As an antidote to the continuing insanity of our government’s approach to covid, have a look at what they are offering people as early treatment in India. In parts of India they have literally flattened the curve, whereas in highly vaxxed countries the number of Omicron cases are soaring and mandates are becoming more and… Continue reading India
With everyone getting all excited by the latest Omicron stats, I would like to offer the following option — something you can do to lessen the impact of the disease (which by all reports is very mild anyway). At the very least, this information won’t cause you any harm (which is not something you can… Continue reading Something you can do …
Here’s an interesting graphic that shows the real c0v1d stats in Canada. Can somebody please explain why there is so much hysteria?
I’m the sort of person who, by nature does not rush into anything. I waited for two weeks to flatten the curve, I socially distanced and wore a mask, I washed my hands and mostly stayed home. I did not get sick. Nobody I knew got sick, though I did hear of a few people… Continue reading Enough is enough
It’s been raining for a couple of days and will continue to rain for a couple of days more. BC is beneath another atmospheric river, not quite as bad as the one that hit last week, destroying roads and flooding towns, but troublesome nevertheless. So it seemed logical to double up on the gua for… Continue reading Water over Water
I haven’t wanted to write anything related to c0v!d because of the incredible divisiveness generated by the topic, but the recent and genuine emergency created by the atmospheric river that dropped an incredible month’s worth of rain on the province of BC a few days ago has made me see things in a new light.… Continue reading A real emergency

Normally there are sounds; dogs barking, traffic noises, ravens cawing and so on, but this morning it was very quiet and still. As we began our Wild Goose form a woodpecker started making quite a racket, moving around us, perching on the… Continue reading Gradualness
On Friday we went to the labyrinth in Sechelt to do our regular Guo Lin walking practice. A man was washing down the surface to remove something they had put down last week to kill the moss, so we had to wait about 30 minutes for him to finish before we could begin. It seemed… Continue reading Heaven over Water
Rather than throwing coins or counting yarrow stalks, the I Ching can be interpreted on a daily, or even hourly basis by combining any two of eight possible situations to create a hexagram of six lines. The first gua (or situation) is what immediately attracts your attention. Our little group of intrepid qigong practitioners in… Continue reading Wind over Heaven
I picked up a used book last week by Sakyong Mipham (Chogyam Trungpa’s son); titled, Ruling Your World. What got me excited was a section called The Path of the Tiger. At the spring equinox we enter the time of Metal (according to the Chinese 5 element system) and the animal associated with this time… Continue reading The Tiger is Coming
