The Goal of Being Happy
Being happy was all that I ever wished to be. As a child, I was happiest when hanging out with our dogs, or tagging along with my dad out on the ranch. I was in a learning mode, although I … Continue reading
The Everpresent Unknown/the Void
The Unknown, the Void, is ever present. I listen. All is quiet as this new day dawns. What this day brings, I do not know. I do know that Spring is coming, for the little fig tree I bring in … Continue reading

The mystery of life and death, being in the present moment, seems, at times, so profound. I am writing, high from a couple of cups of red wine, using the energy from the battery bank a friend set up for … Continue reading
A Blank Page
This morning I face a blank page. Being alone, having morning coffee, listening to the birds chirping out in the forest, I come to write, to somehow appease this deep sense that I am forever alone. Why do I feel … Continue reading
That I May Live
Soften my heart, Source of my Being, so that I may live. Help me to lose this tendency I have toward anger, first off. When the memories of being bullied, treated badly, abused are fresh, still, in my cells, it … Continue reading

Nobody Ever Really Knows
Nobody ever really knows what is going on with another fellow human. One can appear to have it all, to be incredibly gifted, have a wonderful life, have great kids, be living one’s passion. And yet, one may be suffering … Continue reading
