There is a wonder beyond explanation. And it awaits us. Our attention and our presence. This wonder is not a place, nor a time, nor a thing. It isn’t a feeling, or a thought. And most certainly not a dessert…As wonderful as they are. This wonder is beyond imagining. It is the unique Geometry of every Sound. Which reveals the signature of the cosmos. It is smaller than a dust mote. And grander than...

After years of positivity and healthy thoughts and behaviors, I find myself in a massive temper tantrum filled with all the SHOULD NOT's!    Soooo.... my positivity was and is a bit premature, and forced, and hiding the truth. But, like a good ole volcano, the TRUTH outed itself - and surprised ME!

"You won't die until you learn to live with Joy in your heart." I continue to live by these words, words which were spoken to my heart many years ago. My journey to live with boundless, lasting Joy has been long, challenging, and enlightening. True Joy is boundless, beyond any bound or measure...and everlasting. I have far to go, but go I will. Always. 

A watery musing which flows from Carl Jung's synchronicity to the iChing, to Will Farrell and Harper Steele's long-time friendship and recent Netflix documentary, to the non-gendered energy of this realm, to the gendered manifestation of the energy of this realm. Or maybe not? Anyway it goes, this is the best I understand Life today. :) ** Music: A Clean Soul by Kevin MacLeod

During my morning meditation, it became very clear to me that my True North is not a destination, not a place, a person, a job, an event, an experience, a completion, nor beginning. It is a way-of-being. Always being. Always adapting, always responding, always...being. Just like this beautiful barometer from my ancestors. 

My journey continues as I deepen in self-responsibility, hear the hard reflections of my self-righteousness from my amazing children, and experience self-trust as discomfort. 

3 Life Questions with the lovely David Freed, who shared his wisdom of compassion, purposefulness, and the unending need to clean-the-house! As we all know!

Joy is NOT a feeling, nor a sensation, nor an experience. It's the constant undercurrent of all Life...just waiting to for...YOU!

The first chapter of my book! Wahooo! It's short, but it took a long time to write, to fit a lot of cryptic riddling information into a few words. That's how this narrator wants to speak, wants to teach you, the reader, and me, the "writer"! I'm just a conduit!

My current experience of Time and Space as both parents, a womb, and separate fabrics of reality that we connect through our thoughts, speech, actions. 

I'm realizing that I've skipped important steps in the process of becoming... one of them is truly honoring my experience, honoring it as one with has equal validity to any other(s) experience. Even when my experience is far from the masses mainstream acceptable cultural societal familial 'program'.

How do you balance eternal scales?  TThis is the question I heard in me after witnessing live court proceedings at my most recent hearing. I muse about this experience, and this unanswerable question, in this early morning episode revolving around Choice and Free Will. Do they exist?

I'm sitting on the floor, musing, rambling, processing, sharing, - all beautiful and chaotic and unknown and priceless - talking about my mom, in relation to me, and all manner of other things which arise! Love to you all - always.

This is a short intro to a book I wrote in 2020-21 about the Seven Deadly Sins, which were once called the Eight Temptations. In this book, I explore the challenges of each of these Deities by allowing Humans to attempt to 'overcome' their desires/attractions. My explanation here is DRY, the book is far more involved and exciting! Look for a reading of the first chapter by my son.

Even when Life doesn't go my way, or I'm not sure if it will, or I'm afraid it most certainly won't, or that 'you' won't like me, love me, value me, or whatever, I am finding the choice to be true to myself very powerful, and full of lessons, over and over and over. Such lessons learned by my choice! Good Luck on your True To Self journey!
