A living metaphor is a ritual where we become one with the object, whether it’s a movie, sport, battle, a dialogue with a friend, love, or a standup comic, whatever; when we become one with it and no longer feel split and in exile from the world, that is a living metaphor.
The Living Eucharist
How can we find the sacred in our everyday world? How can we have communion with the present moment and feel real. Is the Eucharist just in the past or it is the sacred door through which we can enter.
The Ferret is Alive
What makes you laugh? How about a Ferret or Pride and Joy. How about a big fish martini glass. What is a Zen Satori in a business card? All these and more.
Time for the timeless
What is play but the timeless. What is best friends but the timeless. What is romantic love but the timeless. What is creativity but the timeless. Why be seriously at play, be playfully at play and be joyous instead of sad. Life is play. Life is timeless. Enter into that and be free.
The old pond
Getting Hai on Ku. Looking at Basho haiku The Old Pond. What is the old pond and why does the frog jump? What is Plop? Can you jump out of your old pond? Can you just leap into life and go PLOP? A Plot is an sudden insight, an Aha moment that connects all the dots and ends a disconnection with reality.
