Calling Your Friends To Figure Out What To Do?

Do you, like most of us, get on the horn and call your closest friends (and sometimes not so close ones) to try and hash out a pending decision, or what to do about relationship, job, boss, you name it?
You can become your own most powerful resource, simply by learning to become “self-referring.” It’s exactly [...]

Have You Been Heard?

Most of us have not been fully heard. When we suffer over or through something, our community will offer a willing ear and compassion for a certain amount of time. After that, we are expected to get it back together and to move on.
And we, being caring and no wanting to impose on our friends [...]

Barefoot and Bold, day 18, 7/30/10

The carpet at Oak Tree Cinema is very cushy. It kind of folds to the side as you walk on it, rather than depress…I’m getting to know the surface of the city. I don’t know if that is interesting to read about, but it’s interesting to experience. It’s so obviously a lens that it makes me aware of “lens-ness” in general. It’s kind of sneakily revelatory.In the movie theater I had my feet up and even though I always take my shoes off in the theater and prop them up on the next seat if the row is empty, I caught myself unaware and feeling suddenly vulnerable

The only thing to note is that the ultimate reality is that you are the dreamer of your own dream. When you believe that your dream is reality, that’s the dream you’re dreaming. Ask yourself, why does the concept of reality exist? It does because we sense the dream quality of our world and seek to establish that there is something that is real. Beyond the dream there is only the immutable beautiful luminous darkness.

Yesterday, the pavement was scorching hot! Ow, ow, ow! And I wondered, what’s worse, hot or cold? Well, I’ll find out soon enough.

I remember when day three seemed like a long time. Now two weeks seems like nothing - it’sjusttwoweeks. I’m a little disappointed by the absence of profundity. But, on the other hand, it may be quite profound that I’ve been feeling so happy and bold. In fact, right now, I’m going to be bold enough [...]

Today the pavement was hot as heck. Don’t really know what heck is, but it beats the heck outta hell, so heck it is. I’m sooo tired, all I wanna do is be silly, silly, silly. Loved this morning’s Bhakti Talk. And can’t wait till next Sunday’s.

I had my first decaf coffee in about eight [...]
