Alright then, Bethie’s back and she’s bad – in smuch a good way.  No that’s not a typo you read there, smuch is my new favorite word!
My friend Luana, introduced me to a process by Sonia Choquette.  I was so taken with it but I decided to change it and adapt it into something I [...]

what if all our paths are the right path
what if there is no wrong path ever
what if the only thing that held us back from knowing this,
is a conclusion that it’s a bad unfolding, it’s not good, it’s wrong
what if we took a deep conscious breath up from our
toes through our legs and spine [...]

Imagine a world where
“not one illusion is accorded faith”
If it isn’t the voice of strength,
if it isn’t the voice of love,
if it isn’t the voice of confidence,
it is the voice of illusion.
Imagine according your faith only
to the voice of strength, love and confidence.
Imagine withdrawing your consent,
your agreement with all else.
Imagine paying all else [...]

“Pain Is Inevitable. Suffering is Optional.”  (Zen Aphorism)
It’s a very famous quote that I’ve heard many, many times but only recently began to get a sense of what I think it really means.  Life happens, stuff happens — this is inevitable and responding with pure, genuine, heart felt pain is what is natural.  Or said [...]

the softness of the air

the fragrance of the grass

Pockets

Image Locale

almost entirely hidden
we carry this
a little pocket of pain
the one that time didn’t heal
tucked where it can’t easily be seen
something trivial and you bump into it
unexpected, it’s still tender
sometimes pieces tumble out
“it’s been ten years since …”
“I haven’t forgetten the moment when …”
the lyrics of our wounds differ
but that we are inevitably moved upon
by [...]

What if we believed all things were unfolding for our good — not just some of our experiences but ALL of them?  Well, what if we did?  That would eliminate all anxiety, fear and worry.  It would essentially rid us of all suffering.  But it would require something of us.  We’d have to suspend all [...]

We’ve all had things happen that left us pondering: wow, that was strange or what a coincidence.  Brief events that leave you doing a little double take because of their timing or strangely coincidental nature.  They often leave me asking — wow, what were the odds of that happening?
This week I had four fluke-ish events [...]

Oceans

there are oceans of blue sky within
one deep inhale of the ancient salt water sky
and you are capsized into this world
gently you are breathed through the ebb and the swell
you  —  have lived here forever
while this world has unfailingly carried you

Just Do It

Image Locale

Who can find a trace of you?
There isn’t even a bit of dust from your track.
Who could find your home?
You have no home.
How can I praise you?
What can I say about you?
Foam is the only form in the sea of meaning.
A great, unseen town
lies just behind that curtain
Our world is nothing compared to that.
Don’t [...]
