Sometimes It’s Not Your Lesson

We are by nature self-centered.  It’s a survival mechanism.  The world is neither dangerous nor safe, but if we don’t look where we’re driving or drive where we’re looking bad things can happen.  So you can think of it more as self-preservation rather than self-centeredness, but this necessity skews our perceptions of the world as…

Stand There

We are so action oriented.  It’s hard to be patient.  It’s hard to surrender.  It’s really hard to just let things play out.  But really, sometimes there is nothing to do.  Or in doing we miss out on what was the actual point of the exercise.  Kind of like asking someone a question and then…

Just to let everyone know, I’m at the Willamette Writers Conference August 2,3,4 and so my posts might be delayed for the next three days.  Or just non-existent depending on how things go.  So to keep you occupied, here’s a picture of my cat: She exemplifies the pursuit of your true path.  She gets plenty…

The Purpose is Happiness

Here’s a general rule of thumb:  If you chose this life, not to learn about suffering but for personal growth and/or a life of service, then the purpose of your life is to be happy.  If you aren’t happy, you’re doing it wrong. Sounds very bourgeoisie I know, but it’s true.  Which is why a…
