We We We

June 21, 2020

Today is also Father’s Day — and since this month’s heart-centered practice is all about shifting out of me-first, me-centered thinking into we-always heart-centered living Love, I want to share how my dad and I have always been a we and always will be a we. . .and why that even matters.

When I was little, my dad was often away from home. He was lecturing about art, he was buying art for Sears, he was making movies with Roger Corman, he was doing this or that television show, he was working on behalf of the Indian Arts & Crafts Board of the US Department of the Interior, he was on this or that TV show, he was writing books and doing book tours. And none of that mattered, because when he was with me, I felt filled with his presence — the presence of Living Love. And when he wasn’t with me, I carried him in my heart. So I still felt filled with the presence of Living Love.

That taught me that Love is what is always present. And that Love is all that matters.

June

June 19, 2020

Today is Juneteenth. A day of promise and hope — promise and hope that the United States did not deliver.

And yet, here we are, still trying.

Here we are, over 150 years later, incrementally acknowledging our failures — and endeavoring to do better.

Here we are still having to say Black and Brown Lives Matter.

Many businesses have declared Juneteenth a holiday.

And so today, instead of writing a long blog, I am going to take a holiday, too. And instead of writing, I’m going to look at how this heart-centered practice of we can contribute to the change I want to be in the world.

Will you join me?
