“This very moment is the perfect teacher”- Pema Chodron Living in the now. Seems a simple notion but all too often we find ourselves with one foot in the past and one in the future leaving us poised to crap on today. At this very moment, life is a gift. At this very moment, myContinue reading “This Very Moment…”

A Path To Better
There is a place better then now. There are meadows of greener Skies of bluer And rivers of cooler. There are days of happier And Nights of warmer Connections of deeper And harmonies of lighter Somewhere not much farther Lies a path to better Hope is stronger Discovery is nearer And peace is longer I’llContinue reading “A Path To Better”
There’s a disconnected rainbow, Floating in the western winter sky It hangs from invisible gallows Suspended by a lie
Have you ever seen the rain…
It’s raining outside right now…just a light sprinkling of precipitation and yet I can feel the renewal commence. Nights like tonight make me remember the blissful ignorance of childhood when a gentle rain was all the lullaby you needed to be carried into the most serene dreams. Where you could travel into the verdant landsContinue reading “Have you ever seen the rain…”
Trails…
I realized something as my father lay on his deathbed. I leaned in to say my goodbyes and I said “I don’t want to let you go Daddy” and I was reminded of a time when I was about 8 years old and my Father would tuck me into bed. I remember saying that IContinue reading “Trails…”
27226: Life Complete
The sad irony of death is that it is often hardest on those it leaves behind. Dad passed just when the burden of living became too much.

I guess it’s just what we have evolved into. Inherently dissatisfied participants in life. We are always scanning the horizon for a bigger, better deal. We aren’t capable of holding onto connections because there are always more to be made. Life is far too short to for us to remain content within our current circumstances.Continue reading “Doomsday prophet, see?”
Signposts at the edge of town
It seems sometimes that happiness is merely the absence of fear or the omission of discontent. We perceive happiness as a singularity that can only exist in wholeness and absolutes; black and white. The truth is there are infinite shades of grey and what we perceive as happiness may be far too ambitious a goalContinue reading “Signposts at the edge of town”
TM a go-go!
I would rather be kissing you right now. Gently stroking your hair as you lay curled beside me on the couch, Feet tucked beneath you and your head on my heart. “I fell asleep I’m sorry,” you suddenly say… No need to be sorry. My hand on your head and the rhythmic thrumming of myContinue reading “TM a go-go!”
