As you sit with this scenewhat stirs to life?What memories come to mind?What associations do you make?What feelings surface?What moods are generated?I grew up in scenes like this one.Riding/driving past winter lakes and ponds.In the country of the Mississippi Delta.Isolation but not loneliness,more of a somber source of reflection,waiting for the world to warm upandContinue reading “February 10, 2025”

Finding our way to The Wayis as simple as getting out of the way.We do that by not having a way,but letting things be as they areuntil the mud settles and the water clearsand a sense of direction arises spontaneously within,intuition guiding us to a path to the pathwhich is also the path.Emptiness is notContinue reading “February 09, 2025”

What are we going to do now?Is largely a matter of waiting to seewhat’s next.We spend a lot of time waiting to see what’s what,and then doing what needs to be done about it,and waiting some more.That is my preferred way of doing business.Allowing the day to carry me where I need to be,doing whatContinue reading “February 08, 2025”

Except for the Trump Showthings are fine.But even that is day to day.So, in the meantime how are things?I developed sciatica two weeks agoand have been trading emails with my Doc about progress and development.Today has been the best so far,managing the grocery store and the showerwith mild to moderate difficulty,and am looking forward toContinue reading “February 07, 2025”

All those “family dynamics” that we will never get to the bottom of,but, only if the truth were known,colors every facet of all our lives.Don’t we wonder though?What hidden events shapethe life we each have lived,and world events unnumbered?Was the “Virgin” Mary raped by her father, for instance?Or the man next door,or down the street?TheContinue reading “February 06, 2025”

When the truth sinks in regarding the bloodless coupthat has taken over the United States Government,and grocery prices do not go down, what then?When total dysfunction becomes apparent in the utter absence of Governmental services,and a hurricane hits,or an earthquake,or wildfires,with no emergency management agenciesto respond to recovery needs,will anyone catch on to maybe TrumpisContinue reading “February 05, 2025”

Finding what is ours to doand doing itwhen, where and how it needs to be donein each situation as it arisesis asking a lot of each of usall of the time.But it never gets more difficult than that.What is your “thing,”you know that thing that you dothat you do bestand love to do most?All ofContinue reading “February 04, 2025”

We are likely to grow weary with the situation at hand.Day after day of indelible stupidity mascaraing as The President of Unsurpassed Wisdom, Leadership, Greatness and all Marvelous Thingswears thin fast.Even his fans will soon be yawning.Maintaining our enthusiasmWill be like a life sentence on Death Row.Where do we go for solace and consolation?I dreamedContinue reading “February 03, 2025”

Some things we have to live with.Actually, it is a LOT of things!And our ability to do that flowsfrom our patience with things as they are.Rick Rubin says, “Patience is developedmuch like awareness. Through an acceptanceof what is.””Here we are, now what?” is the attitudethat saw us from the caves to here, now.”Now what?” WhenContinue reading “February 02, 2025”

The way of wild thingsis always what it needs to be,how, when and where it needs to be.Wild things do not interferewith what needs to happen,with what is called forin each situation as it arises,by inserting their own agenda,plans, wishes and desiresinto the mixand insisting on their way NOWregardless of the impact and outcomes.It tookContinue reading “February 01/ 2025”

Time moves on,what are we going to do?Whatever is called forin each situation as it ariseswithout interfering with what needs to be done,when, where and how it needs to be done.This is called doing our part,and keeping up with the timesthat are at hand!

We will never outlive the shame of Donald Trump.Or the horror of the voters who elected him being proud of him.How could this come to be?The Whigs became the Patriots,but the Tories were always anti-democracy.Remember that from the beginningthere have been those who hated democracy.And have been working all this time to bring to bearContinue reading “January 30, 2025”
