What would you write even if no one ever read it? Do not write simply to write. Write as an extension of yourself, as an expression of your unique self and experience. Write, then admire what you wrote. Admire what you write, regardless of how you could have written it better. Communicating yourself through your writing can be hindered by focusing too much on technique. Technique is your servant, not you the servant of technique. You are a creator, create, and enjoy the process and outcome.(less)

Inclusion... Drinking from Two Wisdom Wells

Inclusion is not the erasing of different values, quality, or truthfulness. That would be like saying anyone who can write plays is a Shakespear, anyone who can paint is a Monet, and two plus two can be four or ten or three-hundred. Inclusive entails being honest about where we agree and disagree. Inclusion means saying some religious teachings are like my singing and some like Frank Sinatra singi Read more of this blog post »

100 Love Sonnets by Pablo Neruda
“I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where. I love you simply, without problems or pride: I love you in this way because I do not know any other way of loving but this, in which there is no I or you, so intimate that your hand upon my chest is my hand, so intimate that when I fall asleep your eyes close.”
Pablo Neruda
Still Another Day by Pablo Neruda
“We the mortals touch the metals,
the wind, the ocean shores, the stones,
knowing they will go on, inert or burning,
and I was discovering, naming all the these things:
it was my destiny to love and say goodbye.”
Pablo Neruda

[Reread] Eckhart was outside his time, for sure. He was a non-fit. It got him into trouble with the Catholic establishment, as it did with Matthew Fox.

Fox does a good job of rendering Eckhart for us. One could take any one of these meditations and r

Quotes by Brian K. Wilcox  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“By being submerged again and again, one progressively takes upon himself or herself the scent, we could say, of the perfume of Presence. This happens, though one is often not aware; others may notice this, even when the one on this path of submerging is not aware of how subtly he or she is taking on the likeness of loving Beingness. Indeed, one becomes less aware of changes through meditation the more this process continues, becoming less attached to results and less self-conscious about his or her spiritual practice. One may even come to think of meditation as not meditation, rather simply going through a process, for example, of sitting quietly and receptively for a time each day.
*Brian K. Wilcox. "Soaking ~ Perfume of Presence," 5.24.18.”

“We were together. I forget the rest.”
Walt Whitman

“I do this real moron thing, and it's called thinking. And apparently I'm not a very good American because I like to form my own opinions.”
George Carlin

“I am alone in the midst of these happy, reasonable voices. All these creatures spend their time explaining, realizing happily that they agree with each other. In Heaven's name, why is it so important to think the same things all together. ”
Jean-Paul Sartre, Nausea

“Telling an introvert to go to a party is like telling a saint to go to Hell.”
Criss Jami, Killosophy

“I would rather sit on a pumpkin, and have it all to myself, than be crowded on a velvet cushion.”
Henry David Thoreau
