Sharing the Dream … that always comes true
When I was little I would often dream of flying. I remember the sensation vividly: as if my life depended on it I would energetically flap my outstretched arms like they were feathered wings. Yet somehow I was able to always remain aloft, just enough! just barely! sometimes only a few inches, but enough to…
Read More7 of 9: doing the next right thing
How to stay pertinent. How to keep healthy, wise, and on top. Last night one of my all-time hero(ine)s, “7 of 9,” a Barbie-doll escapee of the Borg collective in the Capt Jean Luc version of Star Trek, played a top-of-the-game, military-corporate arms contractor. Every bit the same ravishing physical specimen she was 20 years…
Read MoreThe magic moment is always this one, here
Every time I look up at the sky I’m amazed at the vastness of our world. So much! So much to know, so much to do, so very many to do it with. It’s really quite overwhelming, isn’t it, if we allow ourselves to think this wildly, exuberantly expansive way. In order to carry on,…
Read MoreHow to Meditate, in answer to a friend’s request
This is dedicated to all those who are suffering from life’s challenges, whether of a physical, mental, emotional, or spiritual nature.

Read Moreeverything i do is a test, like this!
I’m preparing to eBook publish Heart Island: a trilogy of transformation. Now trying to figure how to insert illustrations into the books. Above is from a new scanner (epson) and here’s from my older one (hp) … see the difference? These little nuances are driving me crazy, but step by step, I’m figuring it all…
Read MoreRenew, Restore — Awaken!
This is not about computers, friends. I’m talking about the journey we all share, propelled by our inexorably searching human spirit. Each and everyone of ours. And I’m not referring to the search for the next-leader of Al Qaeda, either. I’m talking about how some of us are quite obsessed (others, not so much) to…
Read MoreLight-heart, Laugher, and Lots of Chocolate: magical ingredients
To laugh is to live! Did you know that infants (according to scientific studies) have no ability to discern between the sound and “look” of an adult laughing or crying? Check it out for yourself. Take a picture of yourself laughing and see how similar you appear as when you are very sad, on the…
Read MoreNever Give UP! There’s Always Hope
I was talking to some friends the other day, and for a change the conversation was not about bin Laden’s killing, but another cause for unease felt by many citizens of South America (where these two friends originally happened to be from). Both men were ex-pats living in America for many years, having given up…
Read Morebin Laden’s Demise: How We Can Feel About It as Enlightened Folk
A lot of people in the so-called “spiritual-enlightened” community seem to be not happy about other people’s rejoicing over the assassination of the long-sought mass-murderer bin Laden. I find this a curious thing and want to share a few thoughts about the subject. Concerning violence and aggression, especially war and decisions coming from our U.S.…
Read MoreChange: the only constant in life
As a serious devotee of the Book of Change, the Chinese I Ching, which I have been using as a mathematically-attuned capturer of the-present-moment and a source of ancient wisdom since teenage years, the one and only thing I do know for certain is: change always happens. look at the weather! look at politics! look…
