‘Please hold the handle down for a count of four.’ Thus read the sign above the toilet at The Rocky Mountain Vipassana Meditation Retreat in Elbert, Colorado. Upon first glance I had little idea what gravity I would associate with such a sign. For as it turned out, these short words were some of the [ READ MORE ]

Conduit

the blue of the horizon is the planting of my foot.  the journey of the stars in the medicine of my crown.  as the lotus opens from the muck the one rhythmic breath continues just the same.  as its petals wilt we go around and around.  decay and then blossom.  exhale and then inhale.  within [ READ MORE ]

Art

art is a tool, a means to bring us into perfect spiritual equilibrium in the moment.  when we no longer strive to connect with the divine but recognize it as present in the tip of the mind’s tongue or in the graphite of a pencil or in the space between breaths we realize that all [ READ MORE ]

Dannyboy’s Theory (Where We Are Going and Why It Smells the Way It Does) From Jitterbug Perfume Tom Robbins To put it simply, humankind is about to enter the floral stage of its evolutionary development. On the mythological level, which is to say, on the psychic/symbolic level (no less real than the physical level), this [ READ MORE ]

Temporary Autonomous Zone

‘to shed all the illusory rights and hesitations of history demands the economy of some legendary stone age-shamans not priests, bards not lords, hunters not police, gatherers of paleolithic laziness, gentle as blood, going naked for a sign or painted as birds, poised on the wave of explicit presence, the clockless nowever.’ – hakim bey[ READ MORE ]

Still Wandering

the moonlit drama of unconscious narrative has been pointing out dissonance where it lies. duly noted. the dream is my my talking to my me. i give thanks to the possessors of a similar double helix for providing the perennial tests needed to dive deeper into the study of self. my #2 pencil yearns to [ READ MORE ]

Crystalline

observations of ingrained responses to stimuli point the maglite of inquisition on pavlovian conditioning. with an elevated eye and a propensity to detach from the reality of these responses we take the high road. although the inertia needed to stay here requires more existential steam, the supply of water to throw on the coals seems [ READ MORE ]

Script

cognitive ways and means smell like a half cooled pie sliding its way onto the dinner table. lost in the excitement of then the impurity of now begs for acknowledgment. guiding the pie along its last leg to edibility requires a stream of integral air. the truth lies in the path of least resistance………..quality pokes [ READ MORE ]

One

there’s a noun behind my eyes. it’s a veritable noun. reaching for it is the same as touching it. the noun behind my eyes is a bridge. a new rung is fastened to the scaffolding with every visit. the walkway leads in 5 dimensions. the noun behind my eyes is the shape of things to [ READ MORE ]

The Map

the wheels turn and the fingers twitch as if they want to join the fun. the mind’s tongue searches for a way to make the word match the real. or does the real match the word? tastes good or tastes good? each word each symbol a criss crossing map zig zagging down the path of [ READ MORE ]

Here We Are

each moment passes with the opportunity to cognize differently. to act instead of react. to rethink, to reframe. enantiadromic envisages engender extraordinary energies. here we are. veils of illusion begin to drop away. murmurs of blood trickle into dormant neural pathways. prickling pain is only the awakening of an asleep foot. cognitive backlash is only [ READ MORE ]

Obama’s Big Sellout

i urge those of you who haven’t read this article to give it a go. insightful and well-researched…. Barack Obama ran for president as a man of the people, standing up to Wall Street as the global economy melted down in that fateful fall of 2008. He pushed a tax plan to soak the rich, [ READ MORE ]

Punch Rolling

the universe sends a challenge.  accepting is like granting the sun permission to rise.  i take the passive active role.  treading over puzzle pieces with a steamroller of intent.  making lemonade.  jigsawing invisible architecture.  whatever can happen will happen?  eh?  awareness of awareness sends trickles of free choice down the chasm of sushumna, ida and [ READ MORE ]

Union

uniting the seer and the seen the yogi comes away from emotions of aversion and craving and forges a trail for unexpected insights to come whispering or even screaming from the caverns of self.  building a mental dexterity to flow in spirit as in movement.  experiencing extremes from an unbiased and observational point of view [ READ MORE ]

Today

and the laps.  the day rolls its cheek off the pillow with fresh creases and marks.  snow re-elementizes the projection of a life under control.  rhythm and harmony with a side of studders and dissonance.  the breaking point…tipping.  today i lap on crackling fire[ READ MORE ]

Musings of the Untamed

Welcome to the electronic manifestation of my ascent (or is it descent) from the universal soup into the human lens.........brought to you in part by the entity known as consciousness. Promotional consideration provided by love. Here you will find a half-hearted at worst anthology of reflections pertaining to the times we co-inhabit. You will also discover a splattering of musings from moonbeams and monitor tan sessions, including some digital media which may or may not churn the milk of existence into butter. Please do enjoy. Please do. Really.

I honor the place in you in which the entire universe dwells. I honor the place in you which is of integrity, wisdom, understanding and peace. When you are in that place in you and I am in that place in me, We Are One.
Namaste
