My Aphorisms

Here are some thoughts that I have been thinking of. I will update this list as new items come up. We all make decisions in our lives that limit our options. We only live in the Now. There is no past or future. The ego cannot live in the now. It lives in the memory […]

We Are

We were one. One with the Universe, one with space, one with each other, one with ourselves. There was no beginning and no ending. We were; We caused ourselves to be. In the beginning, if there was such a thing, there was only the Desire to be, to experience, to be unique, to be aware of […]

Presence

As I drive up the hill, I notice this old couple coming down the hill towards me. He, the driver, seems to be in his mid eighties. She, the passenger in the attached carriage, about the same age. The vehicle, a motorcycle from the time of their youth. They are taking their time, about half […]

Things left unsaid…

The pain exists in the things unsaid, in those pregnant moments when you desire so hard to say something to someone that is “uncomfortable”, yet do not, because… We go through our lives waiting, hoping, desiring to express ourselves, to scream outloud what we feel, to show who we really are to those who matter […]

Entracte 1

Sat down to write something inspiring or, at the very least, depressing, yet could not finish – got stuck on the verbs while listening to the soundtrack of Amelie. It has been a nut of a day. No, a nut of a year. Will go back to it some other time. So instead, decided to […]

Jonathan Livingston Seagull

After spending the afternoon with my godson and dropping him off at his mother’s house, I decided to go to Cafe Venetia in Palo Alto as it was pretty close from where I was. Having nothing to do (first *entire* weekend in many, many years), this was a great time to take for myself. It […]
