I have recently added “The Tao of Jesus” to my list of published works as an eBook on Amazon Kindle, and it should be up there in the next two or three days. I’ll let you know when it becomes available there.

Every New Year is seeing through the trees dimly,hoping for the best,so we say, “Happy New Year!”to encourage ourselvesin facing what’s coming,like it or not.I take heart in knowing,not what’s coming,but who is facing it.That would be us, all of us.And we have what it takes to do wellwith whatever comes our wayduring, and beyond,Continue reading “January, 2025”

Finding the wayis waiting to seewhat is called forand doing thatas it needs to be done,when and where it needs to be doneall the way along the way.If we don’t know what is called for,we wait for clarity.Everything flows from and leads to clarity.And it only take waitingto know what that is.This is the wayContinue reading “December 31, 2024”

We find the way by doing what is called for, when, where and how it is called for,and letting that be that.We become the way that way.Following the path we makedoing what needs to be done.And if we find that to be boring,we only have to waitfor something better to come along,and do what isContinue reading “December 30, 2024”

There are problems I can’t do anything about.Things like this reflectionmake that bearable somehow.

We hold the power of creationin/over each situation as it arises.What we make of it makes all the difference.What we say about it brings it to life.We speak/see reality into existence.It all–ourselves included–becomeswhat we say it is.Be careful with your words–you speak the truth into being.What we say becomes realin the act of speaking itContinue reading “December 26, 2024”

When we wake up,we do what needs to be donein each situation as it ariseswith the gifts that we have to serve and shareall our life long.Jesus did no more than that.Nor did the Buddha.Being who we are “as those thus come,”wherever and whenever we are,here, now.This is not difficult.It only takes seeing/hearing/knowingwhat’s what andContinue reading “December 24, 2024”
