76 Months

Dear's death, 76 months ago today, has transformed my life, which I'm sure was her intent, in part, compassionate lover of God that she is. Our world together as we conceived it wasn't deep enough. We talked a good God is Everything, but she experienced for herself the considerable enough unfulfillment of it. And she felt that I, her dearest love, wasn't equipped to join her in going for broke so to speak, as she felt called to do....

There is a quality of humor that comes with seeing everything as God, and therefore is a part of our conscious awakening to that reality. Going by my experience, underlying even our outrage is the tickling reminder that it's no more or less than a sacred part of our soul's path of realization. On my better days, I find that quite amusing....

So what did this assassinated public figure named Charlie Kirk learn upon his physical demise? What will we learn upon ours? What would the Dalai Lama say? Or the Pope? Or Jesus? Or other avatars such as the Buddha, Paramahansa Yogananda, and any saint or sage of our choosing? What do we feel are the criteria upon which our opinion about Charlie Kirk's death contributes to the health of humankind?...

My pal Tim Hayes died Sunday, although the next day he visited me and guided my pen as I attempted to celebrate his delightful spirit. He knows about such inspiration, having authored a couple of enjoyable books related to the sign on his truck that reads: "Hayes is for Horses."

Dear and I were married 48 years ago today. Yesterday, a most significant drawing appeared, titled: "Me Bidding Farewell to This Incarnation (with a mouthful of polkadots, of course)." Last Thursday marked the 6th anniversary of Dear's physical departure. There's some funny coalition of forces at play, including my physical fragility, punctuated yesterday by my unsteadiness navigating the irregular landscape of Big Falls, a wonderful place to die....

Maybe the only question that needs resolution is "Who am I?" Especially when the answer is my answer, "Manifestation of God." Not "Child of God" as so many sages say. That doesn't satisfy me because I infer its meaning to be something different from God, the way we are different from our parents. I think of myself as fundamentally the same as God except for one teensy point: my soul has yet to consciously realize that oneness....

Part of the spiritual life we're all familiar with: Honorable aspiration, unworkable ex*****on.

Yesterday, for the first time ever so far as I can remember, but certainly the first time since 7/17/19, I attempted to draw the spirit of Dear and me together. Afterward, I sobbed like never before since her departure, just missing her, felt at a level not possible until now as I've been distracting myself from the solitude required to feel my soul ever-more deeply....

This essay was originally published in October 2016, on my website CoolMindWarmHeart.com, during Donald Trump's first run for President While Donald Trump may be colossally unworthy of our trust to be president, there is one thing about him I honor: his role in making saints. (Not that he knows he’s doing so.) I’m not cracking wise here. If a saint is somebody who has compassion for everyone all the time, Mr....

Oh what a show the worldly-world is manifesting as our collective ignorance reminds us of the price we pay for how we define reality. Perhaps the most rewarding part of today's outrageous drama that is assaulting so many forms of security our ego consciousness finds essential to a healthy life is the rise of willingness to take action to quell or defeat the worldly-world agents of this insecurity. ...
