Meister Eckhart (1260-1328) said, “The last leave-takingis leaving God for God.” Eckhart was a German Catholic who was found guilty of heresy and died (perhaps murdered) before his sentence was served.

03 Living aligned with our life and living in accord with the Tao is bringing our best to meet the day, like water seeking its way, not forcing its way, by responding appropriately, at the right time, in the right way, to each situation as it arises. That sounds simple enough. What makes it difficult?Continue reading “January 20, 2021”

03 When the Commander in Chief assumes no responsibility and incites riot and rebellion, the Commander in Chief has to be relieved of duty. This is fundamental “how to do it” procedure.
