The key, I am finding, is listening. The 'answers', if you call them that, the clues, signs, signals, guides, are everywhere. We just need to pay attention, to listen. I've had another test to my own faith in navigating through yet another (what I call), creative 'funk'. You know what I'm talking about, surely. [...]
We'll be redeemed. We'll be reunited. We'll be challenged tomorrow. We'll be surprised and delighted this next year. We'll wish we'd held back. We'll wish we'd bounced forward. We'll get more than we want. We'll not get enough. We'll feel misunderstood. We'll feel like a rock star. We'll feel heart breaking disappointment. We'll be surprised [...]
News alert to my psyche...hope (the context I know) is dangerous. I'm sitting with an awareness this morning of what a therapist I used to 'hang out with' called, 'the hungry ghost'. This ghost, to me, is the one that holds on to some belief, some aspiration of change, transformation, illusion, (mostly in others) [...]
This line of thought came to me today. It's a good thought. Consider your assumptions. I'm looking at mine. We really don't know so many things...why people do what they do, who really is watching over us, loving us, in the seen and unseen, why events in our life occur the way they do. I'm [...]

I watched a typical Hollywood-esk movie this evening with my 'caretaking' friend....we've watched a few during my recouping time this week. I was struck (again) at how narrow our vision of 'reality' or 'truth', 'a truth' or 'belief' is [...]
I have been sleeping a lot during my eye surgery recovery and dreaming. I dream a lot anyway....while awake and especially when asleep. Maurice Sendak's characters are tame compared to what show up on my inner HD widescreen. I've also had time to stop the normal fast spinning ferris wheel of my life for a [...]
(I wrote what is below two days ago.....and tonight I'm laughing at the absurdity of it all).... We are all much more capable of embracing life than we know. I'm a bullet today.....a BB bullet. I am aimed and entirely on target. It had to come eventually. The option of 'losing' is as [...]
...it's how what you're doing AFFECTS you that matters. Where are activities, beliefs, people, your 'story' a decoy to what is true in you?? Holding secrets, (not the kind I was referring to in my last post), or being true to who you really are, being less than real to yourself, or the ones you [...]
