Many believe that past actions are indicators of a similar future yet to be. I disagree. I think that the past only informs the present; while present actions portend the future. You have a choice every moment of every day to slip into past behavior repetitions or to shift into a new mode of being—aContinue reading “The Past Is the Future’s Predictor—True or False?”

Thank You Matt
For some strange reason reading this post from Matt Moberg (actual painter of the above image) tamed my intense inner agitation and reminded me of a William Carlos Williams poem “The Red Wheelbarrow”: The Red Wheelbarrow by William Carlos Williams – 1883 – 1963 “ so much depends upon a red wheel barrow glazed withContinue reading “Thank You Matt”
Life Inside the Asylum
Dear Outside World, I feel the need to share our group experience from living here inside the Asylum. My fellow inmates (excuse me, ‘patients’) are in various states of dissociation, disassociation, and distress—commonly called the ‘3-D’s’ here. Most stumble and mumble about their days saying thing like: ‘I can’t believe we are living through this,”Continue reading “Life Inside the Asylum”
‘Feeling Concerned’ Is An Understatement
I resist commenting on political antics as much as possible, but this post captured the genuine concern most of us share. It is real. It is happening. And it is just a matter of time before it can no longer be ignored by those around him. *** “Oregon’s Bay Area is feeling concerned. · D____Continue reading “‘Feeling Concerned’ Is An Understatement”
You Are the BOSS of Your Reality
We are all just filaments of light penetrating the darkness surrounding us. I think Nicky Hamid states it poetically below how to use your light strand’s ability to shift your reality from darkness to illumined clarity: *** “While the world of human affairs appears to be going to ‘hell’ in an unstoppable downslide, you areContinue reading “You Are the BOSS of Your Reality”
What Is Civilization?
(Pardon me for reusing this graphic above (from “It’s Been Strange”), but it is so amazing and pertains to the questions below, that I couldn’t find a better one.) The questions continue: What is the difference between a ‘civilized’ society and an ‘uncivilized’ one? How can you tell the difference? How do individuals function togetherContinue reading “What Is Civilization?”
NOT Okay
In today’s world there is a whole lot of “NOT Okay!” out there; and at present that is to be expected. It would be MORE concerning if people were unaffected by the sheer insanity and extensive brutality of the today’s world leadership. To be clear here: You are normal. They are not. That is anContinue reading “NOT Okay”
“You Stand in Sacred Motion”
I’ve noticed lately a flushing of old memories seemingly unprompted; and that always makes me suspicious of what is actually happening not just to me, but likely to everyone and to everything around us. Where memories trigger feelings—old emotions—sometimes pleasant, sometimes not, rise to the surface for reexamination offering us an opportunity to glean wisdomContinue reading ““You Stand in Sacred Motion””
The Fixer
Yesterday I was walking around our pasture and hay field (10 acres) and asking myself WHY I think of myself as ‘A FIXER’ in general. I have such a broad background in so many different aspects of life, that I am what might be considered a ‘handy-person’ who can FIX all sorts of problems aroundContinue reading “The Fixer”
Inflection Points
‘Inflection point’—the point in life where everything changes for you—where your life situations suddenly go from up to down or down to up and you never consider them quite the same way you once did prior to your instant shift in attitude. Some might call it the ‘saturation point’ where we can no longer absorbContinue reading “Inflection Points”
Choosing Your Path
For many the thought that you can choose your path is a foreign concept. For them life paths are chosen without their input or willingness. Some may call it fate. Some might call it karma. Some will know it only as oppression. For those of us who DO believe that we have a choice inContinue reading “Choosing Your Path”
Stare Into the Illusion
“If you stare deeply into this illusion, something hidden will slowly rise from the shadows… something that was always there, waiting.” Jahaziel *** Hmmm. Is it an eagle, a chicken, or Pegasus, the winged horse? Or did someone just barf their lunch on the sidewalk? Not sure. I guess the point of it is thatContinue reading “Stare Into the Illusion”
