I hope I spend my remaining years like I have spent my recent years. Which is to say that things are fine as they are. Content. Comfortable. At peace. Or, as the Buddha might say,”Peaceful abiding, here, now.”I may have plenty to be anxious about with Trump at the helm,but it’s quite out of myContinue reading “March 24, 2025”

Carl Jung said, “We are who we always have been,and we are who we will be.”And he also said, “There is within each of us,another whom we do not know.”And it is our place to be who we arein the time left for living.For me that can only mean spending copious amounts of timein emptiness,Continue reading “March 22, 2025”

Truth is a perspective. Actually, an opinion. Temporary, distorted and subjective. Presenting, not only a point of view, but also exposing what some interested party has to gain or is afraid of losing, and revealing what they have at stake in some future outcome, inviting examination, inquiry, investigation, along the lines of “Who? What? When?Continue reading “March 21, 2025”

Spring comes when it needs toand stays until it’s done.Spring knows its business and tends it. I wish people worked like that. And stayed out of the way until needed.

Wild things have been accommodating civilizationfrom the beginning of civilization. So we give the refuges and preserves.Until oil or goal is discovered there,and then we put up fences. Sometimes we build land “bridges” over interstate highwaysto accomodate migration routes,and sometimes not.It is not wise to get in the way of progress.And how many species areContinue reading “March 19, 2025”

I am delighted that I got my going days done when it was time for going! It is a good thing that I did not wait until now! Grocery shopping is about it these days, which leaves me with time to re-process images I took in my not-so-long-ago, and to consider how much the daysContinue reading “March 17, 2025”

I understand that astronomers are discussing a new theoryproposing that our universe is contained in a black hole that is contained in another universe. We may live in stacked universes and black holes, perhaps infinitely deep, broad, expansive. Everything we think we know has to be re-thought. Meaning we have to come to terms withContinue reading “March 16, 2025”

Drop out, drop in is the recipe for balance and harmony on the heaving waves of the wine-dark sea.Dropping out of the here, now with its noise, clamor, chaos and terminal insanity, and dropping into emptiness, stillness, silence to regroup, recharge and recover is the most brilliant strategy ever devised for reorienting ourselves, regrouping andContinue reading “March 15, 2025”

Native Americans have been experiencing atrocity, cruelty and inequity since 1492. And People of Color have been subjected to it for as long as there have been white people.Without recourse, protest, renunciation, repudiation. They just had to take it. For centuries.This is beyond redemption, recompense, amends and compensation.This is a horror we have to bearContinue reading “March 14, 2025”
