Zen Nothings

Wouldja?

2014-05-08T09:37:00.000-04:00

If you could

Come back

And be you

Would you?

Karma

2014-05-07T09:37:00.000-04:00

Life... streaming experiences

Destiny... yesteryears through today.

Catch the lesson, then release.
Karma... all that ever was... or will be...
Hope's gift... Gifts transcendence.

Miles

2014-05-07T00:20:00.001-04:00

Have walked so very many miles
Sometimes without shoes
In-roads, off-roads, uphill, downhill
Doomed, if ever still

Stumbling in the best of times
Running in the worst
Crawling through the least of crimes
Warding off the curse

Hurling when all hope was lost
Compelled by perpetual motion
Evolution, the hefty cost
Change as deep as ocean

Doomed, if ever still
Onward ho

Head held high

Victory to the fill.

Unseen

2014-05-06T23:01:00.001-04:00

Wary of words
Take stock in action

Action feeds illusion
Invest in reality

Sight, most blind
Perceive the unseen truth

To Be

2014-05-02T09:27:00.000-04:00

It's far more important
to BE
than it is
to be right.
Right is overrated,
dripping with ego.
Being... just being...
is bliss.

Choice

2014-05-01T09:25:00.001-04:00

Have you noticed? Some of the greatest things happen when we're alone.

When alone it's easy to hear your own heartbeat... and notice the beauty of thought.

When you are alone... Do you choose to be alone, or is it because something did not work out?

Greed

2014-04-30T09:25:00.000-04:00

Greed... the antithesis of life.

It destroys life in the blink of an eye.

Greed is not the path to bliss,

But the eternal promise of lack thereof.

Wealth

2014-04-29T09:25:00.001-04:00

Wealth... Most popularly attributed to material things...

Illusory... Most limited and never enough.

True wealth is the inverse of material accumulation.

Real wealth... Wealth of pure love... Good intentions... Dear ones...

Real wealth transcends life and time.

Barter

2014-04-28T09:25:00.001-04:00

Life is to give, not to take.

Giving is truly "giving" when the giver expects to receive nothing in return.

All else is barter.

Paucity Creed

2014-04-26T01:57:00.001-04:00

Is yours a life defined by paucity (scarcity), or abundance?

When a glass is half empty, it is also half full.

Leap

2014-04-26T01:19:00.002-04:00

Exercise your intellect... Then leap!

Sadness

2014-04-26T01:16:00.000-04:00

Sadness is...

Knowing that... One day...

The two voices that you had heard first...

Will be silenced.

Heaven Has A New Visionary

2011-10-07T02:11:00.002-04:00

Steve. I wore mournful black today.

We all feel the void of his absence in the universal consciousness. Most of us have a hard time dealing with the concept of living in a world without our parents... And, until yesterday, we didn't realize that we feel the same way about Steve Jobs. He has changed the lives of every inhabitant of this planet -- over a billion of us directly, and the balance indirectly.

He has pushed the envelope more than anyone of our time -- pushed it, reengineered it and perfected it in a way that seemed near magical. He drove innovation with a mercurial vision and empathic sensitivity that only visits earth once every few centuries. Like DaVinci.

He never sought it, but wielded immense personal power... Amazing genius... Reaching into our minds and hearts, melding with the essences, and devising the most intuitive products ever created. He expanded our minds, evolved our thought, gave imaginations to those bereft, and touched our hearts in a way that makes each and every one of us a better human being.

Some would say his devices were divisive, in that people spoke a little less, spending more time interfacing with an iMac, iPhone, IPad, etc. But those of us with a fraction of enlightenment realize that he united the world... Now, each person with an Apple product has brothers and sisters throughout various nations of the world. And we are doing wondrous things with them, from rendering medical service, to assisting the deaf, to nation-building.

Humbly, he taught people how to fish... And, in so doing, spawned the next generation of innovators, if not visionaries.

Vision is a gift; innovation an art; art can be taught.

Will we ever have devices that give us that wondrous feeling of awe and excitement, as felt only in childhood? Ever again? Is it remotely possible that we could be blessed by another such visionary in our lifetimes? We've already had one... It seems it would be greedy to expect another so soon.

Tears have been shed today. What will we do without you, Steve? Why didn't we clone you?

There is a distinct void in the universal consciousness. And it's echoing.

Summer Solstice

2011-06-21T13:16:00.033-04:00

An instant in time... Longest day, shortest night... North of June, South of December... Zenith in between Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn... 20, 21, 22... The day the sun stands still.

THE day to touch the Stone of the henge.

Stop the sun and harness the wind....

13:16 EDT.
