All I can feel is the current rushing past my waders as I mend my fly line. Nothing else is present, but absolute presence. I breathe deeply in the cool fall air. I mend the line, then prepare to cast again. This is what I hear: – (silence)- Nothing but the wind, rustlingContinue reading “Meditations on fly fishing”

The Old and the Tired
“You have to empty your cup, before you fill it up with more” … Bruce Lee As November draws near, I have the following request I’d like to make: I would like to see both of the candidates give up on or let go of the old, tired party lines and do something that isContinue reading “The Old and the Tired”
Crossing the Threshold
“I walked through the door and instantly felt home” … anonymous We walk through many doorways or thresholds daily. Seldom do we stop to notice what happens when we cross into another space. We simply move from space to space without consciousness. What happens when you take a moment to stop and experience what it’sContinue reading “Crossing the Threshold”
Coming Home
My feelings are mixed this morning as we prepare to head back home – sadness, mixed with a longing for the familiar (our space, our things, our cats). There is an amazing space that opens when we come and go from places. We bring something to that destination, have experiences, create memories, then move-on, leavingContinue reading “Coming Home”
Black Moon
Last night, September 30th, was a Black Moon, the second new moon in the month (a rare lunar cycle). The belief is that new moons offer new beginnings; a black moon is turbo charged.

Besides the “where”, there is the “what” as in what do we need when it comes to a floor plan. Two bedrooms, three bedrooms, 1.5 baths, 2 baths? 1,000 sq.Continue reading “What is Enough”
To Rent or To Return

You have small California style bungalows fetching $4K to $6K. And the price doesn’t drop thatContinue reading “To Rent or To Return”
Collapse
I find myself in a place of collapse as I write this blog. I feel a bit depressed, while at the same time, stirred up as I’m looking to relocate to southern California. I’m uncomfortable inside of me; not feeling my power. I experience “collapsing” as a human quality and I believe most of usContinue reading “Collapse”
Fellowship
“The next best thing to being wise oneself is to live in a circle of those who are.” ― C.S. Lewis I recently sat (meditated) with a group in a fellowship circle. The question that was put to the group prior to the meditation was this – “what does it feel like to be inContinue reading “Fellowship”
What Does Story Tell Us About Life?
“We must be willing to get rid of the life we’ve planned, so as to have the life that is waiting for us.” Joseph Campbell So many of our stories and myths are essentially about life. What are the basics of life and living. What to consider. What to avoid. One of the central themesContinue reading “What Does Story Tell Us About Life?”
