modern rhyme, a poem

i walked a mile in the rain today. it wasn’t so bad, as they say: when i was a kid those miles of snow sure made walking slow. and if it weren’t for my pride i’d pave prozac to the road – ride high not low. but, is it better now – our load, less?Read the Rest…

Saying No as act of sufficiency

In our business it is easy to be at the beck and call of clients “Can you come on this date?” Of course I can, and I quickly change what was already planned for the day. We are conditioned to say yes for a variety of reasons: In my case, if I say yes IRead the Rest…

where eden is

As much as I think about and practice sufficiency, rarely do I stumble upon it and allow the recognition to flourish before my eyes. Maybe because I am so literal-brained, so needing of evidence that Yes! Sufficiency is the truth. There is enough already for everyone to live comfortably. There has been now for 40 years. The earth does provide. The technology does exist. We are capable of such levels of consciousness and love. This laden berry bush does not need special food and watering and attention. We do not need to toil, to horde, to manipulate, to compete and to fight for our survival. Not anymore. We can rest in the social fabric right next door, rest into the bounty all around us, simply do the next Right Thing to support the web of this sufficient life. Eden does exist. Over the wall and in my backyard and inside my mind and all around. Today, this is my understanding of sufficiency.

Anything can be sacred, I declared in my thinking about this most loving gift of clothes and of facing my fear of shopping.

What are you saying Yes to?

What are you saying No to when you say Yes? We are always saying Yes to something and No to many, manyRead the Rest…

Responsibility and Leadership

Friend and colleague Scott Noelle wrote about “Two Kinds of Responsibility” in his daily reader, in-box delivery. He’s a parenting coach, and his thinking keeps me thinking, about parenting, and today, about leadership. “The word “responsibility” can be confusing because its meaning changes depending on the “active worldview” of the person using it. The oldRead the Rest…
