Just keep scrolling... and find a more accommodating place to land. You will not find that here, today. And truth be told, perhaps any other day in the days to come. Things have changed... and so have I. I find myself wondering: What is the point of a personal blog if there is no room for the embrace of an authentic and long-lingering rant? So... just ...

Transhumanism: A Walk on the Wild Side
Whatever we face, there is always a version of it and then a lighter version. The degree to which we are both willing and able to tolerate an assault on our existing structures of beliefs/values/attitudes (i.e. reality) will dictate which version we choose for ourselves. Personally? I have always preferred the deep end of the pool. Given this particular ... Continue Reading >>
The Long and Short of it All
As a child, I may well have been described as ‘precocious’ and ’strong willed’. Never one to agree to anything just to appease, or to embrace pretence for peace over discovery (despite the likely chaos to follow) I was also considered by some to be ‘difficult’ (translation: a pain in the ass!). Truthfully? Not much has changed. Now in my 70th year, my ... Continue Reading >>
How can I tell?
Seems that when the Spirit moves, so do the fingers…… There are two things that occupy much of my Life these days: my family my willingness and ability to choose meaningfully and mindfully. The first - my family - is an easy one. I spent decades away from my family, doing the things that ‘had to be done’ to make life manageable. In far too many ... Continue Reading >>
The More Things Change…
I originally wrote the article on which this post is based in 2011. I could have written it this morning. (The original article can be found here.) I find myself neither hopeful nor hopeless, but pensive... even relaxed... as I continue to trust that I am, always have been and will continue to be the creator of my own experience and its corresponding ...

Climate Change: 4th Level Collapse
From a CODE Model™ perspective, I look at the world I share with more than 7,000,000,000 other humans (not to mention all of the other expressions of Life, in its many, varied and mesmerizing forms) and I know that we, as a species, are at the precipice of 'evolve or die'. What I also see is that we are in the throes of a 4th level collapse, with 2nd ... Continue Reading >>
Whispers from Within: Day 10
Good morning! Here I am on Day 10: The first day of the rest of my life. I think of the completion of this cycle of enquiry as the end of a long, steady and deep inhalation… of my Self. Now, I pause… and in this continuing cycle… I enter into the long, slow and deep exhalation as I choose to live my life as an expression of the integration that now ... Continue Reading >>
Whispers from Within: Day 9
Good morning! Day 9: the penultimate, in this journey of inner exploration. We are almost complete, ever mindful that we can begin anew anytime we choose. There is never an end - only pauses along the way to live out discoveries and re-awaken the desire for yet another deep dive into the unclaimed possibilities. How does it go? The purported Chinese ... Continue Reading >>
Whispers from Within: Day 5
Good morning, All! Today, I feel the wrenching. And the truth is: sometimes, when something has been fixed for so long, the wrenching is required for it to be dislodged. A very, very old wave activates as I notice an inner voice speaking to me, in the timbre and cadence of a much younger me, chastising that I have gone too far. That I have asked too ...

Whispers from Within: Day 3
Good morning, All! The dawning of Day 3 and already, it feels as if we have been here for weeks! Clearly, I am in the right place, at the right time and with the right people. With every thought you share, my own expand. The awakening of internal cues is palpable. As I read, I am aware of the great courage that it takes to dive so quickly into the ... Continue Reading >>
