When one can see no future, all one can do is the next right thing. Frozen 2 I find this quote fascinating. On the physical level, when standing in the dark with no path in sight, what is left is to take the step, the leap of faith that feels accurate, either that, or crumple …

Awakening
I love Jim Carrey. I think my favorite movie, and this is a hard choice, is The Truman Show. It could be that I just finished watching it again but it feels like it is more than that. When I look at the movie as an analogy for my life here on playground Earth it …
The Great Reboot
If you are fortunate to not be packed up and ready to evacuate you probably haven’t had to decide what you would take and what you would leave behind. I’ve wandered around the house today wondering what I would leave to the fates, what dear treasures I would tuck into my bag as I walked …
You are the Portal
Jackson County is on alert to evacuate. Medford is a town of 82,000 and there are lots of smaller surrounding towns as well. My heart goes out to all my friends and family in the path of the Glendover fire. It is the same not too far from home. Clackamas County is on alert — …
Surrender
What are your thoughts on death? Do you believe you aren’t afraid of death? It’s common to hear people say they aren’t, but are they really immune? Are they truly okay with taking their last breath, with leaving everyone they love behind? Are you? We are living through demanding times. People are stressed beyond their …
Here, Here!
Just when you think it’s safe to get back in the water! What a life this is, a universe intent on stripping away every last flake of ego, ego that can not be seen until it is in the process of being stripped and even then it’s so slippery, like a slinky slipping around a …
Resign
What happens if we resign from the argument? If we do, we would have to face the fear that the world will go to hell. Doing so, we would come face-to-face with the reality of what we fear. We would find out whether our exhausting vigilance is required to keep the world on track. For …
No Escape
There is no escape. That is not the purpose of playground earth. We can destroy this planet and still not escape. That idea is at the core of climate shift — a desire to end it all, to watch it burn. Whatever tack we take, whatever way we attempt to destroy ourselves, consciousness will always …
Priceless
Anything truly is possible. The world as you know it can shift in an instant. The shift is activated by love. This uni-verse, the one rhyme and rhythm, is fueled by love. … and yet, humans continue repeating patterns they set into motion: countries imploding, bodies aging, illnesses becoming more chronic, relationships failing, happiness and …
Today I Forgave a Tree
Today I forgave a tree. I know that sounds silly, but for me it was a bit of grace. Back in January as I was coming up the steep hill out of the woods where I walk my heart went into v-tach, one of the worst episodes I experienced throughout my 11 months of …
Let Love Have Its Way
“All it takes for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing.” Abraham Lincoln Many today see politics and spirituality, the physical and ethereal, as separate. They are not. It is all one experience being experienced by apparently separate form-bodies. Some say, “I don’t do politics. I am focused on truth, on maintaining …
You. Cannot. Fail.
This post has been percolating a few days and I’m still not in on the plot and yet, I am given to sit down in front of the keyboard and let the fingers fly and let curiosity be my guide. Oh. this is fun! I love a mystery. Two days ago — a gorgeous northwest …
It’s Okay to Meet the Monster
Our parents didn’t know any better. They told us to stop crying — you aren’t hurt — and shut off the light as they exasperatedly said monsters don’t live under your bed. When we fell down they said, jump back up; never show your pain; just ignore it; be strong. Our parents, and our society, …
The Split
Okay. It’s official. The earth has split in two and never the twain shall meet. We are witnessing a dimensional shift, only to the eye it looks like nothing’s changed here on this plane of existence. People with totally different realities talk and walk side by side. Their experience of life couldn’t be different. This …
No Mistakes Here
You will do what it is in your consciousness to do as will everyone else. That cannot be stopped, changed or altered. While you might seek isolation, another may attend group events. Whereas you show compassion, another will only care for himself. The differential is not the people, not good versus evil; it is the …
