Wandering around looking for somethingto catch my eye is my idea of really living.And I do it for nothing.I get nothing out of it beyond the joy of doing itand the satisfaction of having done it.The same thing applies to all the wordsI have ever written,and, likely, to all those I will ever write.Money isContinue reading “April 23, 2025”

Joseph Campbell said, “We cannot rid the world of its sorrows,but we can choose to live in joy.”We can think of this swan as drying her feathers. And, we can think of this swan as opening itself to the worldin a “You want some of this? Come and get it!” kind of way.And, she isContinue reading “April 22, 2025”

This is not a rational, logical, sensible universe.Life eats life.Except for black holes.They eat light. And everything else.I like the no beginning, no end guess,with energy neither being created or destroyed,only transformed or converted, meaning that we are all on the wayto becoming something else,and dancing with all that comes our wayin the meantime.”There isContinue reading “April 21, 2025”

We can think of the end of the world in a number of ways. Apocalypse is one way to do it.Drop enough atomic weapons,creating a “nuclear winter” and all life would cease to exist,ending the world for all living things.An esoteric could end the world for her-or-him-selfby taking a vow of silence and povertyand closingContinue reading “April 20, 2025”

Spiritual reality is numinous in the sensethat it can be sensed but not said.Physical reality can be weighed, measured, seen, felt,defined, said…I don’t know if Psychic reality is the same as spiritualor on a different level all its own.I lean toward different all its own,in that it can announce its presenceby splitting wood and knives,andContinue reading “April 18, 2025”

When Trump was running for his first term of office,I lived in South Carolinaand Lindsey Graham was stumping for Trumpnot far from my house. His most memorable line in that speech was,”I know he’s a rascal and no Boy Scout,but at least he won’t take our guns away.”His speech was not pro-Trump,but anti-Democrat.Nothing changes overContinue reading “April 16, 2025 – B”

The western landscape overwhelmed me. Canyonlands, Monument Valley, Mesa Verde, Arches, Yellowstone, Death Valley, the Tetons, Bryce and Zion, Yosemite, Mesa Verde, Glacier and Grand Canyon, and Crater Lake in the US, then Banff and Jasper in Alberta all left me with the feeling that I missed too much because it was too much forContinue reading “April 16, 2025”

There are people who take religion seriously.Qualifying them for a psychological diagnosis of delusional,if not schizophrenic.They sometimes hear voices and see visions,and frequently speak of “God’s will.”What starts out with them”taking things on faith,”quickly morphs into certainty and conviction,leading them to transform things they believeinto factual reality in no time at all.People who have beenContinue reading “April 14, 2025 – B”

We are on our own from the start,and our life is a reflection of–evidence of–the quality of the company we keep.We are walking/talking exhibitionsof who has influenced us throughout our life.We are who we hang with.From the books we readto the coffee we drink.When you look at us,you see where we have beenand who weContinue reading “April 14, 2025”
