Searching. You look up, and up. It’s steep. Way up. No. Wait. It’s right beside you. The packaging; ribbons, bows, sparkling lights, blinking lettering. No chance. Like a new type of Christmas present. No bow. No ribbons. No wrapping paper. No box. No thing inside. But, there is something about the circumstances. It’s not the …

The Other Side
Sit. Blow out the candle. Blow out your cares. Surrender. Exist in thanksgiving. The darkness is rich soil. Silence is fertilizer. Already planted in the soil are magic surprises waiting to be born. Allow every perplexity to drift away. Permit the venue to encapsulate you, to overtake you, to haunt you. Be attuned to the …
The Selective Process
Within all of us is a mishegas of craziness. A potpourri of ideas, interpretations and tidbits on innumerable topics. Unfortunately, a few of these can have negative affects and can be quite disturbing. They can pop up at any time, unannounced and unsolicited, and become parts of our life.

The Noise of an Epiphany
Most widgets sold? Biggest quarterly increase? Achieved a goal? Blew the competition out of the water? Wonderful.

When given a choice between putting up with some irritation or finally eliminating it from your life, your mind will be right there to make that decision for you.

They could be: ‘Friend 1’ ‘Friend 2’ ‘House’ ‘Car’ ‘Worries’ ‘Disappointments’ ‘Health’ and a host of others. To answer, we readily scan through the …
Disconcerted?
Unless you are at a point in your life where your deep-lying composure is disturbed enough to make you think alternative paths, the following paragraphs will be of no value to you. If you are at a place where a good meal out with a friend just isn’t going to be good enough, and you …
Context
There was a time (yesterday, and before to be exact) when it seemed valid to attempt to solve worldly problems by administering different shades of the Infinite. That somehow the concerns of individuals could be assuaged by loading a rifle with a perfectly designed bullet from the Infinite and firing it right into the heart …
Coming To Your Favorite Neighborhood Soon
A few days ago I was chastised by a close friend because I mentioned seeing something on a particular news channel. As is my temperament i glossed over the comment because of the certainty of where that subject of a ‘proper news channel’ would have gone. So here we are . . . a country …
