Hi friend, Do you ever think it’s Monday when it’s actually Tuesday?Thank you for your patience with this late newsletter and thank you for all the love and kindness you pass back to me. — Let’s start it off with one of the key questions that I’m asked by the bold.  Do you really have […]

Hi Friend, Key to helping me understand what’s going on in the world today, especially politics, history, economics, psychology, and philosophy, I dig into multiple different research modalities.  Over the past 10 months, I’ve been regularly listening to Dr. Roy Casagranda on YouTube. His unapologetic, unfiltered style of presenting complex ideas is not only refreshing, […]

Hi Friend, My short, heart felt message for this evening. I’ve had the privilege of spending a lot of time at Spirit Rock listening to Jack Kornfield speak. As I have mentioned before, I was a carpenter up in San Francisco and Mill Valley in the late 80s and early 90s.  As I reflect back upon those times, I […]

Hi Friend,A big part of my heart will always remain in Malibu, California. Skateboarding down Rambla Pacifico from “On Top of the World” with my brother to share a sandwich on Hwy 101, only to see Paul Newman drive up in his white porsche with racing stripes to pick up a sandwich at the same locale shop.

Hi friend,I was introduced to Frank Ostaseski (his website) and his work many years ago, via my dear friend Julie Chippendale (her Facebook Page). He is a Buddhist teacher, author, founder of the Metta Institute and Zen Hospice Project. His real life story is nothing less than profound.  I follow him to this day and find his teachings to have […]

Hi Friend, I was given a pocket size picture of Jesus Christ in a plastic sheath on the full moon of March 16, 1984. My girlfriend had come out to the strong camp fire I had going in the back yard of our Cardiff cottage just when the pouring rain decided to join in. I remember her arm […]

Hi friend, The first time I met Willem Dafoe was while practicing a lead first series Ashtanga Yoga practice under the guidance David Life. It was at Sharon & David’s Shala, Jiva Mukta in New York maybe 29 years ago? I was in New York studying with Dharma Mittra and decided to swing by and take a class with my old friends from India, […]

Hi Friends, I met Waldemar Januszczak, the then just becoming famous art critic in a coffee shop at The National Gallery, London. I had no idea who he was, nor he I, obviously, but there we were chatting away like the War had just ended and we had survived to be right there talking to each other. It was obvious […]
