We are only here to learn. All that exists is wisdom

“It all turns out, you know,” I said to my little self. “We are only here to learn. All that exists is wisdom.” — Jeff Olsen

The things we experience here and the truths we take to heart from those experiences are all that really matter. They are the wisdom we get to keep. — Jeff Olsen

Crescent Sun

Partial eclipse while on the way to Wilmington, Delaware, 15:24 and 15:28 EST.

Going through the motions
Walking round the car
We’ve traveled many miles
Though not so very far
When I check the side view mirror
I think of you my dear
You’re always very close
Closer than you appear
And you’d say
Are we there yet?
As we drive into the sun
We are almost there my love
My innocent one
I find my mind wandering
Back down this old road
In my trusty time machine
My thoughts on overload
Child of mine your light still shines
Where did the time go?
It’s here there and everywhere
Always fast and never slow
And you’d say

Are we there yet?
As we drive into the sun
We are almost there my love
My innocent one
A picture perfect moment
A moment we could share
Laughter from the back seat
We’re always almost there

And you’d say
Are we there yet?
As we drive into the sun
We are almost there my love my innocent one
A picture perfect moment
A moment we could share
Laughter from the back seat
We’re always almost there
We’re always almost there

Homecoming

Namaste — The Universe in me recognizes the Universe in you.

“WHEN WE LOOK deeply into our fear, we see the desire for permanence. We’re afraid of change. Our anger, our fear, our despair are born from our wrong perceptions, from our notions of being and nonbeing, coming and going, rising and falling. If we practice looking deeply, we find out that these notions cannot be applied to reality. We can touch our true nature, we can touch the ultimate dimension, and this brings about nonfear. When we trust that insight of no birth and no death, joy becomes possible every moment of our life. ”
