Thursday’s Zen

August 30, 2010

You will never know the world aright till the Sea floweth in your Veins, till you are Clothed with the Heavens and Crowned with the Stars; And perceive yourself to be the Sole Heir of the Whole World; And more then so, because Men are in it who are every one Sole Heirs, as well [...]

Ren Faire Today

August 30, 2010

“Just write.”  Is what the psychic told me this afternoon.  It’s been quite a while since I’ve had my cards read – I think the last time was in the summer of 2008 in Sedona.  And I think that psychic told me to write as well.  The psychic in Sedona also talked about my “spirit guide” [...]

Weirdness

August 17, 2010

I think I need to meet with a psychic or spiritual healer.   I’ve got something going on with me that I can’t put my finger on to fix.  I mentioned a week or two ago that I’d been struggling with self-doubt.  Well, that hasn’t abated:  the struggle continues.  I don’t know why this is [...]

Being Present in the Moment

July 20, 2010

On the ride up to RI at the beginning of my MINIs on Top trip, I popped into my CD player a series of CDs my friend Jason loaned to me two or three years ago:  it was a talk by Eckhart Tolle called The Flowering of Human Consciousness.  It was pretty good – both [...]

Peaceful Weekend

July 18, 2010

The last five days passed like a dream.  I was really hoping for some kind of spiritual experience or battery recharge or something when I headed off to the woods last Wednesday.  And I got it.  Well, I got something.  Not entirely what I thought it would be, but something nonetheless. I’ve been looking forward [...]

Crack is Wack

April 20, 2010

Swami Ramananda wasn’t really all that prepared for the satsang on Sunday.  I think the topic was something along the lines of “the obstacles of commitment” or some such.  I think the original point of the topic was for him to discuss issues that come up for those committed to yoga as a spiritual path.  [...]

Weekend Update

April 19, 2010

This past weekend was a decent one.  I spent an inordinate amount of time sleeping.  Went to bed around 11:30 on Friday night, after getting out of work around 8:30, which precluded any trip up to the Adirondacks.  Got up around 1 or so on Saturday (yes, in the afternoon) and had to have my [...]

Gratitude and the Void

April 12, 2010

My plan was to test out this new plugin with a post this afternoon – er, yesterday afternoon, as it’s now 13 minutes into tomorrow.  But I didn’t get a chance to.  Work was crazy busy today and I left feeling like I still have a million things to do.  Which isn’t true:  I only [...]

On Becoming Less of an Asshole

March 21, 2010

I finished my peaks today for my Catskill 3500 Club winter patch.  A total of 28 mountains climbed this winter.  I met three guys as I was just about to the summit of Eagle and we shot the shit for a bit before I headed out ahead of them.  After I hit the summit and [...]

Turned A Corner

January 26, 2010

At least, I think I have.  Maybe this would be more properly entitled “Turning A Corner” – I’m not sure. For a little longer than the last two weeks, I’ve been feeling a bit off.  Less self-confident than normal.  Kind of an irrational insecurity – I don’t really know how to describe it.  Being nervous [...]
