The Garden of Eden did not exist. Adam and Eve are not real people. The story is about the danger of wanting the wrong things, of caring about things that do not matter. It is a great story.

What holds us together?What makes us One?Kindness and compassion come to mind.Psyche and the ideas we share in common. Good faith in/with each other,and the desire to be soulmates along the way.”Good faith” for me means the willing/willful intention to be who we say we are.Integrity, sincerity, authenticity.Beyond that, the Void. No?I participated in aContinue reading “September 02, 2025”

Being who we are, where we are, when we are, how we are is integrity, being expressing/exhibiting being.Integrity comes easy with rocks and oceans and things that have no choice in the matter. A bumble bee just is. The universe is crammed with things that are what they are and can’t help it or doContinue reading “Fall Months, 2025”

The old Taoist ideal of doing the right thing, in the right place, at theContinue reading “August 15, 2025”

We all are Psychic marvels, as is every other physical thing in the Cosmos. Psyche is the source of everything. And, if we are wondering what the point of it all is, the whole point is just for the joy of it.
