Wordless Vision

I suddenly understand the nature of being, the secret of consciousness, the story of time. So there is nothing left to say and no one to say it to. And yet, each day for more than 50 years I awoke not knowing this, and lived my life full of feelings, emotions, memories, and stories. Just […]

Thoughts are everywhere. Thoughts are everything. What does it matter? What does matter? Ancient wisdom keepers know and show us what has always been.

Can I consult my DNA in deep introspection to find continuity in the stories of their many lives? The dream memories I find are not crisp and clear, nor easy, nor alive.

Not to be forgotten, Son of a Crystal

Perhaps dreams allow us to time travel and visit the worlds of our ancestors. Last night my father called me on the phone and told me to come because he was having some trouble with my Grandmother, his Mother, Francis Isabell MacCrystal. Does her name ring a bell? (haha) With a name like that, I am guessing she did […]
