And his principal complaint about other human beings was that they so seldom noticed it when they were happy. So…

The subtleties of letting go
I used to convene with my spiritual friend – and-Id tell her stories -inevitably leading us back to; the layers of consciousness are many and the subtleties of awareness; infinite.

Memorial Day
My neighbors bought a smoker- stained their deck-cleaned the pool and got everything together in preparation for the long holiday weekend. I watched them enjoy the sun – each others company and pack it all up as Monday drew to a close. Left me with that certain feeling; of time spent – with a tinge…

Look to this day
Recently held a debit card in my hand and my son-George, spotted it and clamored to get it. He made quite the fuss so-I handed it over- and, upon inspection, his fascination did not relent- instead, he oohed and aahed and- would not return it. I thought it was a funny thing. A seemingly random…

Phantom hugs
Some years ago now-Amma- also known as the hugging Saint-was in town and, I was staying with a friend who was invited to go and see her. I tagged along – mostly out curiosity and-for something to do. At the time I was still quite cynical so , I’m sure I colored it according to…
