Fear Is An Opportunity
I just realized the amount of anxiety and fear I live with every day is an opportunity. An opportunity for self-awareness. That is the main thing. Self-awareness. After that, you may or may not really need to do any kind of fancy process to digest or process or transform your fear. Once you are AWARE,…
Read MoreLove The Life We've Got
There is so much to be said for cycles. For knowing that there are cycles. For knowing that the pain always subsides, eventually. So, today, none of the darkness has manacled me. Skies are blue with cooling autumn weather ahead. Potential is here. Love is present. I’ve been reflecting lately on how powerful it can…
Read MoreSlow Rejuvenation
Waking up today I didn’t feel like I weighed a thousand pounds. Instead, I felt energy slowly returning to my body and heart. The love and the light are finding their way into me. Rejuvenating me. Being willing to walk through the darkness and grief and anger and sadness, into it fully, to wait there…

Read MoreThinking About God
Lately, I’ve been thinking a lot about God. The Beloved. All that is, and all that animates all that is. The One and The Way. The fragmented fullness of your path unfolding. The Living Map. Trust it.

I’m back! I know the whole idea was to blog about my Bruce adventure while I was in it, but you probably noticed—that didn’t happen. It turns out that seeing eight (yes, 8) Bruce shows means a hell of a lot of driving and not a lot of writing. Um, make that NO WRITING. After my final show in…
