Way late this yellow morning. The Oregon skies are full of smoke; dry, hot, August fires raging in mountains east and west, smoking the village. I am intrigued by the character of the life cycles of Earth, and as human beings, we too are subject to cyclic rhythms—will I return after death like a tree? … Read more
What’s on my mind today? Toni Morrison, who writes with space between words and lines. Then she can fill in what she writes with what comes in the later read. Only it is more significant when copying to the computer in the first edit. Otherwise, one rips through a lot of paper. It seems to be natural … Read more
I am thinking about labels and its content, their actual expression, application, and implementation. They are both reasonable, logical in existing.

Adequacy What a mind blowing implication. She “owned” what she felt to be her inadequacy. It wasn’t that I felt for her so much as I felt something disturbing deep in myself. It touched something fundamental in the power of drowning in this word. Adequacy It goes straight to the sense of one’s standing in … Read more
Dreaming of dreaming, watching the sense of coherence loosen as I realize the meaning of my humanness on the path of evolution in life. I think the path takes on a new meaning after seeing how evolution’s journey flows and manifests through human evolving. We know of the expanding of matter and the cycle and … Read more

“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. Knowledge is on the road to thought. “Thinking is the integration of knowledge.” “Mind is meaning.” “ Time can be the … Read more
