So thankful for your return. I love your blessed mystical thoughts. Koans,
poems, thoughts for the day, pictures – all are pathways and I love walking there.

Christmas is always a time of excess and while I am a follower of Jesus, he
would not require this of us. I am working on downsizing – smile.

I am so thankful for this post-Christmas koan. Indeed it gives us a place to begin.
Thank you!

For several years now, I have been asking why. The answer I kept getting was it had to be done. The answer is more complete today. The only reason I did not reach the deeper understanding is because I held on to the feeling that I did something wrong. I locked myself in a structure preventing me from reaching the greater wisdom.

Wisdom, truth is never manifested by a single artist. Whitman, Frost, Michelangelo or everyone…never creates alone. Consciousness has no boundaries. Within our earth system, their is a field that every single word that is spoken can be heard. It is referred to as the H band. We are always interacting with this field. Everything we say, all our foul language and our kind words, is there always. To me, this is amazing once I healed my shame and guilt of my contributions to the foul language category and those times I spoke behind someone’s back. As we create, we talk to ourselves,but that voice is the one voice that is all of us. How many of us can push over the vases that keep us stuck and alone?

Thanks Ivan
