A gap, a missing part. Searching for the meaning of the word hiatus, I realized that without ceremony or even without obstructions you can go trucking through time and weeks and schedules and not notice that all that is encompassed in those groupings are lost to the calendar. It is not so much a...

If you have to follow something
Why not follow your dreams? Let’s take an example from every workshop you have ever taken. You start your list of pros and cons. I’ll start mine. First thoughts count twice as much as those that you’ve edited, tossed, put back somewhere else on the list and tossed again. Images improve the quality of...
Some days we can jump the rapids
At first I was wondering if amniotic fluid was like the ocean. But the day’s journey began thinking about the color salmon; whether it works on the walls of your home or not. I remembered hearing about a paint called “dead salmon.” Clever name. Cynicism comes to your local paint and hardware store. It...
So I said, “Self…”
Unsure and unsteady in any sort of practice, I rely on notes to myself as reminders of ways of being that seem good enough to try and beneficial. The idea that a practice is something that leads to a deeper place of residence within your own being has come to be through those...

Dancing with the wind
Let’s talk about our connection to the planet. Let’s make it to the continent. Draw it back to the country you’re in, then the state and county and smaller area and so on. It’s time to know where you live. Oh, you already do. Then look around and see what’s good and not so...

Heirloom beans and beings
Someone I really respect once asked me, “Are you a human being or a human doing?” Up until I discovered heirloom beans I had the modern ability to make this question a dilemma despite time, experience and the overall aging process. These days I feel as though I have found the answer. There’s a...
