Nature’s Final Lesson: The House Always Wins
Until now, we have always recovered. We have embraced the folly of our choices and trusted that when we were done, the nurturing world would still be there; that we would find new footing in a familiar, reliable place and move on. We trusted that when we had wreaked our violence against each other and other living forms, all would return to normal as the ... Continue Reading >>
Death: Vibration of the Unspeakable
This exploration is a fuzzy one. It is disjointed, lurching from one thought to the next. As I begin, I have no idea where it will end. I only know that now that is not the time to distrust a process of Life that has been there for me for the last 40 years. As I begin, I know it will take me where I need to go. For many, many years, I have focused my ... Continue Reading >>
Deep Dive: Day 10 – The Next Inhalation
Here’s what I have discovered about myself in this 10-day writing process. It is clear to me that I am here: To agitate. I have no memory of ever being other than that as an expression of Being. Even in the innocence of no intention, simply being my Self was agitating to those around me. So be it. To leave no conversation unengaged. Whether it is ... Continue Reading >>
Deep Dive: Day 5 – Fluidity of Truth
I woke up with a start at 3:30 am. And now, as I approach 5:00 am and am still awake, the message is clear to me: get up! Stop thinking about engaging and just engage. And so, here I am. I’ve read and re-read your responses many, many times. With each pass, I am attuned to my own experience of myself through the read. I recognize certain things about ... Continue Reading >>
Deep Dive: Day 3 – Provocation
There are no accidents in the intelligent Universe that is my reality. I started my day by listening to Yuval Noah Harari in conversation about the two most important skills for the rest of your life. As I listened, two significant distinctions emerged for me: the boundaries between mind (the Signal of the I AM that I am) and body (the exquisite, organic ... Continue Reading >>
Locking Eyes with The Beast
When we separate ourselves from our creation, we lose all capacity to affect its unfolding. We created this - and to pretend otherwise only leaves us at the mercy of this unclaimed/orphaned manifestation. In that, we lose ourselves into the victims we believe ourselves to be and are swallowed up by our own powerlessness. I offered that thought many years ... Continue Reading >>
Finding my tribe…
Perhaps, if we can find grace in our own mortality, we can find courage in our day-to-day expression of Life. One of the great benefits of ‘retirement’ is a redistribution of time. Same number of hours in a day - different allocation of how I embrace them. So often, I would be frustrated by the many, many books, articles, videos, podcasts, etc. that I ... Continue Reading >>
To Share or Not to Share: that is the question….
I choose to stay informed. In particular, I choose to stay informed about climate change, AI development and the transhumanism movement - my top three on a much longer list. In addition, bits and pieces of ‘life’ drift in and out of my awareness. These include local events in my community, what my friends and colleagues are up to, the lives of my sons and ...
