I recently spent about six weeks entrenched in a darkness of my own making. Not entirely of my making, circumstances were key players, but my perception wrote the bulk of the script. As a seeker, a lover, an advocate of joy I was mortified to find myself desolate. It seemed I was trapped in anContinue reading “Opening The Door”

Step Away From The Storm
Around 10 o’clock on a recent morning, I looked down and noticed that my toes were hanging just over the edge of my own inner spiral. The day had not gone as planned so far and the scheduled events that were to follow were already beginning to unravel, taking the last threads of my patienceContinue reading “Step Away From The Storm”
Stillness & Satisfaction
Within the past few weeks, I have had countless reminders of our growing addiction to the overwhelm. A man managing a stressful full-time job, who was out every night during the week, was concerned that he was being “too lazy” to want to fill a Saturday afternoon with a social event. A frenzied mother shufflingContinue reading “Stillness & Satisfaction”
Looking For Helpers
There is a place near my house where I like to run. It’s a 5-mile wooded trail surrounding and overlapping a reservoir, little of which I travel having a love-hate relationship with running. Even when the dirt path and small bridges are crowded with people, there is still so much untouched nature that you can’tContinue reading “Looking For Helpers”

When found with several other horses, the neighbors are congratulatory and celebratory. The farmer expresses the same acceptance. Then the farmer’s son is injuredContinue reading “Resistance & Resilience”

This is a psychological theory stating that the connections that we form as children, beginning in infancy, will shape our future relationships with others, ourselves, and even our perception of the world. ItContinue reading “Detachment”
Steady Your Jar
On a recent call with an amazing and insightful woman she was talking about all of the tasks on her list and declared “Multitasking is really a lie that we tell ourselves. I mean, I am one person who can do one thing at a time.” Obviously, she wasn’t just talking about patting her headContinue reading “Steady Your Jar”
For The Love Of Reiki
Recently someone close to me told me that he does not believe in Reiki. I was not at all surprised by the opinion or the need to share it. It’s a confession I hear from time to time, so I answered in some form of my automatic typical response; “Okay, thanks for letting me know.” Continue reading “For The Love Of Reiki”
