  • Soul Purpose Ramblings

    A question I’ve grappled with for over a year now is this: Do we humans have a Soul Purpose? If you’re reading these words you are aware that we are eternal energetic beings temporarily immersed in this dense physical realm. Related to that truth, I have come to believe (believe, not know) that the reason…

  • Inner Stillness

    The term “inner stillness” came to me during an early morning meditation a couple months ago, and it has stuck with me ever since. It aligns with presence, the mindless state, identifying with or as the eternal consciousness rather than the temporary human, being the observer instead of the thinker, and so on. But for…

  • Tarpon Moon

    It was a windless night on the bay. He sat in a folding chair, fishing rod in one hand, bottle of whiskey in the other, staring into the full moon’s rippling reflection. He wondered what the moon actually was. It clearly wasn’t what he’d been taught in school. Could it be true, as he’d heard…

  • Two Minutes Left

    She was ripped out of the damaged hull, and he was sucked out right after. They tumbled through the sky and the wind roared around them. She screamed. He dove toward her and wrapped her in his arms. “This is it, baby,” he said, grinning. “We’re about to be out of here.” She was stunned…

  • Foundational Questions about Life and Reality

    This post is a preview of what’s to come on the site over the next few months, and as I cover each topic I’ll link each post to the questions I ask below. I’m going to question some of the most basic, foundational ideas we all think we know. Ideas we’ve been convinced are the…

  • Connecting with Your Soul

    My main spiritual focus over the last several months has been consciously connecting with my Soul. You may think of your Soul as spirit guides, the Holy Spirit, your higher self, or any number of monikers. I think it’s just slightly different conceptions of the same thing, but I like using the term “Soul”. The…

  • A Leaf’s Final Dance

    In the middle of the end of autumn, I lay on my back in the soft blanket of fallen leaves coating the forest floor and looked up at the oaks and the maples, who were mostly undressed. Each time the air whispered its secrets to them and to the birds and to me, dozens of light yellow…

  • Resistance and Connecting the Dots

    Usually we’re unable to connect the dots of our lives until certain events have been over for a while, especially bad events. But I’m sure there are instances in your life that were unpleasant or downright terrible at the time, but in retrospect, you can see that some of the things you love most about your…

  • Living Creatively

    As I’ve been listening to The Power of Now on loop in my car and reading Creativity: Unleashing the Forces Within before bed, I’ve noticed that many of the ideas overlap. I’d like to share one of those ideas with you. This idea has, just in the last few days, brought great joy into my life. The…

  • Two Years

    I was lying in bed last night reading after a long day of work, and it occurred to me that it has been around two years since I started this site. So I opened my computer to check the date of the first post of this site and the date is 11-7-12. Today is the two-year anniversary of…
