Divine awareness

A divine awareness permeates every aspect of creation. Even stones have consciousness! But humans are mostly left-brained. A man is a man and a thing is a thing and medicine is mechanical.

The rhythm of love

To be who I am—to breathe from my heels, as Taoist master Chuang Tzu specified—it will be immediately helpful to relinquish past and future. Why? There’s no breath there. No rhythm.

Explosively now

We do not know what needs to be known by remembering it. The truth is astonishing, spontaneous and unrepeatable.

Memories are fine but they have no heartbeat.

Have I told you this already?

It is better to contradict oneself than to repeat oneself.

Beyond a certain age, we lose our capacity for surprise. We use a one-holed flute to play the same old themes. We polish our opinions as a dog licks his testicles.

Whitman: “Do I contradict myself? Very well, then, I contradict myself.”
