When you are present in this moment,
you break the continuity of your story, of past and future.
Then true intelligence arises, and also LOVE.
The only way that LOVE can come into your life is not through form,
but through the inner spaciousness that is presence.
LOVE has no form. The world can only change from within.

near the horizon burns its invitation,
“Come on.” So many lakes and lost places

of lines each from 8 different poems and two different authors.
I selected Mary Oliver and Wendell Berry for this [...]

I’m having a ’90’s moment today. I heard Ordinary World by Duran Duran on the radio after many, many years of not hearing it. I wondered about the lyrics and what it really meant by ordinary world and learning to survive. I googled it and found some information on Wikipedia. Couched in [...]

Let this darkness be a bell tower
and you the bell. As you ring,
what batters you becomes your strength.
Move back and forth into the change.
What is it like, such intensity of pain?
If the drink is bitter, turn [...]

That’s what it says on a pinback button I have hanging on my car visor, along with two others ‘Uniquely Me’ and ‘Zippety Do Dah’…I lost one of my favorites that said: ‘The ozone layer or cheese in a spray can? Don’t make me choose’…ever reminding me not to take life too seriously. [...]
