We are capable of things we cannot imagine simply by relaxing into ourselves and opening ourselves up to each situation as it arises, allowing the situation to call us forth in the service of what is called for here, now. The old Taoist ideal of doing the right thing, in the right place, at theContinue reading “August 15, 2025”

This adventure of writing a daly reflection has opened before me as an exploration of myself and our (corporate/universal) need for this kind of exploration/realization/awakening/ enlightenment worldwide. Everything will do that if we let it.Everything is a portal, a port-key, a threshold to ourselves if we have the courage/luck to see what we look at,Continue reading “July 21, 2025”

This is the most bleak Fourth of July in my experience, and this is my 81st experience. The Constitution is out of vogue. The Bill of Rights is a laughter. The majority of the Supreme Court asks Trump how he wants them to vote. We have a king on his throne in the White House.Continue reading “July 04, 2025”

Silence steadies us and stabilizes us, grounds us and points the way. When Jesus said, “Pray always,” he was saying “Live out of the silence.” The silence is also emptiness and stillness. The three are one, like the Holy Trinity, and they connect us with all that is holy, and lead us to living livesContinue reading “July 01, 2025”

The best thing we can do for ourselvesis to be quiet in a routine and regular way.When Jesus said, “Pray always,” he meant, “Live out of the silence.”In the silence, we are in the presence of What Has Always Been Called “God.” The silence is the bridge between worlds–the world of conscious reality and theContinue reading “July, 2025”

Making a montage of the wisdom outlets of history produces a “single story” of what it takes to “right the world” over the course of several lifetimes. The elements required read like a spiritual recipe for “the right life.”High on the list are integrity, sincerity, authenticity, but I find the most revered quality is beingContinue reading “June 23, 2025”

Finding our niche and our schtick and our hangouts is finding ourselves. Which makes me easy to locate. I stand out like a snag on a mountain ridge. I am peculiar that way. And not particularly accessible, which is the driving idea.On the other hand, I’m eager to talk to anyone about the things IContinue reading “June 09, 2025”

Think of this image as theology broadcast to thousands of people of a scene that never existed anywhere in real, actual, time.In real, actual time, the tree in the middle is the only one that is real and actual. At the time I took its picture, it lived across the street from my house inContinue reading “June 05, 2025”

What do we want from religion? Eternal life? Invisible assistance in having our way/getting what we want? The old Taoists sought to align themselves with the Tao or Wayin order to assist/participate in the flow of life and beingby doing what was called for in each situation as it arose–doing the right thing, in theContinue reading “May 12, 2025”

I’m into helping people establish and maintain their balance and harmony. It’s like this: The frequency of the planet we call earth is 430 Hz, or Hertz for long. And that is about the frequency of Baroque music. And of our bodies at rest. And of the meditative AUM (Or OM). And the closer weContinue reading “April 11, 2025”

There is projection and there is association, and they may be the same thing. One thing I project onto this image is that Donald Trump would not find anything attractive about it. My projection is that he would hate it. It is not his kind of place. My projection is that he is attracted toContinue reading “April 05, 2025”

We have to make sense of our life. Who are we?What are we about?What are we doing here?Where are we going?What is going on?We are gradually waking upover the full course of our life,and yet, we are constantlyputting ourselves to sleep with the hypnotic repetitionof what we have been toldof the corporate story of ourContinue reading “March 31, 2025”
