  • Pieces Enlarge the Understanding. . .

      When one has knowledge, one also has the obligation. ***** God is a word most people stop at because the mind balks at its meagre knowledge to proceed. ***** To not remember to lock the vault leaves it to be burglarized. Or easily opened at best to remember without those whose presence would have…

  • The High Jumper. . .

    It has been said with anger that I set the bar too high for mere mortals to scale. It was not for them the bar was set but for me, to rise as high as the immanent god had deemed for me. I could not know that they would try   to jump for me.…

  • Worry. . .Still An Advanced Skill. . . .

    I Am Sorry, but it takes smarts. . . . When I hear the words hitting my soft spot with a why should I worry?  You do such a good job of it! I want to be mean and snarky and say we would still be crawling on our bellies if we did not have…

  • Favorite Aphorisms. . .

      Favorite Aphorisms. . . We are the cabbage and the rose at once.  Earthy and ethereal at once. ***** Memories are the bridge to the future. ***** To go over the same road again and again, until the pain as well as the joy no longer overwhelms, requires tough love. ***** Life was not…

  • Time Is Now. . .

    Events of this past week have shaken us all. Time is now that changes will be evident.  Time is now that much will be demanded.  And the young whose memories now of the violence that has taken their friends and innocence will demand restitution and behavior that comes with adulthood. The children shall lead us. …

  • The Journey Begins. . .

      (When asked often lately, how to survive as a mystic in today’s secular world, sometimes the questions just need a repetition of previous work.  I edit for space.) Previous entry the Teacher speaks. . . When your mentor, the Nazarene,  thought man should be accountable, he did not wish for man to keep coming…

  • Differing Perspectives. . .

    There are those who close their eyes to what it is they see because they know what they see will contradict what they choose to believe. ***** The look of innocence is the state of shock.  That level where the soul has rested, the mind has stopped pursuing and spirit dares not delve deeper. *****…

  • When Words Wound. . .Evolution Halts. . . .

                                                                                 Words Wound. . . Evolution Halts. . . Children are wounded when they first tell a truth that is uncomfortable or embarrassing to their audience.  And no doubt it is a much loved parent the child is excitedly telling something. But realizing they are saying something hurtful or worse laughable when the child speaks…

  • A Divine Surprise. . .

      You know what I was thinking I asked my younger this morning.  He grinned at me and one arm  with hand out flat swooped over his head and then bent to the floor palm out.  It meant to me that my explanations are hard to understand.  I laughed. I was only going to say…

  • The Mind’s Residual. . . .

    The Heavens open momentarily and close but the glimpses from the views linger and haunt one forever. **** The Self wills but the human spirit cannot be legislated.  Statistics are meant to sell beer. ***** It is not the Mystery of Life which stunts man and does not beguile him to further thought.  It is…
