The silence of intuited unicity is always on
It cannot and need not be contrived
or arrived at or made anew
It is either recognized or not
Whoever ‘wins’, uncertainty is the only certainty, chaos the new normal. The flexibility to prevail on shifting sands requires open yet resilient minds.
If you’re confused you’re thinking.
The problems of thought are not solved by more thinking.
The ego thinks it knows what you want. The unconscious knows what you need.
Beautiful autumnal morning. A purposefully slow, meandering drive to work. Golden leaves everywhere. The river has retreated from the fields setting the sheep free again.
A bacon and egg roll here, a cup of coffee there.

Just chopped down an intrusive bush that would eventually have got out of control. Surprisingly light work using a green wood saw blade.
A run this afternoon if the rain keeps off and not much else before returning to work tomorrow.
She loves anything to do with sheep.

The season has begun.

There’s what you should do, what you shouldn’t do and what you’re going to do anyway.
If you don’t know what to do next, just wait and see what you do next.
Why meditate? Why do anything?
To see what happens…
Imprisoned plant.

I can’t get enough of Agnes Martin.










My very talented wife’s latest creation – a hand built (not thrown) porcelain teapot. I can’t wait to see it finished once it’s glazed and fired.
