Luck Of The Gypsy
Does superstition come from Gypsy beliefs? Not just. The Gypsy people picked up a lot of beliefs, but some they never embraced and still don’t. The word superstition means surviving belief, and they make a point of avoiding practices and even ideas they feel are unclean. Superstition is basically the same thing as tradition, but…

Gyspy Family
Gypsy people work as an extended family and they play the same way. Brother John isn’t poor, the clan is poor. Sister Sue isn’t unhappy, the clan is unhappy.

Witness In Stillness
In stillness, the blind find their way. In stillness, the deaf come to know the world. What if changes of mind are no different? If changes of mind are no different, does your insistence on any one way of being make sense? How does anything make sense? “Sense” is a narrow way of thinking. Or…
