The flow between how things are and how things need to be is the sine non qua for life in the Cosmos. When the flow is in sync between Mover and Moved, all is in harmony, balanced and at peace. At the far extreme, there is discord and division, chaos and dismay upon “the heavingContinue reading “November 12, 2025”

Peace, serenity, tranquility, silence, calmness, equanimity… offsetting the noise and dust of the world. That is the role I have claimed for myself from the beginning. Which I take to be the case with all peacemakers everywhere throughout time. It is who we are. How we are. Why we are. “Peaceful abiding, here, now.” IsContinue reading “November 11, 2025”

This is the remnant of an early rice plantation that could not compete with new varieties of rice and different ways to grow it, and the Civil War. What is civil about war? Is that not ridiculous? Absurd? Shameful? Disgusting? Are we not disgusting as human beings across time, around the world, throughout the Cosmos?Continue reading “November 10, 2025”

Energy, enthusiasm, vitality are the life force at work throughout the universe. Where do we go to experience those things? It will be different for all of us individually, yet we will naturally draw together in communities around similar experiences. Put a NASCAR venue where this pasture is and I would have been somewhere else.Continue reading “November 09, 2025”

I like the theory put forth by all of my shipmates that consciousness is the source and ground of all things everywhere. That we are the means consciousness uses to become self-conscious, that is conscious of itself. That consciousness experiences itself through our experiences. And that when we die, nothing dies, as in ceasing toContinue reading “November 08, 2025”

“The observer cannot be separated from the observed.” Where does experience stop and projection start? We see everything from the standpoint of “the way we see things.” How we see things makes things as they are. And we live in relationship with things and people as though they are the way we see them. AllContinue reading “November 07, 2025”

Who are we? What are we about? We have to take Remembrance-Recognition-Reorientation breaks from time to time to regroup, recharge, and get back on the beam. It is easy to lose our way amid the complexity and confusion of the day-to-day. There is so much coming at us from all directions, it is easy toContinue reading “November 06, 2025”

I invite you to take up the practice of dropping into the silence (emptiness, stillness) at various points throughout each day without interrupting what you are doing. This is a simple matter of doing what you are doing while being intently aware of opening yourself to HOW you are doing it.Attend your attention and yourContinue reading “November 05, 2025”

MAGA is the self-designated moniker of a gang whose primary identifying feature is the complete absence of anything resembling maturity of anyone embracing the title.Fascism and White Supremacy describe immaturity perfectly throughout the ages. There is not a grown-up in the group, though there are plenty of people old enough to be confused with one–exhibitingContinue reading “November 03, 2025”

Fitting what we love to do into each day gives us something to look forward to every day. I love to be surprised, and the days are always calling for unexpected responses to unexpected events, so I look forward to what the day has to offer that I didn’t see coming, wondering where I willContinue reading “November 02, 2025”

Magic is real. Mystery is everywhere. We only have to step away from our agenda to know that it is so–and to experience being swept up in the experience of being alive to the life that is waiting for us to live it, instead of striving to force ourselves into a life we have noContinue reading “November 01, 2025”
