If I could only remember everything I’ve read throughout my life, what wisdom I could spout now. Unfortunately my memory spits and sputters like an asthmatic lawnmower engine proving it has just enough spark to announce important potential to the situation at hand, but not enough cranking power to keep the entire thought moving forwardContinue reading “Memory As Such”

Standing in the Stream
During summer’s heat, if you don’t mind getting your feet wet you’ve likely stood at least one time in a gentle stream and allowed the cool running water to casually flow over and around your feet and lower legs. There where the current is mild with water tickling your ankles and calves as it envelopsContinue reading “Standing in the Stream”
Not So Magical After All
Let’s see, about a month ago I wrote about Winter Magic, but also mentioned that by mid-January it was the opposite. How prophetic. And where we live in Iowa we aren’t even the worst temps and/or snows throughout the nation. Come on 2024—you’re better than this!
Remember the Mountains and Valleys
“When you start to feel like things could have been better this yearRemember the mountains and valleys that got you here They are not accidents and those moments weren’t in vain.You are not the same You have grown and you are growing.You are breathing , you are living.You are wrapped in EndlessBoundlessGraceAnd things will getContinue reading “Remember the Mountains and Valleys”
Acknowledging Ourselves
We exist. We ARE. We live and die, and somewhere in-between the two, we learn. WHAT we learn depends on so many factors such as our living environments, our support teams on earth and beyond who protect us and nurture our growth, and that soul spark within us that drives us forward toward some unseenContinue reading “Acknowledging Ourselves”
The Mysteries
Sounds like an exploration of the ancient Greek mystery cults which were of great interest to me earlier in life, but instead what I’m referring to now are fiction crime novels written by skilled wordsmiths. There are many authors in that CRIME MYSTERY genre and darn few that are truly gifted at writing. And IContinue reading “The Mysteries”
Clarifying Our Intentions
It’s easy to spend most of our waking hours following a mindless pattern of habitual behaviors. Everyday we have to do this or that, or get up at a certain time for jobs or kids, or exercise classes, etc. These are the habits that define our lives. They are like guard-rails on a highway overpassContinue reading “Clarifying Our Intentions”
“Summarize Yourself”
While reading a fiction book from the library, one of the book’s secondary characters, a gifted but older, acerbic author asked the main female protagonist some penetrating personal questions. She was the local academic community’s phenomenon—a young, doctoral-physic’s ‘coding’ genius who was attempting to computationally define the prime equation string for high-temperature super-conductivity. In theContinue reading ““Summarize Yourself””
Transcendence
“…In religious experience transcendence is a state of being that has overcome the limitations of physical existence and by some definitions has also become independent of it. This is typically manifested in prayer, séance, meditation, psychedelics and paranormal ‘visions’….” (Wiki) *** When we are born into this world many say that we are born asContinue reading “Transcendence”
Depth Plunge in Minutiae
As a jig-saw puzzle fanatic I can obsess for hours over a thousand random puzzle pieces spread across a card-table waiting for sense to be made from it all, because to me it’s a challenge and perhaps a metaphor for LIFE. What makes ‘the sense’ part you might ask in a puzzle or in LIFE?Continue reading “Depth Plunge in Minutiae”
Reality Challenged
Yesterday for some reason my head was all over the place and suddenly I was recalling a visual scene ‘memory’ from a TV show or a movie, so I watched it vividly replay in my mind; then I stopped and thought, “No, wait…that wasn’t a show or a movie that I saw that in, itContinue reading “Reality Challenged”
The Intelligent Ocean of Consciousness
“The laws of nature are but the mathematical thoughts of God.” – Euclid Nassim Haramein *** Pretty sure I’m referring to Akasha again but in a different way here. This illusive concept is hard to get your head around: that this ocean of space and seeming non-substance in which we exist is itself alive, justContinue reading ” The Intelligent Ocean of Consciousness”
