In Pursuit of BE-ing

July 6, 2009

I did not go hiking on Sunday.  Which is to say that I did not go hiking today.  Or yesterday – I’m not sure when you’re reading this, dear reader, but seeing as how Monday officially began about ten minutes ago, I suppose I can’t really go wrong with saying that I didn’t go hiking [...]

On Thinking Too Much

June 25, 2009

I’m pretty sure I’m over my “haven’t got a girl” whiney time.  I know that I only really whined for that one post, but that’s a lot for me.  For me to sit down and blog about being lonely means that it was weighing on my mind more than usual.  Whatever.  These things happen.  Thanks [...]

On Answered Prayers and Stubbornness

June 19, 2009

So let’s continue the theme of yesterday’s post, shall we?  Sometimes I wonder if this blog isn’t some kind of fancy-dancy prayer service of mine.  I’m extremely grateful for the good advice that was offered to me in yesterday’s comments.  I’ve got two things on my mind:  how my prayers are answered, and my own [...]

Current State of My Ego

June 12, 2009

Thank you, dear reader, for putting up with my crap for the last couple of weeks.  As you know, work has been ridiculously busy.   Today was a 13-hour day, and it felt almost light.  As I was driving home from work this evening, I was trying to figure out whether this current period of my [...]

On Faith

May 28, 2009

Yes, another post about that which I do not possess.  But it seems so cool!  It must be awesome to have faith.  Again, I’m talking about the kind of faith that works in all seasons, in all situations.  The kind that people who “walk with god” have. Yeah, yeah, I know:  be careful what you [...]

Would You Cheat?

May 22, 2009

A couple of days ago I was talking to some of the guys at work about Howard Stern – his show, his divorce, etc.  I remarked that my biggest takeaway from his movie Private Parts was that it seemed almost entirely dedicated to his wife.  I found a major overarching theme to be that his [...]

Sorrow to Joy

May 17, 2009

Sunday’s reading in my “God Calling” meditations book was pretty interesting: Weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.” My bravest are those who can anticipate the morning and feel in the night of sorrow that underlying Joy that tells of confident expectations of the morning. I’m a contrarian striving to [...]

A Bit on Isolation and Revelation

May 9, 2009

If you’re reading this on Saturday morning, I’ll be in the Catskills, after a two week hiatus.  I can feel my need to be in the woods, closer to the goddess and working and sweating to achieve that closeness.  A couple of weeks ago, I posted “Driven” late on Friday night, expecting to bushwack Kaaterskill [...]

The Oxygen Mask Analogy

May 1, 2009

I know I’ve mentioned this before, but it bears repeating:  there’s an excellent analogy I heard once-upon-a-time that regards self-care, and it goes like this: There’s a reason why the oxygen mask instructions say to put the oxygen mask on yourself before you put it on your children:  if you spend your time trying to [...]

Alcyone – At the Feet of the Master

April 27, 2009

When I was in Sedona last July with Scott and his wife, I spent a lot of time thinking about my spirituality.  Sedona is kind of a center for modern-day spiritual activity on our continent, and I was very cognizant of this while I was there.  We visited many metaphysical bookshops, crystal shops, and psychic [...]
