Ode To Water

The “stream” remains a potent symbol. Its existence depends on rain and snow, fresh and innocent, carried from the mountain top to bring a new and continuous flow of virgin water entering again on a new journey of fertilization into life and manifestation.  I wonder what the new story will bring if the one before … Read more

Narcissism, Biology and Leadership

“You only have what you got.” “How can you have integrity and hold opinions without facts?” “Most humans are like spaghetti without sauce.” “The mind is above knowledge.” “Knowledge is a process of accumulation.

Which End Is UP?

Which End is UP? Anarchist and zealot enter From “A” to “Z”  Somewhere in the center  Maybe?  It’s not What the zealot got And anarchy Has no destiny So, what must I see? Where are We? Who am I? Pie in the Sky?

Too Immense,Too Small for Comprehension

Boom! Boom! So what’s to celebrate? When I look at us humans, feeding and breeding, I don’t see a victory for rational living, as I said before. But I ask the question: “What did you expect?” and “What do you expect now?” There’s something of a realization of the value of belief, in compensating for … Read more
