I stand on tip-toes and lean just-barely-not-too-far-out from my perch, anchored by one hand gripping the trunk, the other shielding my eyes from the light. I glance around and wonder where I'd be and what I'd be doing if I'd climbed onto another branch of probability radiating through my life; how different would reality appear to be had I not let this branch remain entwined with yours? … [Read more...]
Escape Walk away Burn bridges Let it all go You're not needed in this as much as you think One step away shifts your transfixed path Disappear Release Run Drop the death grip on your self On who you think you are And who you want to be Open to the possibilities Of emptiness Openness Space Allow nothing to replace The depth and breadth Of Nothingness And then expand that Until inner space Transcends outer space Let the mind empty and clear Find solace in … [Read more...]
I do not believe in god nor all the applications and attachments that come with him, but yet, I still visit my father's grave and light a candle in a church on his birthday. Occasionally I even speak to him just to speak to him, launch a "hello" into the space where foolish men say hovers a heaven, knowing no reply will ever come, nor wanting one.

At some point the thief saw the man and dashed out of the house. In the commotion the homeowner opened his eyes and saw that the thief had dropped a bowl from his sack.

The first time it happened was in the early 1990s. I had been a daily newspaper writer in Missouri for about ten years, and I was toying with the idea of making a career change. I set up an interview at a school of traditional Chinese medicine in Santa Fe and, before I knew it, I was throwing my bags in the backseat of my VW and heading down the road to New Mexico. As the miles passed behind me, I thought about how I needed a change in scenery, about how rewarding it would be to help people … [Read more...]

While we are focused on spirituality, ascension, awakening, deepening, enlightenment and higher consciousness, well, sometimes life gets in the way, doesn't it? It would be nice if we could just be in a constant state of Nirvana or Samadhi and never have to come down to Earth and do anything mundane, right? It would be nice if we didn't have schedules to meet and physical tasks to do. No such luck being a human, though! This is still a hands-on reality, and things don't get done by … [Read more...]
