The Ongoing War

Nevil Shute is one of my favorite authors.  I’ve reread his books more than once.  Except for his most famous book “On the Beach.”  Many people think that that book, and the subsequent movie, are why we haven’t destroyed ourselves … Continue reading

September 1995: What it’s like to suffer from PTSD, when you don’t know that’s what it is.

(Written in September 1995) It’s grey and damp outside.  Yesterday when it was grey, I hoped that would stop the planes, but they flew anyway.  They weren’t loud but they were frequent, and I’m pretty much ground down by it … Continue reading

September 1998: The Story You “Haven’t Told Yet”, the WHOLE story

Another gem from converting old journals.  This must have been written after the retreat with Deena Metzger.  A lot of the writing was done in the retreat, but some of it was done elsewhere.  It’s a different way of looking … Continue reading

Tracy Nelson

This is via a group called Christians Tired of Being Misrepresented.  I really like what Tracy has to say.  She’s talking about the Jesus I believe in, even though I’m a Buddhist and a Pagan.  I firmly believe that Jesus … Continue reading

Guidance
