If you talk about things you have not experienced, you are wasting your and other people’s time. As you continue the practice of looking deeply, you will see this more and more clearly, and you will save a lot of paper and publishing enterprises and have more time to enjoy your tea and live your daily life in mindfulness. Thich Nhat Hahn
July 27 sunrise smiling down on me at Point Dume.
Ultimately we get to choose. Choosing to be safe ain’t it. We’re here for a nano-second and in that nano-second we get to choose great. We get to shine great. Thank you Spirit for this nano-second called my life. No it may not be important to write this stuff down. But it is the job I accepted. And so I sit here and write until this page is filled up. Just because. Like I took that picture of the sun this morning. Just because. It may not really have smiled at me but I’ll write down that maybe it did. Just because.

Can’t just keep writing this stuff. Yes I can. Yes I will. Yes I do. Yes I am….simply me with this job that may never make sense to others. But I can’t even know that if I don’t get out/ let it out/ put it out there.

When we are striving to live an empowered life, our every choice is important. Even the color of the clothes we wear for the day can affect us and the people around us. Certainly the attitude we choose to face the day and the people around us has an effect. Life itself is a choice. The choice of life is one we make every day whether we realize it or not. Every action we take either supports life, or not. We are the only ones who can make a difference - by each and every choice we make …Marie T. Russell
6:01am sunrise spectacular at Point Dume in Malibu.
We are all like electrons dancing around a nucleus. We can only be seen within our bandwidth. From a smaller perspective we huge and from far away, we’re tiny – too far and we become invisible. Yet in my own mind I am the nucleus and oh so significant. NOT. And that may be my greatest comfort. I don’thave to be any bigger of better than I already am.
...I’ll die one day and the day after that the sun will rise. And then one day the sun will die too, transformed into a supernova. And the day after that, as each and every day before, countless suns will rise over countless planets and beings, known only in our imaginations.
5:58am sunrise! on 59th Street at Edgemar in LA.
Time to get interesting. Now or never. Write to complete this page. Not letting that blank page intimidate me, oh no. Fill it, fill it, fill it. Then hand the script off to the next one. So some others may get that they are the writer, actor, director and producer of their lives.
......No man (or woman) ever achieved worth-while success who did not, at one time or other, find himself with at least one foot hanging well over the brink of failure. …Napoleon Hill

Thursday Lose this mindset that I wasn’t good enough then. That I’m not good enough now toshare my sunrises with or without pearls attached. “Not not good enough” is a pearl in itself. The pearl of the day. I make it all up and so I need only breathe to bring myself back to this 21st day of July 2016. This day I am so privileged to be and to write about being – human.

5:57 sunrise! from Marine at 4th Street where I could hear the waves crashing several blocks away for the first time in the 10 years I've been coming here.
Thought I lost my Droid for a time there. Seeing that I am connected always, whether I have the Droid or not. It’s just a tool for connection, not connection itself.....
....It is God's play of light and shadow that has made certain creation appear as it does to us. When you realize this, you see it as a dream motion picture. ..Paramahansa Yogananda

Spirit called. I said yes. Didn’t know where it was going then. Don’t know where it’s going now. And I say yes.
...The best is yet to be. … Robert Browning
5:57 NOT at the Malibu Pier. Barrelled through the 405 detour to the 90 to Lincoln to PCH to get here.
Watched “San Andreas” last night with Florentine. Seeing all those buildings crumble as archetype. Somehow, one way or another, our structures may crumble. And the message is – Go to Higher Ground.

Forgot to bring my sparkly green baseball cap to Choir for my Rock Star outfit. Really resisted being a Rock Star. Yearning and burning all these years to BE a rock star. Just don’t want to get caught with my yearnings and burnings out.
.....In the light of a truly freed mind no prejudice can disguise itself as zeal, no bullying can masquerade as leadership, no pettiness can pose as importance. The freed mind will never confuse a sentimentality with a true emotion, an act of violence with an act of heroism, a slogan with a cause. Men and women with freed minds may often be mistaken, but they are seldom fooled. They may be influenced, but they can't be intimidated. They may be perplexed, but they will never be lost… Robert F. Kennedy

This is the way aging goes. I’m not broken, just advancing. Letting go of the illusion that I must make things happen.
....Rewriting separates the men from the boys. The first draft is love. The second is sex. The third is fun. The rest are all pulling teeth. Getting that seventh draft done is like dropping your beautiful vase on the floor and trying to glue all the million little pieces together to make it look good again. …Matthew Sand

At some point in life, there may be pressure to be what one is not. The opportunity then is to takea stand for what’s in you even if, especially when Daddy doesn’t like it.
.....The problem with “You should be doing better,” is that we become convinced that we don’t naturally excel or strive, seek or care. We come to believe that without tyrannical exhortation nothing good or excellent would ever happen. It is a lie. We are made to excel, strive, seek and care. If excelling, striving, seeking and caring were punished by death, we would do it anyway . ..John Anderson, Ph.D

Perhaps it’s time to resurrect “How to Find the Soul (Using Your Dirty Mind). John deLancie said my movie was improbable. And so it is. It’s about a dream and may have to go beyond improbable to nearly impossible. Thank you, John deLancie. Don’t review. Don’t revise. Don’t rehearse. Just release.
....Dream lofty dreams. In moments of meditation, when you get lost in the joy of what you long to be, you are ascending to the heavens of your own mind. ..Joseph Murphy
