of The Establishment embodied in the High Priest Joseph Caiaphas who saw Jesus as an enemy of the High Priestly way of doing things. The Buddha died from eating poorly cooked pork (How enlightened was that?). Both Buddha and Jesus were living their life as they thought their life neededContinue reading “December 15, 2025”

Finding and living out of our center, our core, our foundation is the essence of integrity and the guiding principle of our life. Is it Me, or is it Not-me?

Don’t have a plan! By all means, do not have to have a plan! All thought out from every angle, the brain child of reason and logic, carefully crafted and put into place.

I understand my role to be in the world as a witness–to see, hear, understand, know, what’s what, what’s happening, what is called for, and what is to be done about it, here, now, and to do it, when, where and how it needs to be done, in each situation as it arises, all myContinue reading “December 12, 2025”

The solution to being perennially happy is to stop wanting things to be different than they are. Or, better, to stop wanting. What did wanting ever do for us anyway? When we come out of the womb, we have everything we need to find what we need to do what needs to be done. WhatContinue reading “December 10, 2025”

We tend to go where the job takes us and income is the directing factor in our life most often. Jesus and the Buddha cared nothing about money. The Buddha walked away from certain King-ship and Jesus was of the opinion that “The love of money is the root of all evil,” and “It isContinue reading “December 09, 2025”

There is always something to come to terms with. It is relentless and unending, our being asked/required to grow up some more again today. It appears to be a plot against us until we look closer and see that the trend can be linked directly to our addiction to wanting, desiring, having to have. ItContinue reading “December 08, 2025”
