Aren’t we all on a Vision quest – right now?
How often do we see in spiritual journeys the example of the monk, who has retreated into the small cave, high in the Himalayas where no one would dream of going; sustaining him/herself on just the most meager bits of sustenance, battling his/her demons in an effort to become ‘more’ of what?, attain what? Or perhaps to answer the “big” questions. Who am? Why am I...

Someday,the light will shine like a sun through my skin & they will say, What have you done with your life? & though there are many moments I think I will remember, in the end, I will be proud to say I was one of us. -Brian...
Read MoreThe Work of HAPPINESS
I thought of happiness, how it is woven Out of the silence in the empty house each day And how it is not sudden and it is not given But is creation itself like the growth of a tree. No one has seen it happen, but inside the bark Another circle is growing in the expanding ring.

What I learned from Henry Miller and then forgot; Dive in and swim, not moon around trying to decide what project to start on first. it’s all one project. Pick it up at any point, start working and you get into it. There aren’t a bunch of projects, there’s only one project: survival on planet and salvation of soul. Are they parts of one project? (yep: because without...
Read MoreLook to this day
Look to this day, for it is life, the very breath of life. In its brief course lie all the realities of your existence; the bliss of growth, the glory of action, the splendor of beauty. For yesterday is only a dream, and tomorrow is but a vision. But today, well lived, makes every yesterday a dream of happiness, and every tomorrow a vision of hope. Look well, therefore, to this day. Kalidasa,...

Stand still. The trees ahead and bushes beside you are not lost. Wherever you are is called Here, And you must treat it as a powerful stranger, Must ask permission to know it and be known. The forest breathes. Listen. It answers, I have made a place around you, If you leave it may come back again, saying Here. No two trees are the same to Raven. No two branches are the same to Wren If what a...
