Wisdom in everyday life

  • Moving through time and getting wiser for it.

    I look up it is turning fall. Halloween is in the air and here we are mid October. No matter the wish and hope, the world clock turns and the next season looms. Time here moves! Every year in September I go through a mini-depression as my unconscious awareness feels fall and sees winter and Read more

  • The Silence or Depression

    I live in Northern Minnesota and I have the great privilege to live with silence. Now, I realize this notion sends most people over the edge of reason. In this day and age, the phone provides constant contact for those who can not tolerate being alone in silence. Silence has become something we now have Read more

  • The review

    I just celebrated another birthday, Holy Shit, they come fast. Used to be 365 days between them, now what is it 6 weeks? Anyway…As part of my spiritual practice I spend some time during the weeks previous doing a review of a kind. I look back over the year and reexamine how the journey went. Read more

  • Just another Manic Monday

    It’s hard to open the paper willy nilly now. In today’s world, one needs to have an eye closed and vision dimmed just in case it’s another manic Monday and the world is losing itself. It makes it hard to stay neutral when we seem to be going backwards on our earth journey rather than Read more

  • Trust

    I think it may be safe to say that trusting anyone in this world climate is a gamble to say the least. Being a spiritual teacher for so long, the one thing that became hard was the amount of humans I would have to deal with that spoke out of both sides of their mouth. Read more

  • What to even think about this 2022

    Absolutely, I thought evolution was a thing. Science sold the idea that all things were in a state of evolution, making its self more efficient, to make life easier, keep death at bay, live good lives. And then there was homo sapiens an up right that seem to get to have a bigger brain, again Read more

  • Now what

    I just spent some time trying to die of covid. After nearly 3 years of living like a saint, I let myself mingle for a minute and some mouth breather sent me some germs, they don’t die.. they just spread. They don’t know what’s its like living in such a body. My body is a Read more

  • Medjugorje

    That’s the name of the town where Virgin Mary sightings have been regularly occurring since the 80’s . She has been giving near daily messages to the same people that she first appeared to as children. It of course was a huge controversy. There are messages for the human community and many given for the Read more

  • So naturally, other cults interest me…

    I watched the documentary series about Gwen Shamblin on HBO and wow! A women, a church going God fearing woman. She undeniably led a cult and of course, openly and on record said “no, I didn’t”. She called it a Church, a Reformer Church, you know let’s go backwards in our thinking and leave reason Read more

  • Still in-between

    We don’t often talk about how hard it can be to live in the northland. Depression can be a really good friend. The cold, the dark, the isolation, all handy to drown yourself in and this year has been especially hard. The winter has been endless and the hope of spring a figment of our Read more
