What I do to you, I do to myself

I have republished a piece from an older blog. Go to: https://gtilley.wordpress.com/2015/06/22/what-i-do-to-you-i-do-to-myself/. I felt the timing was right to republish. I will be posting a follow-up piece for tomorrow. Hint: It’s time to look inward. Peace

I voted today.

I walked to my local polling place this morning. Shared my I.D., signed a couple of docs and voted. It took all of 10 minutes. I walked away, hoping for the best. I wonder how many of us felt that way today as we participate in this democratic process? We simply are “h oping forContinueContinue reading “I voted today.”

A visit to the psychic pond.

Preface: I am avid follower of the work of Robert Bly. Most of the terms and context is based on his work in the field of mythology. I did some work yesterday on my life project of bucketing out my psychic pond. Didn’t expect to tackle that chore yesterday, but sometimes, regardless of my bestContinueContinue reading “A visit to the psychic pond.”

Ode to Dia de Los Muertos

Can we dance with ghosts? Say goodbye without losing a part of us in doing so? The long sleep. The greatest journey. The end. Can we celebrate the transformation of death? Open our hearts to those who have gone before us? In Mexico, they cook and eat with the memories and images of their dead.ContinueContinue reading “Ode to Dia de Los Muertos”

It’s fourth and critical

Football is not my sport. But I thought it was a fitting analogy for the current circus of an election seeing how there are only seven days left. It’s been a defensive struggle between these two teams with a championship title at stake. The theme of this game has been fumbles. Both sides are attemptingContinueContinue reading “It’s fourth and critical”

Candy or Candid?

The streets echo with little one’s looking forward to a night of goblins and candy. Yes, Halloween is now upon us. Our neighborhood is alive with children (which is unusual, since there seems to be no children the rest of the year). Do we buy candy or slip quietly into the night and turn theContinueContinue reading “Candy or Candid?”

The Art of Cooking

This blog post contains no recipes or food tips. Just to be clear. What I’m talking about when I refer to “cooking” is not about the food we make. What I’m talking about is the slow integration process we experience as human beings when we make a conscious effort to grow ourselves. When we cookContinueContinue reading “The Art of Cooking”

Lesson’s of a good story

“Tell me the facts and I’ll learn. Tell me the truth and I’ll believe. But tell me a story and it will live in heart forever.” – Native American Proverb Stories provided the communal bread from which all people shared within a given culture or community. Stories brought the characters of tales and myths closerContinueContinue reading “Lesson’s of a good story”

I woke up this morning with nothing to write

I went to bed last night full of creative thoughts. I woke up this morning with nothing to write. Only 33 posts into my process and I’m blanking out. I had so much to say (or at least I thought), yet the mind is not working. My morning coffee didn’t jump start me . Yeah,ContinueContinue reading “I woke up this morning with nothing to write”

The Wisdom Path

Almost there. My co-producer, Marcus Acoya, and I just finished the audio portion of a video track that will be used as part of our Kick starter funding page. Why Kick starter? We are trying to build the Wisdom Path podcast series (a brief on the podcast will be posted at the end of thisContinueContinue reading “The Wisdom Path”
