34/ “ We are not part of something; we are all that is –the whole of Being.” I found the above and all the following quotes and notes in my back pack this morning. They’re from my Yellow Period which lasted about 3 months– a time when I was jotting down randomly encountered and seemingly […]
35/ “ Suppose…suppose…” Wyatt Earp’s recorded last words We’re all living legends – that is, we live the life that’s handed down to us; the Legend that finds us just at the time we’re looking for it! For me, as a boy, it was Wyatt Earp! I got into him right around my sixth […]
“ It was like his thoughts were dipped in a belief sauce, you know? “ ( Overheard ) We learn to Compare and Contrast from childhood. The more we use our mind to “C & C” the scene, the less we “see”. Our mind bores holes into reality, establishes what it “thinks” and […]
37/ “ Enjoy your Self “ Adyashanti I’m at home here now. It seems my Air Miles have been cancelled and the former high life of terrestrial travel has landed me right here; nowadays I just move in place. Mind you, I’m still hanging out like always, eating my bad habits, prowling the […]
Welcome to the Club! Everybody’s in the Explorers Club. Every person, plant, thing and entity no matter how cohered, is an active Club member, with or without knowing it, it seems!

40/ We listen to our mind like our car radio. It feels some days like we’re driving along with the radio cranked up and angsting every time the street lights start to change, never change and always change! Fortunately, those sirens of our mind are not where life is lived, they’re where life is thought […]
41/ This morning at the cafe I’m looking for a dog that will hunt! That’s my wry way of using an old “ turn of the tongue” phrase murmured by sanguine sages in sleepy, Deep South barber shops when they think some rascal politicians ideas are stuff and nonsense: “That dog won’t hunt!” Well, for […]
42/ We stand transfixed at a crossroad, at the intersection of two streets, one called “Asking” and the other, “Something”. That is, we’re always Asking Something about our life and the living of it. We stand there at the perpetual red light, waiting for the cautionary yellow to proceed or for the ultimate answer – […]
SEE WHAT HAPPENS!… An ongoing series of short articles written in the moment, about the moment, in the spirit of “see what happens!”. “What we need is an ever deepening inquiry into how spirit dances as this very life, for what we call “life” is but an expression of spirit and therefore fully spirit itself.” […]
