Bert and Ernie

Dubie's Thought of the Day:

There is nowhere to escape to; your self is all you'll find.

The only hope to give that stalker the slip is being at home in the present moment.

Thought of the Day June 16, 2026

The power is in the question, not the answer…

Dubie's Thought of the Day:

Building machines to answer questions is a doomed strategy in a society that has forgotten how to ask them.

The result is just the projection of our collective ego onto the world and believing it to be truth.

Even obscured, the sun still shines…

The flower of youth
Is hardest to sniff when we
Imagine it gone

When you understand, all conflict melts away…

Dubie's Thought of the Day:

Writing with venom
We review our own stories
These fabled battles

Dubie's Thought of the Day:

Where has Fawkes gone now?
Hunting chipmunks in the yard
Stillness, stillness POUNCE!

A hazy mountain day in the Berkshires

Dubie's Thought of the Day:

In the humid air
A thunder clap waits to sing
Welcoming the rain

Anticipation
A smothering wet blanket
Makes for a long day

Sir Farley Hambane the Contemplative.

Dubie's Thought of the Day:

No one has any power over you that you don't grant them.

Be free; it is your true nature.

Thought of the Day June 10, 2026

Looking for the way out…

Dubie's Thought of the Day:

Additional billions for cruelty voted for by our “representatives” while cutting programs created to feed and support the most vulnerable.

This is the mark of a failed system ready to serve as the compost for what comes next.

Thought of the Day June 9, 2026

This bed may be a bit too big for Prof. Prittipaus…

Dubie's Thought of the Day:

The equitable distribution of wealth and opportunity is the fastest way to eliminate the need for armed enforcement of property claims.

Thought of the Day June 8, 2026

The sun sets everyday.

Dubie's Thought of the Day:

To abide in the energy that is transforming this very moment is mindfulness.

Happiness is the ability to see that transformation as a gift.

Thought of the Day June 7, 2026

Friends chatting in their moss garden.

Dubie's Thought of the Day:

Given the state of the world, it would be easy to see humans as awful creatures bent on destruction.

What is closer to the truth is that there are a few folks out there stomping around blinded by their insecurities hoarding all of the toys trying to convince the rest of us that their folly is the height of civilization.

Thought of the Day June 6, 2026

Dubie's Thought of the Day:

Life isn't a set of achievements to be protected and carried along; it is the gift of each moment as it arrives.

Loosen your grip, there is nothing to hold on to.

Professor Prittipaus says it’s all going to be just fine…

Thought of the Day June 5, 2026

Lanterns in the dark…

Dubie's Thought of the Day:

Focus on being skillful with every step and let the destination take care of itself.

Thought of the Day June 4, 2026

Even a crooked path leads you home.

Dubie's Thought of the Day:

Cool transpiration
Falling ever so gently
From emerald leaves;
Carried on a warm breeze
Glinting in the filtered light
Of an afternoon sun.
Wonder flowing through stillness
Happiness emerging from gratitude;
A gift for the slow moving
Easily missed at any speed.

A blooming lotus at LaBelle

Dubie's Thought of the Day:

Growing plants is an excellent lesson in restraint. To be successful you must be curious about what they are telling you and let go of what you “know".

The dropped leaves, the bounty of blossoms are all messages communicating how to love them; what you think they need is irrelevant and any attempt to apply one system to all is a sure path to failure.

Humans are a lot like plants.

Today's Intention: Restraint
