conversations @ the real zoo: January 2008
http://therealzoo.blogspot.com/2008_01_01_archive.html
Friday, January 18, 2008. My own private utopia. The change is happening…the source of my wanting to live comes from not wanting to live for myself but to live my life for my family. May it be so, and may the One who leads the prisoners out keep my eyes and heart open to the Love that is right here! May I be fully present today and tomorrow! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

conversations @ the real zoo: a new venture?
http://therealzoo.blogspot.com/2007/07/new-venture.html
Sunday, July 22, 2007. A good barometer to determine whether something will be of benefit materially, is whether it is the proper thing to do spiritually. A business venture that implies breaking your moral principles will also be detrimental materially. At times, we experience tremendous pressure when our ethics seem to stand in the way of success - but this is only an illusion. The spiritual and the material are in conflict only to our subjective eyes. In fact, they work in harmony as one.".

conversations @ the real zoo: a tale of two christianities
http://therealzoo.blogspot.com/2007/08/tale-of-two-christianities.html
Sunday, August 05, 2007. A tale of two christianities. Chart found on page 15). I am reading what could be described as a very dangerous book. Dangerous in the sense that it risks being seen as challenging to the status quo. The books is Marcus Borg's "The Heart of Christianity.". Marcus Borg is the Professor or Religion and Culture at Oregon State University and has written several books about the Historical Jesus. Ah, I envy both Michael and Jeff. Good books are blessings. Wouldn't that be great? Subsc...

conversations @ the real zoo: August 2007
http://therealzoo.blogspot.com/2007_08_01_archive.html
Sunday, August 19, 2007. I don't want anybody over for dinner. I have this question: Since leaving the organized church, has my life worsened or gotten better? So left alone to walk these things out, I find myself looking closely at how do I love my wife, my kids, and those I come in contact with on a regular basis? Do I believe that I matter even if no one tells me so? Love came to dinner and lingers even still. Thursday, August 16, 2007. Sunday, August 05, 2007. A tale of two christianities. I am readi...

http://therealzoo.blogspot.com/2007_04_01_archive.html
Saturday, April 28, 2007. This is an article emailed to me this week; it is written by a jewish rabbi. it offers a perspective outside the norm for me. i hope it peacefully distrubs you as it did me. The Ecstasy of Politics. After years, literally years of rehab, I am just beginning to see some light at the end of the tunnel. My question to you is this: Beyond the addictive, destructive and unhealthy effects of substance abuse, is there any thing wrong with achieving a high through foreign substances?

conversations @ the real zoo: find the spark
http://therealzoo.blogspot.com/2007/07/find-spark.html
Wednesday, July 18, 2007. In every hardship, search for the spark of good and cling to it. If you cannot find that spark, rejoice that wonder beyond your comprehension has befallen you. Once you have unveiled and liberated the spark of good, it can rise to overcome its guise of darkness and even transform the darkness fully to light." rebbe wisdom.
