Back from the mini-vacation.  Stayed with friends and got to know them even better.  Shared some very personal items from our youths that seemed to be common ground for several of us.  Interesting how some of the negatives that shape our lives are not as unique as we think there are.   Yes, the details […]

This place is supposed to be hot.  Whenever they report about it on the nightly news, it is over 90 degrees… often gets up into the 100s.  This morning, sitting in our friends’ kitchen, I’m wearing a sweater and keeping the sliding glass door to the patio closed because it’s so cold.  “Coldest day of […]

I have been very aware within the past several days of how certain things that I have been doing with the best of intentions can be interpreted quite differently by the person on the other end of the good intention.  I take this as a learning lesson and will add this to my self awareness. […]

It’s amazing the different views I can put on who ‘I’ am.  I can think of ‘me’ as this physical being, this piece of meat that has had all of these awesome spiritual experiences.  When I do, I think that I have work to do…. that I am not that important… that all I have received was […]

Went to the gym and swam in an attempt to keep this body healthy enough to house the mind for a few years longer.  It’s so much easier to get tired these days.  Another mass shooting this past weekend.   That stuff gets tiring too #22 The first question had to be… Who am I? […]

Quite a day.  Went to the Fellowship to hear about Integral Education from the president of the School.  It was an excellent and informative talk and I told him so, during the q and a.  However, I added, we both agree on every fact about Aurobindo and his isolation in Alipore jail except that you said “during […]

Yoga class this morning. We did some pranayama… working to one-point the mind.  Same type of thing these blogs are trying to do.  Also just ran into an article comparing Patanjali to modern science.  Yes… yes… yes… it has all been said before in different ways.  Trying to connect with the Oneness at the center […]

Big social day, today.  Lunch with a friend, then a couple coming over tonight for dinner, plus, a basketball finals and a baseball game on TV, plus entering my hospice visits from yesterday onto the computer.  When am I supposed to do any actual writing?  Do I have to? Obviously not.  It’s just something I’m […]

Too tired to write anything special today.  Here’s a verse from the Tao… #18 Dear friend… …we have met before… pages ago… lifetimes ago… …hard to tell… …time has no meaning …when it’s always ‘now’. ………………………………….   peace…………….ag

Ever onward. More editing. More writing. Will I ever reach a point where I say “Okay.  Everything is done except sharing it with the world.”? Maybe… maybe not.  Things are getting closer, coming together, writings that I’ve done  at various times seemingly fitting with one another as in a jigsaw puzzle.  Maybe so I can […]
