Montana — Now and Then

Met someone on Facebook whom I had known as a child in my hometown of Malta.  It took me about three days to actually remember her, mostly through association with her maiden name, which I’m sure she included as an assist to memory.
Her mother had been my piano teacher in my youngish years, and her [...]

Got The Time? Are You Sure?

There appears to be a complete breakdown of time measurement in my room today.
Last evening I returned home, tired and hungry, from a cat sitting assignment that lasted a week.  After eating I simply collapsed, waking at 3 a.m. to get out of my day clothes and into my night clothes.  So it must have [...]

Already There

I suspect the notion that we have ‘lessons’ to be learned here on Classroom Earth is another ploy of the false ego (the MeMeMeMeMe) in its eternal quest to be the Be All and End All of our lives.
What if, instead, we are already finished, already perfect?*  If that were so, how would your attitude [...]

Ms. Zellweger, desperately driving somewhere she was never going [...]

Quality of Life

All our troubles come about as a result of us thinking/believing that we are not loved. Add Love to the mix and our Point of View changes radically (literally, meaning from the root).
We can’t ‘fix’ anything to get the result of being loved. The notion of ‘fix’ comes from the wrong place, a [...]

Today

Today, 7/26/09
Well, I’m learning the secret to sleeping enough in this heat – eye mask and ear plugs. I turn the air conditioning off about midnight, the fan’s been going since noon, and that continues until about 6 a.m., aimed at my almost-bare and unblanketed body. So, even though I’m in the sleep [...]
