We Are Not Required to Fix It
“It’s OK to destroy the planet and exploit resources.” How do you feel when you read that? Angry? Sad? Relieved? There’s an elephant in the room – choose any color, including green – when it comes to our heroic efforts to save the planet. Simply put, it’s impossible to live in modern society without exploitation. Our lives in 2021 are based on commodifying our...
Read MoreRight This Second
I want to know about now the now beneath my fingertips gone already, once aware of itself only in knowing it was, however briefly now, already left redundant not caring what came next any more than what passed, now, not caring whether moments exist when they disappear as footsteps erased by concrete now, no forward, no back, was but a motion carried by the ambling of tree trunks forever round and...
Read MoreTo Waiting
You spend so much of your time expecting to become someone else always someone who will be different someone to whom a moment whatever moment it may be at last has come and who has been met and transformed into no longer being you and so has forgotten you meanwhile in your life you hardly notice the world around you lights changing sirens dying along the buildings your eyes intent on a sight you...
Read MoreLost
Stand still. the trees ahead and bushes beside you are not lost. Wherever you are is called Here, And you must treat it as a powerful stranger, Must ask permission to know it and be known. the forest breathes. Listen, It answers, I have made a place around you, If you leave it may come back again, saying Here. No two trees are the same to Raven. No two branches are the same to Wren If what a...
Read MoreNot Meditating
All attempts to meditate are the abject denial of it… J. Krisnamurti Sometimes when I sit on the ground for no reason, bills paid deadlines met, stomach neither full nor empty my quiet spreads and fills me with sky from brain to big bang I am the blueprint a marriage of flesh and sapphire discovering the open eye Sometimes, I become the laughter of sunflowers or tickling bees I grow louder...
Read MoreThe Time Before Death
Friend, hope for the Guest while you are alive. Jump into experience while you are alive! Think… and think… while you are alive. What you call “salvation” belongs to the time before death. If you don’t break your ropes while you’re alive, do you think ghosts will do it after? The idea that the soul will rejoin with the ecstatic just because the body is...

Read MoreAll is Welcomed Here…
“Broken hearts and broken wings bring it all and everything bring the song you fear to sing, all is welcome here. and even if you broke your vow a thousand times come anyhow, we’re stepping into the power of now and all is welcome here. See the father and the son reunited, here they come dancing to the sacred drum, they know they’re welcome here. I see the shaman and the mighty...
Read MoreThe menu is not the dinner….
The experience is reality. Its description is a symbol. In other words, the menu is not the dinner. You can’t eat the menu; you can only eat the dinner. This mad compulsion to constantly measure creates the experience of time. This is the real meaning of sacrificing the soul for the world, or the spirit for the ego. My ego is a collection of status symbols, images. Reality is a state of...
Read MoreJust For Now
Just for now, without asking how, let yourself sink into stillness. Just for now, lay down the weight you so patiently bear upon your shoulders. Feel the earth receive you, and the infinite expanse of sky grow even wider as your awareness reaches up to meet it. Just for now, allow a wave of breath to enliven your experience. Breathe out whatever blocks you- from the truth. Just for now, be...
