A New World
The mind travels the distances inclined toward new worlds. Here infants are preparing for what will be their new home. For now, difficult it is to chisel new worlds; the breaking of rock, the scraping of stone of encrusted thinking. Not here, but elsewhere the new beginnings will foster new dreams. No longer to be…

Some Sayings
The heart will determine what the head sees. And put into the eyes the meaning of it all. Times are now the adults need more rearing than the children require. It appears Heaven is an earned order and until one approaches the place where admission is qualified, one cannot enter. To gain understanding a lot…

The Loving Place
A home, a hearth the loving place that nurtures the fragile psyche, granting each the right to perceive the universe as is his to perceive.

Where The Heart Is
Are you connected to your home? Would removing you from it remove you from your memories, to what you have learned, to what you love not because of how it looks but because of what you have invested? A wandering brother once said that he never felt like I did and he had lived in…

Look For Me
I live my life in a dimension of no space, in a dimension of no time and in an era of no choice. I skirt perimeters of knowledge, inserting by intention an idea. You are my intension and my idea. Are you proud? Are you grateful for the time and place of your insertion? Do…

There Is A Place
When I posted on this blog a letter I had written to the Professor of Theology and Philosophy in 1991, I mentioned Robert Nozick’s book called The Examined Life (published in 1989) and the possibility that we might be in the creation business as apprentices.
