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 do not see things as they are. We see them as we are." - Talmudic Proverb Ahhhhhh says me as I transform a funk into a lotus flower. Why? Because I can! One must ALWAYS leave room for an opening! And FYI.....In Hinduism and Buddhism the lotus flower symbolizes awakening to the spiritual [...]
When we forget....there is just no simpler way to put it. Forget or perhaps revert....to old ways that just don't work anymore. It's like getting stuck in the gutter lane when bowling....you're cruising along just fine and then suddenly your tire hits the berm, and oooooh, you lean to the left hoping it won't get [...]
Twelve years ago my world flipped around, me like a cat in a dryer....a sturdy Maytag, adament on keeping me tumbling for some time.... Twelve years ago my mom died.

This ghost, to me, is the one that holds on to some belief, some aspiration of change, transformation, illusion, (mostly in others) [...]
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 [...]
...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 [...]
Curiously the number of readers of this blog are growing and I'm this morning wondering who you are? Where do you come from, what sparks your fancy? I'm readying for an adventure....in about a week and a half, an adventure different from the day-to-day adventures that fill my life. I'll be going away....it's a secret [...]
