It comes down to, flows from, amounts to, shakes out as, nothing more than hermeneutics. Hermeneutics is interpretation. Perspective. Attitude. Comprehension. Understanding. Enlightenment. Seeing what we look at. Seeing how we are looking at it. Knowing what’s what, and what is called for in response to it, and what that means for us, personally, hereContinue reading “August 19, 2023 – A”

I’ve sold all of my proper camera gear and will take the photos I take with my cell phone, and spend my time going through 70,000 + images on compact disks to see what I can find hiding there. It has been apparent for a while that this was necessary and inevitable. I could noContinue reading “August 18, 2023 – B”

Who is better off because of you? In what ways? How does your generosity and kindness, compassion and grace, manifest themselves in the lives of others? In the life of someone else? Who do you think about other than yourself? Who are the people who are safe in your presence? Who do you care for?Continue reading “August 17, 2023 – A”

How we see what we look at, how we look at what we see, determines, or strongly influences, what we do about what we see/look at. What are we serving/seeking, trying to do, hoping to achieve, avoid, get to, go? What makes us think it is worth doing/having? What is worth our time/attention? How doContinue reading “August 15, 2023 – B”

We cannot fix/change/improve/etc. anyone without their permission. Psychotherapy comes to grief upon this. And yet, we all grow up against our will. If we grow up at all. And yet, we do change our mind about what’s important. So we keep saying what is so and letting nature take its course. I wish I hadContinue reading “August 15, 2023 – A”

There is only changing our mind about what is important until things click into place and we know we are right about it finally at last and accord it its due place in our life with fealty, filial devotion, allegiance, and loyalty throughout what remains of the time left for living.

There are two terms– dissonance and resonance– that can be experienced but not taught, known but not learned. They have to do with vibrations between a body and a force with dissimilar (with dissonance) or similar (with resonance) vibrating frequencies.

We feel our way into our life. Practice doing that by feeling your way into what you wear tomorrow, and feeling your way into what you eat for lunch, and into all of the decisions/choices you make that are not forced on you by circumstances.

We live our way to enlightenment/ realization/ understanding/ knowing/ being/ doing… We don’t think or way there. No one can tell us how to do it beyond, “Practice, practice, practice!” Practice what? Listening to/looking into emptiness, stillness, silence. Listening/looking for hints/expressions/exhibitions/revelations of our original nature and the innate virtues/traits/specalties that reside in our DNA, seekingContinue reading “August 11, 2023 – B”
