Today as I reflect on the wholeness of perfection, I see that I may have to reflect on my need to be perfect. I lacked a whole childhood for being myself and doing what I wanted. I was secure because I gave intimately to others and had to understand them instinctively and not […]
Today as I read about the word Perfection in Kathleen Norris’s book on Christian words, I found out in the old latin, it meant wholeness and certainty. I liked it for I like to be perfect in all I do, a Buddhist habit. What is perfection to you?
I believe that it is what […]
Yesterday, I mentioned smoke following beauty and the moon chasing stars and the fire smoke drifting with the wind. What makes us holy to these elements and what makes these elements holy to us? Ask that when watching a midnight fire or a midnight song in the breeze or in the solitude of […]
Yesterday, I saw a smoke fire with a friend and he said, “Smoke follows Beauty.” An old Pamunkey saying, I assume, since he is part or whole Pamunkey Indian. What a beautiful way to understand fire. I have in mind the moon following the stars across the sky, all feminine and on […]

Now I take my time and dictate nothing, but leave the best up to fate and ask for regular guidance while I lead the way. I know very little of scholarly scholastic and spiritual matters, but I sure know how to meditate a little each day, till it’s up to an hour and a […]

Today, as I awoke with my lively dog being relaxed and very patient with me. I got scared that I had done something wrong as all my expectations were off.
I was scared as I thought, how am I going to relate to him? He’s gentle and relaxed and I usually brace […]
Today, I awoke with a dream in mind and I didn’t want to stay awake; I preferred my dream to my waking state and that is rare for me, for I love life and all that’s in it. Do you ever do that? How do you repair yourself?
