About


BARDO: The Tibetan word Bardo means literally “intermediate state” – also translated as “transitional state” or “in-between state”….But it can also be interpreted as any transitional experience. By refining even further…. it can be applied to every moment of existence. The present moment, the Now, is a continual Bardo, always suspended between the past and the future.

Boomer Bardo is a place to relax, chill, groove, hang out and possibly even reflect on things for a while.

For The Sandwich Generation1 – what a long, strange trip it’s been2 (and continues to be)! So we just keep on truckin’ along. We’re not older – we’re just Experienced3!

Remember Mick Jagger’s famous comment on retirement: “I’ll be playing rock n roll when I’m pushing around a walker!” Right on, Mick! Rock n Roll Never Dies.

Anyway – it could all be Quantum4! As you probably know – the whole Quantum event thing could not exist without your viewing it – right? So thanks for your assistance in viewing and creating this site!

The Boomer Bardo Mission: To provide some comic relief and be a Force for Good (loved those comic books!). Also to help interested Boomers in stopping increasingly-demanding daily responsibilities just for a brief moment in order to be Energized in the Now by their youthful Idealism. And to bring that Idealism forward into the Now of the 21st Century in order to leave an enduring legacy for future generations.”

1 “Sandwich Generation” – Americans roughly ages 40 to 60 that are simultaneously raising a child and providing some form of financial assistance to a parent. Demographers call them the “Sandwich Generation”; also known as “Baby Boomers”

2 Truckin’ by the Grateful Dead, “American Beauty” Album (1970).

“Sometimes the light’s all shinin’ on me; Other times I can barely see.
Lately it occurs to me: What a long, strange trip it’s been.”

3 Are You Experienced? by Jimi Hendrix, “Are You Experienced?” Album (1967).

“Have you ever been experienced? Not necessarily stoned, but beautiful.”

4 Quantum – A continually changing reality that really does depend all on your point of view.
