I give credit to the experience of emptiness, stillness, silence (One thing, not three) over time to be at the place of experiencing frustration without being frustrated, for example. This is the way of experiencing a situation without being consumed by the situation. We can observe a situation and be immune to the situation. ThisContinue reading “May 21, 2026”

I wish I could be there with the Sunday River in Newry, Maine until I was ready to be somewhere else. What this image means to me is peace, silence, quiet, solitude, etc. All of which I take to be the solid gold foundation and the essential necessities of life. But. For the most partContinue reading “May 20, 2026 – B”

I don’t see prayer as having an impact on anything in the cosmos. If prayer worked there would be no cemeteries, or hospitals, or poverty…and so on forever. What does work is emptiness, stillness and silence (One thing, not three), being here, now, present with, and conscious of, what is present with us, here, now,Continue reading “May 20, 2026”

Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Gatlinburg, Tennessee Knowing what is called for in each situation as it arises, being right about it, and doing it is all that can be asked of anyone, ever, throughout time. Even if they don’t believe in God. Even if they don’t believe they ARE God.

Comparing theology with Psyche, Intuition, and Tao: Theology says: “Truth comes from outside you.” Psyche says: “Truth arises within you.” Intuition says: “Truth is recognized by resonance.” Tao says: “Truth is lived, not believed.” What do WE say?

Here is one way of thinking about life without theology and with Psyche, Intuition, Tao: Theology says: “Truth comes from outside you.” Psyche says: “Truth arises within you.” Intuition says: “Truth is recognized by resonance.” Tao says: “Truth is lived, not believed.” And the question becomes: What do WE say?

My idea of love, as in “I love you,” is no expectations, no requirements. I have come to this point by being told, “I love you,” by family members from birth to the present day, and those older than I am had plenty of expectations and requirements, my father especially. Out of that ages longContinue reading “May 07, 2026”

All we have to work with comes down to ourselves and our good looks, each other, our collective ingenuity and Psyche, Tao and Intuition. That’s all there is when we plop out of the womb, and that remains all there is throughout the time left for living. You might think that Psyche, Tao and IntuitionContinue reading “May 06, 2026”

The secret of photography is to be there when the picture is no matter what the price. That is the only thing that sets photographers off from people with cameras. Everybody has a good enough camera these days. But everybody is not there when the picture is. And these days, I am not there whenContinue reading “May 06, 2026 – B”

The Maine woods are special places to be. I wish I could wish myself there and avoid the hassle and agony of actually traveling there. Traveling and I do not do well in my advancing years. It is “noisy” in the sense of being an utter disruption in my life, as you know well fromContinue reading “May 05, 2026”

My newest eBook is up on Kindle and it will cost you $2.50, less than a cup of coffee at Starbucks. And it will be well worth your time. It can be read as the end of Christianity as we know it, and the beginning of LIFE as it can be. No kidding.

The Parable of the Prodigal Son trumps Original Sin. Jesus told the Parable of the Prodigal Son to flip the fundamental religious assumption of the day and the foundation of Jewish religion, and religions world wide, that God was angry with the entire human race and that it is the burden of humans throughout everyContinue reading “May 04, 2026”
