9 Days in Barre, MA

The essence of Deliberate Creation is faith that our true nature is unlimited. The Yoga Sutras and the teachings of the Buddha lead one from a limited sense of self to an unlimited one.

When I sit in meditation and bring my attention to the consciousness/energy light within me all of the other “understandings” that I have held about who I am fade like shadows before the rising sun.


Peace is what happens when we stop fighting

JFK

A Zen teacher was asked what the benefit of long term practice is, and his answer was, “An appropriate response." I came across a photo of JFK with Tennessee Williams and Gore Vidal. It is 1948, three years after the end of World War II. They are young, glamorous, happy and in Rome. The joy and vitality of that picture says it all.
Life is short
Things change
Have fun
