Life’s most effective sounding board is silence. If you take your thoughts with you into experience, you’ll never know the peace life so wholly and sweetly offers. You can tell all in a quiet moment, and all you’ll get back is an embrace and love so deep it swallows every concern. Are you listening?

“The road less traveled” is the only road you will ever be on, not the route you fantasize about being better. The contemplative wanderer never reaches a crossroads, and so “the road” always blossoms into life experienced and everlasting.
Don’t look for signs along the way, nor post any of your own. Where you are going is where you are now, and no other will ever know the splendor you and you alone experience. It’s a beautiful road not found on any map, forged alone by YOU. “Happy trails!”

Ego asks why, but only because it already assumes an answer, making “asking why” an attempt to confirm or add to what it has already determined. Rarely, if ever, will ego ask and accept a solution that doesn’t align with its already predetermined knowing, and even if it did, ego is incapable of knowing “why” about anything anyway.
What YOU are, that has no connection to ego, other than the observation of it, never asks why because it does not need to know. Do you see? “Not-knowing” gives way to perfect unattached, unbiased living, and all that shines through such living is joy and realization that the only effort needed to live is an awareness that miracles constantly unfold around you. YOU are the greatest miracle of them all!
Ask not why you live as you live. Seek only to embrace the miracle and mystery of YOU who is living it. There’s nothing better than you, knowing YOU!

The beauty of silence is that it has no interpretation; thus, no misinterpretation. When silent, YOU are at your creative peak. Shhhh.

Encounters with friends, acquaintances, family, doctors, employers, teachers, leaders, etc., typically take the form of an idea that you are something you think they think you are. However, at that moment of first thought, you cease being what you are. From there, the dance of the unreal begins!
You are likely so good at the transition that you don’t even notice it happening. We all are. It’s almost as if we have a role to play in a play of our own making whose ending is scripted, well-rehearsed, and perfectly timed!
Act 2: “You are what you think” only has relevance in human affairs, and while you can’t “not” be human, you can stop “thinking” like one. The unassumed is the best role in the only play that’s real. You’re “real” when you no longer know, consciously or unconsciously, the plot. Mysteries are just more interesting anyway!

As long as you have “reasons” to remember, you cannot forgive. Life is an incomprehensible, irrevocable mystery, perfectly formed and flawlessly executed. It is without memory or consequence, and the only glimmer you will ever have of its nature is to forgive all you have strapped to its performance. That is, remember nothing and no one you hold to account.
What you cannot forgive makes you unforgivable, but life lives you regardless. It’s just more enjoyable when your reasons for misery no longer exist. You did what? I don’t remember!

It is a fallacy to assume you “see people as they are.” At best, you only see what you think, which is always wrong. What is not a fallacy is that what you think of others is the small, constant leak of your power and never-ending connection to the unreal. In other words, you cannot know “what YOU are” if you think you possess the mental tools to know someone else.
Life moves without reason or opinion, and its power is vast enough for all that is, whether you get it or not. However, it will elude you entirely if you think you actually “get it.” Stopping your leakage means containing the thought that you have the unique ability to see the leaks in others. All that leakage—what a mess! Do some cleanup on yourself.

Compassion extends beyond your concern for another’s pain, loss, or suffering. Its most generous outreach is when you give way to the reality that you can do nothing to ease it. It is there that you are whole, which others can embrace while letting go.

Truth gets swept into the unimportant and the unnecessary, and you hold the broom that so masterfully does the sweeping. The clear view is not beholden to thought; the only thing needing sweeping is what you believe. Clear your mind, and the house is without the need for sweeping.

If all that is is spiritual (and it is), then any position you take, belief you hold, and judgments you make are no more spiritual than others you disparage. Spirituality has nothing to do with your sense of right but everything to do with your sense of wrong. That is, loving the wrong you compare to your right.
Love and spirituality know no opposites. Do you?
