Aka, "Our Practice: Sharing" is a Returning to our Senses, Why?  Who we are, forgotten, taken for granted, most likely, this describes all of us, then Remembering is important, which will lead us to realize how very much more similar we are than we usually think... Got around fifteen minutes,  Let me help plant some seeds in your Soul.  Mindfulness results from widening one's perspective in meaningful ways.  It is more than just using meditation as a tool, it is how you use it that opens the doors.  Usually, fellow practitioners don't talk about this or they cover it scantily as it...

to everything Turn, Turn, Turn;

everything has it's Season,

when we realize the meaning and significance of these words...

our World changes for the better.

Be-ing Humble and Appreciative for what one has comes more easily when we are more aware of the Circumstances of Creation.

It's a good idea

Changes are Riding in the Winds of Time
Yesterday at 12:00 PM

Imagine One Self as an Explorer.  It shouldn't be too hard    because   You are!

Then imagine One Self as be-ing Forgetful, it shouldn't be too hard either,   same reason, because You are!

Now, Imagine Your Self as making positive effort to be more aware, to Foster Positive Improvement in One Self and all which One comes into contact with.

This is the Possibility Life offers.

Take advantage!  Practice be-ing more alive

Last Friday at 8:00 AM

What do you think?

Easy to Practice, it is once you begin.

What are you afraid of....

How, everything is changing.

Pause, taking a breath, relax, remember the majesty of one's own be-ing,

here, now, alive, it is a miracle, not taking this simple and authentic Truth for granted,

celebrating one's awareness and what is

Have a Startling, Beautiful Day
Last Thursday at 9:00 AM

You deserve it, if you aren't sure, and it is OK if you are not, please, trust me in this:

"you are a bundle of miracles, and in fact, you are also in many ways hundreds of millions of years old, so take it easy upon your Self, be calm, for you are here, desiring to investigate for more self knowledge, there is no better pursuit, no higher calling than to be IN SERVICE OF all, which is in reality what we share..."

What do you know, show (?)
Last Monday at 2:00 PM

we are what we do, say, how we act, all the outward and inward nuances of our Be-ing aware, alive, alert, awake to........

our unique, individual perspective of "what's going on" in the Universe.


The more one studies and finds there is more and more, the more humble and thankful one becomes.

this is a way to happiness, harmony, grace

the photons of the Sun are such a gentle rain
10/11/2026

there is so much to explore and learn, to fathom the depths of what we can discern....

and, we can do it better, more harmoniously with virtue and collaboration / compromise of our species

toward everything, animate and in-animate.

we are a part of Creation, we are not favored nor doted upon,

we are!

and when the "we ares" view the Universe as we have grown to be able to do...

we discern more and more, gaining both awe and humility.

it is our privilege and...


If you need Ask, Know, you are already halfway there !
10/10/2026

Questioning is the first step of self realization.

Virtue enriches our conceptions, assumptions, and impressions.

Doing one's "homework," one's self effort in thinking...

brings reward.

It is as simple as the saying, "energy follows Attention."

or 

"seek and yea shall Find."

or 

"ask and it shall be given unto You!"

What do they all share.......         effort

What are the Life Accomplishments you Seek (?)
10/09/2026

One will know better if they see it or bump into it, if you know what it is you are looking for, just saying!

therefore, yea which seek, must initiate the question in one's mind, to fathom what will you ask to know....

now, you're beginning to know,

importantly, effort is the glue of success to stick and grow, to nourish and flower,

to make seeds

Does your Heart have a name (?)
10/07/2026

It need not, as it is always changing, although, whom am I to decide, just one amongst an infinite variety.

to ask this question poses an examination inside, this purpose alone is enough to satisfy a call to gather one's senses and explore with curiosity and Grace.

Be-ing a witness onto one's own be-ing here, now.

Celebrate, our creature hood, awareness, possibilities and potential.

Guiding your traversing Mind
10/03/2026

If you are like me, and I pretty much assume we are basically all the same physically and many of us share common thinking processes and background educations, different, yet somehow "kind of" the same.

Regardless, what is always be-ing suggested here:

Open one's Mind;

Search for the Positve;

Practice with enthusiastic conviction;

self improvement follows on this onslaught of Energy...

this is  "a"  Way,  relentlessly pursuing one's aspirations

Mushroom Caps, we are like
10/02/2026

no, I don't necessarily mean magic mushrooms, more of the visual, columnar form and a protective, spherical Cap which reminds me of our own be-ings, our heads, our minds atop our bodies...

how many ways to realize one's own divinity (?)

Planting Seeds of Encouragement

"ing" word endings connote action / activities in motion.

so this is what Life is, 

carefully, we can add to the flowing momentum, we can call moments, by suggesting to our Selves, a suitable next presentation to our mind, our processing of thought.

Seeds are these particular moments described.

Positive or negative is usually one's decision,

which is in one's mind (?)

Clearing the Air on Meditation
09/15/2026

Movement is the "normal" of our Universe.  The apparent solidity of "anything" is transitory.  what can we do to harmonize our "relative" positioning.

Be smart and clever as Homo sapiens have learned.

Understanding the depths of what is in this physical universe is certainly an important beginning to have a clearer perception of what is going on (in as far as we can conceive or perceive, of course!).

So, what's the big rub, effort, is all one needs.  It will build.  It will multiply.  It will become more.  This is what growth is, what h...

Shining more Brightly
09/12/2026

With Awareness, bodily, meaning physically, spiritually, meaning with one's mind and all it portends.  Everyone is much more than the Life we are individually living in these moments.  Evolution, one's DNA, is what we are in part talking about.  Most of what is going on in this, "our" Universe, is beyond our comprehension, so says Science.  Humble anyone (?) Everyone would be better, realizing our place in the Universe.

Chosen People, not really, fortunate, better term imho.  How many Galaxies are there (?)  How many Suns (stars) have planets in a "habitable" range of conditions.  Your answer should lie here. ...

Growing One's Sense of Perspective
09/09/2026

That's what we do, quick or slow, with effort or nonchalantly, it's all in the "make-up" of one's personality, one's goals and aspirations, the amount of effort we are willing to invest in "our" Selves and in all the rest of whatever one can find to consider......

mindful meditation is about everything one does.

Is it a  race, no, it is an INQUIRY, asking a be-ing millions of years in age, to help you improve, who, "it's You, silly, and the point as you have forgotten whom you are!"
