Taking the initiveis sitting still,being quiet,and seeing what arisesin the silenceto call our name.It is not rushing aheadwith an action planand a time tableto achieve our goalsand realize our dreamsof fortune and glory.How we respond to the dayunfolds the wayfor those not demandingtheir way NOW!But the way specifically designedto bring us forth,relying on our originalContinue reading “January 02, 2024 – A”

When I think about what we have doneand are doingto make things worse instead of better,I have to stop thinking.Left alone, nature does a fabulous jobof taking care of nature.Our idea of better is always More Money!We can make More Money if we do this,and that,and that, and that…Native Americans got along just finefor 8,000Continue reading “January 01, 2024 – A”

Meeting the moment as the moment needs to be metand doing there what needs to be done there,is not as simple as it sounds,because self-interest gets in the way.Do we live for selfor do we live for the moment?Adam and Eve answer for us all.Theirs is such a wonderful expressionof the human condition!What a story!TheContinue reading “January, 2024”

Yes and No are poles between which we live.We can tell which we preferby how often we use them.Do we say “Yes” more than “No,”or “No” more than “Yes”?We are what we say “Yes” toand what we say “No” to.”Yes, I can!”””No, I can’t!””Yes, I will!””No, I” won’t!And more important than how often we sayContinue reading “December 31, 2023 – A”

I invite you to take up the study of silenceby way of experienceand inquiry/exploration/interviews/investigation/experimentation…Find out everything there is to know.Become an expert on silence.Let me know what comes of it.My hunch is that it is as closeto the Numen/Numinous/Transcendent/Ineffableas it is possible to be,and the ground of being.But, research is necessarybefore we declare it toContinue reading “December 28, 2023 – A”

We can relax in ourselves,trusting ourselves to knowwhat needs to be donein response to whatever happens.Clarity and direction areof the momentwhen we thrust ourselves into the silence/stillness/emptinessfrom which we comeand into which we are goingand in which we live.All good things are found thereby those who know and trust it to be so. –0–

To be free from doubtis to be free to doubt.To be free to doubtis to trust our abilityto deal appropriately with anything that arises.The gift of the Elder Wandis to free the wizardfrom the need of having the Elder Wand.To stand alone as one thus comein any situation as it arisesis to have what weContinue reading “December 26, 2023 – A”
