Here’s what’s significant. We all want the same things. To not suffer and to be happy. That puts us on the same boat. Sometimes we get what we want. But usually not. Even if we could be among the few who got what we wanted when we wanted it, that wouldn’t be enough. It’s never enough. All of the accumulations of the “worldly concerns” yield no solution to our dilemma of suffering. So what does? What will end suffering for beings such as ourselves? There are paths that lead to the cessation of suffering. Knowing this, what do you want to do?

My little Gizmo. Taking care of him has really been my saving grace the past few years. He never used to allow anyone to touch him. But he’s so sweet and loving. I have to pick him up for everything the past couple of years. He no longer jumps. Best little guy ever.

Had a nice talk w an old friend in recovery this afternoon. Really grounded me in knowing that the work I’m doing is important. Went out to the beach to say hello to it and meditate a moment. For the new year, this wish for all of us: May every sunset bring new peace. May every sunrise bring new promise.

Life is Magick. Love is Magick. Our journey is sacred. Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law. Let the law be love. Let the love be light. Let every moment be creation 🙏🏻

Writing and coding lab. Special keyboard to prevent carpal tunnel. Dual monitors, one to prevent eye strain. These were all supplied to me in a special training program. As soon as I finish this book rewrite, I’ll use this setup in Mexico to master Data Analytics and hopefully get a much better income happening. For today it’s all about the editing.

Yeah the heart needs what the heart needs but the soul will feed on what the soul needs

just remember what contempt breeds and the words that you heed, how everything plants seeds and all your intentions breed actions, which hatch those karmic seeds.
Make moves with love, otherwise everybody bleeds and that’s not what a soul needs.
Now is it?
Walk with love in the place where you dwell, not some marketing scheme or projections to sell.
Rather, be well. You never can tell.
Rise up to the sky don’t fall backwards down a well that you know is hell.
No, be well.
Bring kindness with your words, bring trust w your gaze
wake up and bring your best don’t hide behind the haze.
How you spend your days?
Manage to find ways to relieve the malaise. Send praise.
Touch with Magick and a gentle hand. When you see confusion try to understand.
We all want to be loved, no one needs to suffer
You don’t need to avoid
Or scramble to find a buffer
You don’t need to be tougher
Yeah the soul needs what the soul needs so give the heart something good on which to feed. Let compassion be the thing you breed. Plant those seeds.
Peace.

They say time is of the essence
But what isn’t?
In the essence of our real nature
All phenomena manifest
Pain and suffering
Joy and beauty
Are all in and of the essence
It’s said that if we recognize this
Contemplate it
And learn to dwell in this awareness
We will remain forever free
May your heart and mine be free right now and forever always
OM AH HUM
