What a Spring!!!!!
When something goes deeply wrong, the realization it forces is inevitably learned at the grave of loss. John O’Donohue What a spring. On my journey to save my tooth (which I did), I ended up with community acquired pneumonia and Atrial Fibrillation. This is my take on it, not the medical communities: it was a […]
Quan Yin – Mercy, Forgiveness, Compassion, Love
I lie in bed in the mornings, awakened by the early spring light, thinking about faith and grace – not unusual I suppose for my age. I have had the good fortune to bear witness to friends and acquaintances lives over a forty-year period. It’s most striking with people I haven’t seen for a while […]
Tree of Life
In January or February, I am changing the focus of my blog. My remaining clients have asked me to stay as long as I can.

We are revolutionaries in a new paradigm, a new way to be that recognizes and honors the interdependence of all beings on earth. Revolution demands action and our revolution must be grounded in […]
“shifting weight of beautiful things”
As I walked down our snow-covered road a few days ago, hypnotized by the puffs of snow that still clung to the trees because it was bitter cold, I realized something had changed within … or perhaps nothing had changed. Maybe I was beginning to sense what had always been there yet needed the luxury […]
There is a way out and through it all
I came back from New York more depressed than before I went. Sometimes I think ignorance is bliss until I see Trump’s choices for Cabinent positions and I realize that “white rage,” “white entitlement” and “white supremacists” will run the country, and I know ignorance on any level is a psychic cancer. This writing isn’t […]
