eThoughts : Holiday Grace, 2004

Maybe the reason, if there is such a thing, that we’ve manufactured more control than we have […]

eThoughts : About Curtains, Levers, and Wizards
Amusement parks can be vastly entertaining–we get to watch all the freaks (uh, that would be us as well), assault our bodies with all kinds of suspect rides, take our chances to win a bobble or two (or some bigger-than-truck-sized stuffed animal), and indulge in the gastronomic cuisine (fried Twinkies, fried Snickers Bars?). And we […]

eThoughts : Voting, Freedom, and Choice
It’s voting season again–a time to exercise our freedom of choice and contribute the decisions that guide our fate. Hmmm. Don’t get me wrong, I’m generally in favor of democracy. And I’m generally in favor of freedom of choice. I’m just not sure there’s a standard application or definition for democracy or freedom of choice. […]

eThoughts : Starting With Ourselves and Our Neighborhoods
One of the first places we can start is in our communities, among neighbors. What if in each and every neighborhood we gathered together to raise our concerns for and about living around each other? What if we emphasized genuineness as an agenda? What if we set aside first impressions or old impressions and we […]

eThoughts : The 1960s: Illusion and Promise
The 60s, in some way lasting until the end of the 70s, were an interesting and important time as I see it. Yes, it was a bipolar era, full of promise and ruined, I think, by illusion. The inherent idea was about awareness, about higher consciousness, about learning and community–about evolving into a humanity of […]

eThoughts : Gestalt, Figure/Grounds, and Forgiveness
Sometime around the age of 14, when I was camping in the Sierra Nevada Range, I left our camp about an hour before sunset to make a nature run. I did not walk far, but apparently I was not paying attention. This went against the training I received, but a walk to relieve myself was […]

eThoughts : Chakras, Chi, and Chitty Chitty, Bang Bang
I have been away recently, to Georgia in fact, and to a little resort that is supposed to be peaceful. Actually it was, with one little exception–barking dogs. Now this noise intrusion is not on the same scale as it is where I live, but it is still a noise intrusion, and it is quite […]

eThoughts : Awareness, Experience, Grace, and Creation
I went to a wedding today and afterwards I came home and watched the movie Tuesdays with Morrie, based on a book written by Mitch Albom. My oldest daughter gave me the book to read about a month ago, but I’ve not done it yet–having forgotten about it in the midst of a lot of […]
