The Magnificent Seven
Rocket Man
in memoriam: The Challenger Shuttle crew
set their sites high and lived a life worth living.
She packed my bags last night pre-flight
Zero hour nine a.m.
And I’m gonna be high as a kite by then
I miss the earth so much I miss my wife
It’s lonely out in space
On such a timeless flight
And I think it’s gonna be a long long time
Till touch down brings me round again to find
I’m not the man they think I am at home
Oh no no no I’m a rocket man
Rocket man burning out his fuse up here alone
Mars ain’t the kind of place to raise your kids
In fact it’s cold as hell
And there’s no one there to raise them if you did
And all this science I don’t understand
It’s just my job five days a week
A rocket man, a rocket man
And I think it’s gonna be a long long time…
Music by Elton John
Lyrics by Bernie Taupin

A Place Beyond Ideas
The year 2002 is ready to leave. This numerical sequence won’t happen again for a thousand years. What will the world be in 3003? While the future is intoxicating, awareness of the present moment is the key to understanding both the past and what is to come. The answer is found in things transcendental, things mysterious and as yet unexplained, things beyond thought, ideas, and concepts—a nursery where creation has its place.
“I do not propose to write an ode to dejection,
but to brag as lustily
as chanticleer in the morning,
standing on his roost,
if only to wake my neighbors up.”
—from the cover of Henry Thoreau’s book, Walden

No Turning Back
"Once the soul awakens, the search begins and you can never go back. From then on, you are inflamed with a special longing which will never again let you linger in the lowlands of complacency and partial fulfillment. The eternal makes you urgent. You are loath to let compromise or the threat of danger hold you back from striving towards the summit of fulfillment.”
—John O?Donohue,
Anam Cara: Spiritual Wisdom from the Celtic World

The Choices We Make
The power to choose is one of the gifts and responsibilites in this incarnation. Choice is to make a decision and that decision leads you in a direction, which can be positive, or not. Is it this road or that road? If you don’t know which road, then you are lost. And when you are lost, it makes sense to ask how do I get there from here. The key here is know who is giving the directions.
People want freedom. Most often, however, they don’t have a grasp of the nature of freedom. Most folks think money is freedom.

The Mask of Society
The widely held notion is that people hide behind masks. Costume events are popular for good reason.
Masks can be a liberating experience, revealing the inner being, not hiding her. How about doing so without a mask, without veneer, without fear?
