Dubie’s Thought of the Day:

I offer my thoughts
To the singing birds of spring.
Blossoms emerging.

Pink Blossoms…

Dubie's Thought of the Day:

A home run is always a happy moment no matter who hits it.

The beauty is found in the chaos.

The deep sea is still
Beneath the cloudless blue sky
As the waves dance on.

The only home we’ll ever know…

Durable Happiness is found in fearless openness to your life, not in the avoidance of the experiences it brings.

Accept all that comes and contribute all that you can.

I Find It Difficult to Write

(Guest Post From Mac)

It is hard to write these days. 

At least in a public way.  

Surrounded by demands to be afraid

Outraged at every turn 

AI 

Wars

Gas prices 

Masked secret police executing peaceful protesters

the end of democracy, 

our economy, 

no jobs, 

no hope, 

holy fuck… 

Pepper spray is the only sweetness to be found in this rose.  

Manifesting a veracious appetite for peace and well being

social media sprang into being.  

Conflict without end.  

All consuming.  

All co-opting.  

One goal to be gained from an ever decreasing source.  

Terror and hate monetized.  

We have become the grass, the cow, and the hearty steak on the billionaires’ plate.

Tax the rich, 

eat the poor, 

comply with the oligarchy and their badge festooned monks of violent coercion.  

Are you from here? 

Do you have a job?  

In what ways are you available for exploitation?

AI will end your career!  

Better learn how to use AI!  

Your intelligence isn’t valuable anymore when it comes to my profit.

8 million people in the streets asking politely for a few crumbs and the illusion of respect.  

8 million people sacrifice their weekends to make sure they don’t sacrifice their owner’s margin.

Enslaved to fiction we toil in fear.  

Enslaved to convenience we eschew our freedom.  

Enslaved by valueless expressions of merit we gather dollars, 

Focused on escaping the misery of the effort.  

What the fuck is going on?  

Chaos is the unavoidable condition. 

Control the source of suffering.  

Drip drip drip the water rises.  

Drip drip drip the chamber fills.  

How will we breathe if we can’t walk away?  

How can we walk away if this is our only path?  

How can we see the open field unless we wake up 

and end this dream?

How can we learn to write again 

When the only place we can start from is here?

Dubie's Thought of the Day:

The power of humanity doesn't come from our ability to answer questions, but from our desire to ask them.

Snuggles in the thinking seat…

Dubie's Thought of the Day:

Peace is the ability to say, “this path is mine and i would wish for no other.”

The bright dawn shines through.

Dubie's Thought of the Day:

Fuck it, just let go
Do not be pushed. This is
Yours. Complete it…

Dubie's Thought of the Day:

If it isn't happiness, what else could possibly be the point?

The Buddha and the Beastie.

Thought of the Day March 28, 2026

Dubie’s Thought of the Day:

Blows of a teacher's

Staff. A lesson not yet learned

Probed by awareness

Doubt a faded bruise

The tender mark of once was;

Pain is remembered

The blossom cut off

Springs into view; blink once.

The world is renewed.

And off we go…

Thought of the Day March 27, 2026

Dubie’s Thought of the Day:

With nowhere to stand you can’t dig yourself out of a cloud, but you can let it float away.

There is happiness in this very moment.

Thought of the Day March 26, 2026

Dubie’s Thought of the Day:

Ash accumulates

The residue of practice 

Dusty feet rinsed clean 

A sunrise never to be seen again.

Thought of the Day March 25, 2026

Dubie's Thought of the Day:

You can't have a better world without giving up this one. Loss is the gateway to the future.

Paw prints in a dusting of snow.

Thought of the day March 24, 2026

Dubie's Thought of the Day:

The view impeded
We seek a sharper focus.
Our lenses are thieves.

Each narrow spectrum
Only a hint of rainbow.
What is left unseen?

Orchids Cascading…

Dubie's Thought of the Day:

When you limit the paths of exploration it stops being education and becomes indoctrination.

Off into the mist…
