When things are right, there is no guesswork. Nothing is awkward, nothing is out of place. There is nothing needed and nothing is wasted. Everything makes sense.

Your Cup
The morning touches you with the subtle idea of ‘intangibles’. Fog, uncertainty, the mystical. You probably won’t be given the answer to ending a war, but you might be surprised by a moment of clarity just up around the bend.

Unexpected Moments of the Unknown
Not just all the stuff we’ll never see in the universe. Not everything with which we will never come in contact. Not the nothingness, but the things we may have been near, and we may have seen, but their image couldn’t be recorded in our memory because they had transcended above our capacities for recognition. …

Spiritual Wandering
It’s as if we are on some type of illusory scavenger hunt. We search new books, new authors, new countries, new ports of call, new activities, new roads, new routes, new foods, new routines . . . trying to fill in all our vacancies, attempting to satisfy all our uncertainties and to tie up all …
