About Me

My photo
All my life I've been a dreamer of dreams,a free spirit,an independent rebel who listens more to the beat of my heart's intuition and the decades of practical experience than to outside influences. Over the years I've taken all the bad with the good, blessing me with an esoteric knowledge of life and an understanding of its purpose, yet still I yearn to learn more. My soul reaches out for something I don't have,don't see, but so desperately need.

The Mystery of Being Alive

Paulo Coelho, in his most recent Warrior of the Light issue, listed an Inventory of Normality , which includes 47 items about what society considers to be normal behavior in everyday life these days. As he points out, all of these situations are absurd, but two in particular caught my eye, for they profoundly illustrate how utterly lacking we are in our search for knowledge about 1) who we really are and why – a search that should be the primary goal in life of each and every one of us – and how we are conditioned (actually brainwashed) by the patriarchy to 2) believe that our own personal religion is the unconditional, inalienable, Truth – and that you are dead wrong about yours. The first item that struck me this way was this one: 9] Comparing objects like cars, houses and clothes, and defining life according to these comparisons instead of really trying to find out the true reason for being alive. In my essay Looking for Felicity on this blog, Paulo explains that this same situa

Seems That Time Has Passed Me By

It's Christmas – a time when some of us do a lot of soul-searching and reflecting in a nostalgic sort of way. And it's not that I feel old; I really don't. I'm in excellent health, comfortable with my life except for obsessing over my Zahir, and I like to think I'm pretty much up to date as a techno-user in this new world of technology and gadgets. Yeah, I've got my computers, my BlackBerry, and I do quite a lot of semi-technical work. But the thing is I don't really enjoy all this hi-tech crap any more, and so much of it seems to me to be entirely unnecessary, or even counter-productive. I think it causes stress in humans, but maybe not in rats. Yesterday my BlackBerry mysteriously lost its Internet service, and between the time it went down and the time my service was restored, I was tense, irritated, sweaty under the arms, and upset with RIM – an outfit that prides itself in its technological expertise. When I finally got to talk to a real person about th

Lonesome Land

Trail's End: Lament to the Lonesome Land ~ a poem by Albert Pendergraft (1894–1944) (revised & edited by Lloyd Albert Williams-Pendergraft) You’re a lonesome land, an empty land A hard land that is rugged and bare You’re a wild and untamed lonesome land A proud land that’s demanding but fair When I pause on some sun-blistered hill And gaze far o’er your broad boundless range Where the brisk restless winds never still And swift sunlight and cloud shadows change There’s a song in my heart and an ache A longing indefinitely sad There’s contentment that sorrow can’t take And my troubles seem gone and I’m glad In the night when the hours slowly pass And a wolf wails her long lonely cry Where the wind whispers low in the grass And the stars circle silently by Your magical spirit holds me fast In a spell that cannot be undone While the days of my lifetime shall last You have blessed me and made me your son Then softl
