I’ve been asking (and feeling guilty to some extent about asking, as I wonder if I’m simply trying to find excuses to judge, to find reasons to set myself and others who seem to see things as I do apart from those who don’t, etc.) lately if it’s “OK” to at least recognize or acknowledge [...]

Dark Cloud
March 15, 2011
I really don’t know what this means, but I thought I’d post it. Over the past few days I’ve been hearing very little, but this morning when I woke up I heard what sounded like, “Knock it off…Hebrew.” Now, there are no doubt plenty of things that I should probably be knocking off right now, [...]
Awareness of the Heart
March 9, 2011
My good friend Sidewalk Bends (not his real name, obviously!) is a very wise and thoughtful man who has seen me through almost all of this “journey” I’ve been on for the past four years. In some ways I feel as if we’ve been growing up together… He recently let me know that his old [...]
Convention
February 27, 2011
A while ago I asked how I should deal with difficult situations, difficult people, conflicts and differences of opinion. I heard, “Forget hostile; forget civility.” I think he meant go beyond them.
The “Kingdom of God”
February 27, 2011
A while back, I was asking questions about what had actually come from God. One night or morning as I was asking, I heard, “Created space.” One day after that as I walked on the beach it occurred to me that what God created is everything that’s eternal, and whose essence really can’t be changed–sea, [...]
Sky and Clouds
August 8, 2010
8/8/2010 My son and I (as well as our dog, paralyzed pigeon, six white doves, and one diamond dove) survived the move from New Jersey to St. Augustine, Florida. I wake up in the morning these days and can’t believe that I actually get to live here until whenever the time comes to move on [...]
Nothing Left…
June 30, 2010
30 June 2010 There have been a few moments during my meditation in which things become very intense; usually, so far, I have to stop, although I’m trying to learn to relax and let it happen, as I know that it will take me where I want to go (wherever, exactly, that is). It’s very [...]
Trying and Trust
June 21, 2010
6/21/2010 This afternoon I was reading about Tao in a book called The Way of Chuang Tzu, by Thomas Merton. So much of what I’ve read in that book, and in the Tao Te Ching and others, seems to fit with what I’ve been being taught in the past couple of years that I often [...]
Burned Turtle, and Love
June 14, 2010
6/14/2010 Yesterday I saw a headline in my “local news” section of CNN.com that said that some teens on Long Island had been charged with setting a turtle on fire (it was on Long Island, a few years ago, that some teens also found what must have been a wounded hawk, set it on fire, [...]
