In God's House.

In God's House Surrounded by the sun, moon and stars, the Earth and the ocean waves, the pillars of civilization and the remnants of all that has been, the human being sits within the womb of self and wonders whose house he is occupying in this unknowable universe.

The Accumulation of Memory

The Accumulation of Memory It’s three in the morning and I can’t sleep. I am overcome by my memories. I notice that I am not generating my thoughts, but that they descend upon me, consuming my attention and blocking awareness of the immediate surroundings.  I am so focused on the stories and recollections that it is as if I am under a huge pile of mental debris, the accumulated images of the past. With one deep breath, and a shift of perspective to the space I am actually in, the overwhelming past disappears.
