What We Do For One. . . no lost causes. .
Sometimes there is need to repeat a post. When this was first written it was because I felt that my efforts were strictly one sided. And then I realized that many worked under this yoke and it was time to see the greater picture. And this is a must. Our boundaries or focus are limited…

Revelation. . .
The question is asked: What do I confront when I turn to my concept of education? That education is a thing of the heart and Spirit and no learned institution can impart what is necessary to complete this life. That all bards and philosophers knew that Cosmic Consciousness of the individual was what they talked…

Barroom Floors. . . the divine implications. . . .
Barroom floors and spittoons. . . . Oftentimes we are thrown onto ourselves to sink or swim. It may be a crisis at work, of illness, family or an unexplained malaise within us. We then must use inner resources simply to keep on keeping on. When conditions change, we look back and much to our…

The Endeavor True. . . . .

The Years The Locusts Have Taken. . . .
More Compensation. . . In my last posting I wrote that in Life there is a balance. Emerson called it compensation. I have found this to be more than accurate. For me it has been a personal matter of Life giving and I receiving. And to receive, I must be open to what is…

Compensation. . .
There comes a time when even the simplest body language speaks to one and one has to listen. It is not an easy thing to do, this confrontation, but it requires some thought. It is easy to anger, but a dumb thing to do. And I try hard not to be dumb. But looking with…
