    You Are Responsible (opens the original)

    Excerpt

    Read excerpt

    You are responsible’ for most of the things in your life…is often misconstrued.The further you go, the more apparent it is how little you actually control. Or, at least, that should be the case. If it isn’t, I wonder how you have learned to relate to suffering. Perhaps, you haven’t really learned that at all because other things have left you concluding that you know how to avoid suffering. But, the wise know that isn’t really possible. So, the aberration is simply that you think you can.It does

    The Question (opens the original)

    Excerpt

    Read excerpt

    The question we start with is rarely the question we end with.But, a question is a start because the question we start with will inevitably lead to a whole different question, in fact a different kind of question. And, one closer to the ones we really need to be asking.While, conceptually, the question is the same for all of us, it also is unique to each of us.We often don’t ask questions because we don’t really want to know. Among other things, we’re afraid of the work it may require of us. But

    Excerpt

    Read excerpt

    Real Peace (opens the original)

    Excerpt

    Read excerpt

    Where I live, if you were just walking around most times of the day, you would hardly ever have the feeling that anything was in jeopardy. It seems just about as peaceful as things can get. So much so, in fact, it’s a bit counter-intuitive to contemplate the notion that things are more precarious than they appear.For one thing, in society at large, it is fairly well documented that people are riddled with all kinds of anxiety. And among these kinds of anxiety are not just the imagined fears that

    How People's Lives Are Changed, Con't (opens the original)

    Excerpt

    Read excerpt

    Another lingering reflection, on a recent I’m Wondering...:I’m wondering...about how people’s lives are changed.The thing is, in spite of what we’d like to think, we don’t really know how to change someone else’s life (maybe that’s a good thing; after all, we’re not God...). This is probably true because we mostly don
