When I consider the vastness of existence and my limited influence, I’m struck by the futility and inherent pointlessness.  Ironically, this frees me to choose my own meaning, since any meaning behind reality seems completely unknowable.

Improbable dreams catch my attention, luring me forward with novelty and wonderment. Personally, I find relief in moving toward them every day (it can be a small step, as long as it’s a step), and abiding in the idea that all will be well no matter what. Because many of my dreams have come undone,…

The best way to write is to focus on truth as you see it. All that other stuff—humility, knowledge, experience—that’s supposed to inform your writing is really about focusing on truth as you see it.  And since it is a universal law that the truth as you see it will evolve and grow, so will…

Relaxing into the conviction that I’m taken care of seems to result in better outcomes.  But if that conviction eludes me, then I relax into the conviction that everything passes, including me.  Whatever’s bothering me will dim and fade. Which is another way of saying I’m taking care of.  Apparently, it’s inescapable. Get Kor’Thank here: …

In my opinion, “inner stillness” doesn’t lead to inaction.  It leads to action from the best/deepest part of you, which shines all the clearer from your lack of interference.

I use to dismiss the importance of feelings, but I’ve since changed my mind.  Even at a practical level, they have incredible importance.  They control health and perception, which is a direct influence on how much energy I’m allowed to generate (health) and the ability to see where it can do the most possible good…
