Why is “normal” actually “harmful”?

Why is “normal” actually “harmful”? We can be like Cinderella’s step sisters or like a middle weight boxer trying to “fit in” to the category we wish to enter. We think, “I want to be a princess so I will cram my foot into those shoes.” …

Hallucinating Reality

I wake up with my new Russian Blue cat pushed against my legs. Day after day of dense ponderous rain has been falling. All of us welcomed it. The numerous fires breaking out every summer have begun early. They began in April and seered right through to May. Just a week ago we were choked by the brown-gray sky and warned against the evil of outside. The rain appeared like a blessing that comes from a genii. It was instant.

My Universe/ Kingdom

My Universe/ Kingdom The relativity of our reality is not at first revealed. When we were children we each explored the world and discovered what we needed to know. Some of us were attracted to bugs, others to flowers. Some of us see a hillside and charge it or roll…

What is happening when nothing is happening?

Posted on November 3, 2022 As the sun translates itself into golden leaves and the sky shifts to a watercolor mix of grey and blue, the sense of waiting for clarity, the prescience is heavy all around. The world is holding its breath. There is no “thing” to cling to…

Sannyasa: The Fourth Stage of Life

Awareness of the movements, chapters, seasons, and acts of life are distinctly different when viewed from a distance of age.

Transitions Are Constant

Posted on October 2, 2022 In Western culture we are not taught to see transitions. Or if we do see them we are taught to fear them. Our fragility spiritually is magnificent and stunning. It keeps us adolescent, dependent and irresponsible. One way we are shown our error in judgement…

What am I? Why do I do that? Who do I want to be?

What am I? Why do I do that? Who do I want to be? The question of who I am comes to mind frequently. Brain studies indicate that much of the thought habits that fill my mind are leftover scenarios of survival advice from the script of childhood. We are…

What can COVID teach us?

Posted on April 9, 2021 I was thinking today about perceived reality (again and again). For many, there has never been the sense of waiting for something ‘out there’ growing and coming closer. For many, their lives have been predictable, safe, and they believed that their survival was due to…

Is this a time to be conflicted?
