Frasier Snowden said, “The only true philosophical question is Where do you draw the line?” Human beings invented line drawing, apparently without knowing what they were doing, raising questions the natural world had never considered. Establishing boundaries, creating borders. One of the Old Testament’s commandments that did not make the top ten is my personalContinue reading “February 11, 2026”

We are waiting it out with the Trump reign, with no relief in sight. Oppression and absurdity take their toll, with half of the country cheering it on and the other half reeling under the weight of another day of the madness. Justice is meaningless with Trump in control and ICE on patrol, and votingContinue reading “February 10, 2026”

These are from 200 Zen Thoughts #3 on my WordPress Blog: 086. In living aligned with ourselves we will be living in sync with the Tao, Psyche, in doing the right thing in the right way at the right time in the right place. But. There is a catch. We will not be doing whatContinue reading “February 09, 2026”

We wake up each day to the adventure of seeing what the day has in store for us, wondering what awaits. Unless we are bound to a daily schedule, a monthly regimen, a sacred yearly routine we call “going to work.” In which case, we have to live around our obligations, duties, requirements, looking forwardContinue reading “February 08, 2026”

We belong to the time and place of our living. We are not here on vacation. We have duties and obligations in line with bringing ourselves forth, being who we are and doing what is ours to do here, now in each/every situation as it arises. What needs to be done? What needs us toContinue reading “February 07, 2026”

This is 058 of “200 Zen Thoughts #3 by Jim Dollar” on my WordPress Blog: The power to be who we are lies latent within us all awaiting our waking up to the truth of our own being and living in ways that are aligned with the thrust of our own heart and soul. TheContinue reading “February 06, 2026”

Donald Trump is an evil man. He thrives on the pain of others. And has gathered around himself a cadre of people who thrive in an environment of hatred, ruthlessness and cruelty imposed upon a wide range of people who share one trait: They are not like Donald Trump and his co-hearts. To be different,Continue reading “February 04, 2026”

We do not need theology! We need only to drop into the silence (Emptiness, stillness and silence are one thing, not three. Naming one of them implies the other two). We can drop into the silence anywhere, any time, and breathe three slow, deep breaths, and step back into the life we were living throughoutContinue reading “February 03, 2026-B”

We live our life in the service of having our way and getting what we want. Why not? What alternative is there? All life, every living thing, throughout the Cosmos lives to have its way and get what it wants. Flip it to not have our way and not get what we want. We wouldContinue reading “February 03, 2026”

We learn util we die because we forget what we know all along the way. The guides who lead us have to be long on patience and short on disgust to stick with us and see us through to our final breath. They have my deepest gratitude and appreciation for their work which provides theContinue reading “February 02, 2026”

It matters how we live our life.It matters how we treat one another.Babies matter.Children matter.People matter.It all matters. What we do and leave undone.What we love and what we hate, despise, detest matter.And it is up to each of us to live as though it is so.To live as though life matters.Even though Donald TrumpContinue reading “February 01, 2026”
