Playing with Matches
Matches are all about power; a new world opens up when you strike a match and see it burst into flames. Most all children go through a period of fascination with matches. I did, my children did, as did most of the kids in the neighbourhood. The taboo of playing with matches has been spoken of and written about countless times in our history.

We didn't find dynamite, so we tried to create it with limited success. We experimented with gasoline and fire. As youngsters, adolescents and teens we were fascinated with the power and energy of these things and are...
Growing Older
Are you growing older less than gracefully? Yeah, me too. There are parts of my body that I forgot I had, suddenly making noises I am not prepared to hear. I guess I should be happy I can still hear, which is not a given, what with exposure to loud music and all that stuff. I seem to remember that my parents made these strange noises at a much younger age though-like in their 40's. The funny noises are multiplied when a bunch of my same-age friends gather together. When we get up after sitting at the table and all make the same noises it just tends to be one of those hilarious moments. At least we can still laugh at ourselves and declare that we have 'become our parents'. Perhaps it has taken us...

We may not yet see it as being so, but whenever unwanted situations come along -- stripping us of some beloved attachment -- it is the operation of one world acting upon another. There is our familiar world, the one we've always known -- who and what we've been, filled with our preferences and possessions -- and acting upon it is a new order of reality whose meaning is unknown at first, but whose secret purpose is to help us awaken to our own higher possibilities. But when in such moments -- moments only these colliding worlds can provide, all we see is our resentment or regret -- we lose sight of this spiritual gift that can be offered to us in no other way. When we are hurt badly, the higher...
