Steve by Jamey Stillings
Steve Roberts
serves fellow explorers
of life’s two most important questions:
What’s going on,
and what’s the healthiest action I can take in this moment?
To this end, Steve champions
the most fear-provoking point of view
the world has ever known:
Everything is a gift,
and the business of life is discovering how come.
He finds the spirit of the universe to be
playful, loving, deep.
Besides laughter and the sharing of experience,
his expressions of this spirit include
several hundred essays,
a novel, some 2000 drawings,
countless stone sculptures
built & photographed
on his Vermont mountainside
over a quarter century, and
a portfolio of professional communication
for clients who favor a collaborator
who aspires to write like a freight train
driven by Mother Teresa.

Breath and the Boston Strangler

Maybe the only question that needs resolution is “Who am I?”  Especially when the answer is my answer, “Manifestation of God.”   Not “Child of God” as so many sages say.  That doesn’t satisfy me because I infer its meaning to be something different from God, the way we are different from our parents.  I

The Tearful Gift of Solitude

Yesterday, for the first time ever so far as I can remember, but certainly the first time since 7/17/19, I attempted to draw the spirit of Dear and me together.  Afterward, I sobbed like never before since her departure, just missing her, felt at a level not possible until now as I’ve been distracting myself

D. Trump: Maker of Saints

This essay was originally published in October 2016, on my website CoolMindWarmHeart.com, during Donald Trump’s first run for President While Donald Trump may be colossally unworthy of our trust to be president, there is one thing about him I honor: his role in making saints.  (Not that he knows he’s doing so.)  I’m not cracking wise

The Only Game in Town

Oh what a show the worldly-world is manifesting as our collective ignorance reminds us of the price we pay for how we define reality.   Perhaps the most rewarding part of today’s outrageous drama that is assaulting so many forms of security our ego consciousness finds essential to a healthy life is the rise of

Trump’s #1 Gift

The single most important thing about Trump—by that I mean his deepest service to the human family, even though he’s likely unaware of it—is that he is not responsible for a single thing anyone feels or thinks about him.   I say that as one who champions what may be the most fear-provoking point-of-view the

Stepping Into 82

Less than a week before stepping into year 82, a slogan, or motto, or maybe just a wordy bumper-sticker of common sense appeared in the night kitchen: “We have all the time we need to find God.”  That’s such a liberating notion.  And at least one reason I also find it full of delight is

I’m Not a Human Being

There is absolutely nothing in life on earth that I don’t find wonderful and sacred, while I sometimes also find it excruciating.  That’s primarily because I don’t consider myself a human being.  I am a soul, as are we all, an expression of the essence of the universe, a fingerprint of the reality that is
