The rain pours down from the heavens, making everyone and everything that lies beneath it wet with its being. Of course, you can position yourself inside under a funnel and imagine that you are the only one receiving it. That you are special. That you are the only one except for those who gather there with you. But you’re not. Are you? For the rain falls on all. All beings. All things. It aimlessly falls on everyone and... Read more

Whenever I felt that our obedience to or admiration of a leader was too great, this explanation was always used… that we were serving God, not the person in authority who was benefiting from it. Most people seem to buy it. Some don’t. Unfortunately, these poor guys buy it and are working their butts off for it. Happy Labour Day! Purchase the original drawing or a print of this cartoon!

You’ve heard the expression “There are no atheists in foxholes.” Which means that everybody under extreme threat will seek out a divine power to intervene and save them.

Here’s how you can generally tell the difference: when you are abused you feel like something’s wrong, but you tend to blame yourself; and when you are genuinely persuaded you feel that something just went right, and you tend to feel better about yourself. I share more personal stories about this over at my... Read more
You’ll look up and down streets. Look ’em over with care. About some you will say, “I don’t choose to go there.” With your head full of brains and your shoes full of feet, you’re too smart to go down any not-so-good street. And you may not find any you’ll want to go down. In that case, of course, you’ll head straight out of town. It’s opener there, in the wide open air.. ……. Based on Dr. Seuss’s final book... Read more
