We are paying the price for electing Donald Trump, and will be paying it for the rest of our life. This train wreck won’t fix itself, put itself back on the tracks and chug along to glory in our life time. We are on our own. It is up to us to put our lifeContinue reading “October 28, 2025”

Our personal authority extends to cover a wide range of matters, internal and external. A lot of us claim personal authority over how our hair is cut. I don’t push into that area, and say, “Whatever you think I deserve, when sitting in the hair stalest’s chair. There is generally some light-hearted back and forth,Continue reading “October 27, 2025”

Living out of the silence (emptiness/stillness) enables us to be mindfully aware of the place of wanting and caring about the wrong things plays in our day-to-day, and how regularly our thinking revolves around things that have no connection at all with what the present situation is calling for and what would be the mostContinue reading “October 26, 2025”

Dropping into the silence to be present with what meets us there is a life-long strategy for living open to what’s what, what’s happening and what is called for here, now. In the silence over time, we avoid the distractions/diversions/smoke/dust/haze that prevents us from being here, now doing what needs to be done, when, whereContinue reading “October 25, 2025 – B”

Our frame of mind makes all the difference. Fragility or stability hangs in the balance, depending upon our frame of mind. Change that and everything changes. We are as steady andconfident as our point of view permits.All of which is to say that the MAGA mind set is far from confident and self-assured. It isContinue reading “October 25, 2025”

The line between “Reformer” and “Heretic” is too fine to be seen. It doesn’t exist. It all depends on how we see what we look at. Jesus was a reformer who was executed as a heretic by the Romans at the request of Caiphas, the High Priest of the Temple in Jerusalem. And the doctrinesContinue reading “October 24, 2025”

We are back to where the old Taoists were with Lao Tzu and the Tao Te Ching in the neighborhood of 600 years BCE, with living to be in sync with, aligned with, in accord with the movement, the rhythm and flow, of life and being.The fundamental/foundational recognition/understanding is that there is a right wayContinue reading “October 23, 2025”

When we toss theology and doctrine, all of which was invented by the Church of Rome during the 400 years between Jesus’ crucifixion and the closing of the Canon, with the Church coming up with the catchy slogan, “This is what Jesus did for you and you are going straight to hell if you don’tContinue reading “October 22, 2025”

Tranquility/serenity/peaceful abiding here, now. Which is the gateway to seeing, hearing, knowing what’s what and what is called for and doing it when, where and how it needs to be done in every situation as it arises all our life long. The older I get the less respect I have for theology and doctrine andContinue reading “October 21, 2025”

When the President of the United States decimates and disregards Democracy, it is because the people who elected him no longer believe in Democracy themselves. When over 50% of the people who voted in the last election do not believe in Democracy–do not treasure, honor, esteem, venerate, serve and celebrate Democracy, we have become asContinue reading “October 20, 2025”

The meaning of a thing, anything, everything, is what it means to someone, everyone. There is no intrinsic meaning anywhere in/to anything. It is all imposed, projected, imagined. When someone declares, “It’s all meaningless!”, they say it as though the meaninglessness of everything is very meaningful to them. It all cannot be meaningless if itsContinue reading “October 19, 2025”

Getting our feet under us and stepping into each day as the day needs to be met is a simple matter of having the essential elements in place and following the routines of orienting ourselves in emptiness, stillness, silence to the point of peaceful abiding, here, now, and being clear about what’s what, what’s happening,Continue reading “October 18, 2025”
