The Trackless Path

We have grown lofty. We have lost the sense of what we need, We don't even know how to define it Accept in terms of debt: the monthly payment So that a man amounts to the quantity of debt that he can shoulder. And most groan under the weight of it. But instead of erecting something new, We reach out toward the American Dream. And what is the American Dream? To free ourselves from debt By heapi...

Perhaps we are all trying to be BIG. And that keeps us from doing anything SUBSTANTIAL, Because SUBSTANCIAL work is long and tedious.   It is LABORIOUS. It is a GRIND. It is not a FLASH in the pan. It is not TWO SCOOPS of Kellogg’s Raisin Brand. It is not BIG. It’s not the SUPER BOWL. It is CEASELESS, TIRELESS, and sometimes PROFITLESS work. All for the sake of what? The BOTTOM LINE?   No. But for...

I bring myself back to work. I want to stop. But I keep going. I want to lessen the load, but I persevere. Steadiness and consistency are what I am after. And all of that sounds so trite, Like a motivational speech. But finally, I belive I am ready to hear. I could not find a reason to try When it was all for money. But now it fits.

This is the Beggar’s Bowl, The weekly edition of my podca                                                                     Wherein I highlight one financial principle of the new life And beg for spare change. Follow your best impulse. Let it lead you into your most authentic interests. Sacrifice for the sake of finding the truth that you were meant to promote. And then use your means to spread...

Your life is not what you think. Thank God! And you have less power to change your fate  Than you might suppose. But that doesn’t mean that it is nothing. Kindness is never wasted. And love, though it be measured out by imperfect hands Into undeserving vessels Is still love. And after all of that, Who knows what faith can do. Because faith in God is more than you. And that is the thing that intere...

It is better to renounce life Than to believe that something can be gained by coming back. You will never figure it out By turning and returning And you will never secure the ones you love By human love. Only by letting go to the will of the divine That leads to renouncing all For the sake of an unseen world Can we move on from the endless cycle Of trying to figure it out.

About a woman I met on the street corner... Crippled All crumpled up. But still doing her job, her sign out. A shopping cart - she holds the side  And with her other hand, she grasps the cane. And wobbles. And the cars pass by. “Where are you going miss?” I ask. “Do you need some help?” And for a moment, she forgets, And I point to the sign. It has flopped over “Oh yes,” she says.  “That’s right.”...

Sometimes it is the abundance of choices that gets in the way Because we believe that there is a right choice, A perfect way. But there's not. The heart thing is the way. The intent is the thing that matters. And if the heart is right and the choice is wrong That will sort itself out. It will self-correct with time and experience. And the idea that we must get it right before we start Only kee...

Nature will have its way sooner or later. Is it possible to live in harmony with nature?

Rev 2:5 - Jesus can take away your candlestick

If we would create a better world, we must imagine it into being.

A spoken poem.

There will come a great leveling. What has gone up will eventually come down.

A true story about a small divine deliverance.

In part 2 of this 9-part series about the patriarchal, I discuss more fully the differences between the Patriarchal and corporate structures. The patriarch, the father, serves the children. Whereas the CEO feeds upon the children.
