About

I’m glad you clicked “About”.  You’re at least a bit curious.  I like curious people.

Blue Jay refers to the many states of mind about me, Jay.  Think of all the meanings of the word “blue”.  It could be the noun “blue” or the adjective “blue”.  All the meanings you can conjure up and more might be covered sometime on this blog.  Plus, many other topics.

I am a middle aged man from Nebraska.  I like personal development in mental and physical contexts.  In fact, I’m convinced the mental and the physical work together in synergy.

Currently, I follow the Gelug school of Tibetan Buddhism.  Dzogchen meditation is an integral part of my practice. 

In addition to Dzogchen, I do something called workout meditation.  That is, I focus on being fully present while using exercise equipment at the gym.  I do not wear ear buds for music.  I stay with the sounds, sights, and scents of the gymnasium.

My avocations include photography and floral arts.  I hope you’ll bookmark bluejayblog and visit here frequently.

    Good web site! I truly love how it is easy on my eyes and the data are well written. I’m wondering how I might be notified when a new post has been made. I’ve subscribed to your feed which must do the trick! Have a nice day! “A crime which is the crime of many none avenge.” by Lucan.

    I love when I find a blog so nourishing. I stumbled upon your blog while googling photos for bees this morning for one of our blog sites. I also follow many Tibetan healing practices. Turns out what many of my guides (Angels) were teaching me through spirit is also Tibetan.
    Much Love & Appreciation,
    Aurora

    Saw your blog about garbage, I too was interested in doing something about it, specifically I engaged my intellect to address fast food service items like cups, plates, clam shells etc. After several years my partners and I have come up with a solution which we’ve patented and are thinking about taking to market. Here’s my question for you, are the pictures you used in this blog your property or licensed from a legitimate source, I would like to consider using them in our literature.

    I am French (and live in France) and I am currently working on a book about Tintin. My job is to find photos and pictures for this book and ask for permission to use them. Are you the author of the picture of Rackham “Calico Jack” found on bluejayblog? If so, do you agree to let us use this picture in this book? If so, can you send it in high resolution? Thank you for your answer.

      I am not the originator of the image. At the time, it was a stock image I of Jack that I liked best. Perhaps another in-depth Google Image search will be fruitful for you.

    I find your blog insightful and thought provoking, always something that tickles my mind into deeper consideration of the life I’m living.
