The hope is that this blog will be a supportive community for those seeking to more fully understand their lives. You are invited to share your own thoughts and experiences as you wish. Here are guidelines for participation:

• Accept that we are all different in many complex ways.

• Be respectful and compassionate with one another.

• This is a forum for thoughtful discussion, questions, and sharing; not debate.

• If you are left unsatisfied unless you think you have scored points, then perhaps this site is not for you.

• Anyone who creates a hostile environment will be privately responded to in the first instance and blocked thereafter if the behavior does not change.

• As my teacher taught me: Be skeptical of everything. See the truth that is in a thing. Reject the rest.

“ It is so good to be simple, simply good-willed, to do the best one can, and in the best way possible; not to build anything very considerable but only to aspire for progress, for light, a peace full of goodwill, and let that which knows in the world decide for you what you will become and what you will have to do.” - The Mother
