Wisdom in everyday life

  • walk in grace

    I do a lot of walking so I see a lot of things. I see the looks on peoples faces, I hear their conversations. I see which way they have their gaze. It feels like walking through everyone’s living room sometimes, I see too much. I have seen peoples private parts, yes I am talking… Read more

Its time to change people or like the hard wood you will be snapped. Its time to be like the bamboo, bendable, changeable, adaptable, surely you feel this. The old ways… Read more

  • See them as children

    It doesn’t take long to get disappointed with humanity. Turn on the news, read a paper, horror, after a while there is for me a decided need to separate self from “them”. I am not like “them”. I walk through the streets of Santa Monica and I see all manner of life and life forms,… Read more

  • the art of sacrifice

    I have been trying to understand the difficulties of my life in a different way, through a different lens. Frankly if I don’t do something my head is going to blow off. I’ve had enough.

  • The end is near

    The end of the year that is… We are heading into the time of deciding what to plant in our mental garden to make seedlings of things and ideas that will gestate during the winter months for completion in next year’s spring. So many people want the instantaneous gratification of I think it so it… Read more

  • Doing the great work

    Most people have to have a job to get by but not every job we get paid for will be part of the great work we desire to do. A job can pay the bills but the great work is that which stirs our soul. People lose their happiness when they forget that the 2… Read more

  • What if you’re right?

    What if you’re right and we could have anything we want as long as we were willing and able to work towards it without loss of faith? Go for it! What if you were right and it really didn’t matter at all, what you choose to look like and what you choose to do? Be… Read more
