Always, when I travel, I am reminded that this is the last second
I have any guarantee of.
Buses, Planes, The London Underground.
What it brings up is not anxiety, rather a question about whether I have done the best I can do to be awake, present today with those I meet?
In what kind of shape are the relationships closest to me in life?
What might change in our lives if we gave up the need to be right?
Wild Thing
“I never saw a wild thing sorry for itself.” — D.H. Lawrence How is it that so much of our lives are tied up in the knots created by the story we tell about our misery? When will we see that there is always a choice? ...
Small Children
Small children who are born into loving, consistent, compassionate homes, tend to exude curiosity, loving-kindness, understanding and courage. Perhaps the issue of violence in our society has never been the weapons, rather it is about the misguided nature of our priorities? ...
Colonization of the Moon
Grace shared a video about some folks’ ideas regarding ways to colonize the Moon. Why would we dare to think about colonizing another place until we have created the planet Earth as a planet that works for everyone? Perhaps that’s a thought that might have been useful in the past ...
Ideas
The world is full of good ideas. Have you ever noticed how differently people react when you share your experience? ...
Toilet Paper
If you ask most people they will tell you that it is simply a matter of personal choice whether the paper comes over the top of the roll or under it. If you ask a person who is differently able (phrase credit Mike Noyes), they will tell you it should ...
Creation
Happiness and satisfaction never arise because of the behavior of others. They are places to come from, not to be found ...
Candor
Not telling someone what you really think about an issue is the same as not giving them your best. Why is it we sometimes are so afraid to speak? ...
This Second
This second can be the beginning of an entirely new way of being. Are you willing to commit to it now and now and now and now and now? ...
Arrogance
"We can never judge the lives of others, because each person knows only their own pain and renunciation. It's one thing to feel that you are on the right path, but it's another to think that yours is the only path." — Paulo Coelho ...
Toilets and Gratitude
One third of the world’s population does not have access to a toilet. That’s 2.3 Billion people. The leading cause of death in children is diarrhea. Are you grateful enough for your circumstances in this moment to want to assist in changing this situation? ...

Father Tony DeMello said that the following are the most difficult things to achieve:
To include the excluded.
To exchange love for hate.
To admit when you are wrong.
Are you willing to commit your life to mastering these things?

Hate
We have come to a time where we have become quite good at justifying our hate for this person or that action.
And the logical extension of the justification of hatred would be?
Perhaps, if we’re really good at it, we can create a
“war to end all wars.”
