It’s rudimentary, my dear Watson. Why do you struggle to experience yourself as separate from the basic building blocks of the universe? Why do you discriminate between Sky God and Earth Goddess? How can you have one without the other? Fire’s in our bones, our cells, our hearts. Wind’s in our minds, our first and [...]
Well, against my best judgment, I’m joining another meme, because…resistance is futile. It’s the Orchards Forever Festival of the Trees NOTE: Even though this post didn’t make the line up for this Festival, I’m figuring out what the deal is so that next time the cool kids will play with me! Denver, Colorado, Friday, April [...]
two letters universes of difference how did we get here? has this happened in other worlds or only ours? what kind of quirky, convoluted Mind designed us to think we’re so separate we can make stuff like this up? legal or illegal words gone amuck designing policy dividing not only families but psyches and souls [...]

At least 27 of the groups are at risk of being eliminated [...]

Practicing As denial is the veiled echo of bone-marrow-knowing, So it is with resurrection. If we practice dying with the smug knowledge that we’ll be resurrected, reincarnated, recycled or renewed it resembles child’s play. It seems we get to a place of practicing spiritual dying where there are no answers, no platitudes, no echo from [...]
I love this simple and elegant social art project: Kacie Kinzer, a graduate student at NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts has created a low-tech robot that can only move forward in a straight line. Armed only with its final destination posted on a cheerful flag, the robot is dependent on strangers to help guide [...]
A couple weeks ago I posted on hope and posited some ideas about both some things that I don’t hope for during these times, mostly that our lives return to what they were…and some things that I do hope for: a return to knowing that we don’t want to live isolated lives a return to [...]
