Those first glorious moments of spiritual or religious awakening can be huge. As we begin to open and seek our true ”selves” we start to ask questions such as “who am I?” or “why am I here?”. The first experience that connects you to your inner self is one of the most, or maybe best of your life and it’s only natural you want to share it. You find yourself reviewing jobs, friends, values, beliefs and your relationship tends to come under the spotlight very quickly because often your dear…

I have observed that very single human being has problems of one sort or another. There's no escaping that obvious fact. I think that what makes us different is how we respond to those problems.
My question for you would be: Do you see yourself as a victim, helpless and unable to help yourself? Do you grow angry, become impatient, or dive deeply down into a mood of depression? Have you…

Foudroyè par la lance de jupiter
Le géant git bléssé de mort
Weeping is mother earth
At the sight of his wounded son
De part en part flanc transpercé
Dans la jupe de sa progénitrice
Oozing is his precious blood
Painting her cloth crimson
Les lamentations d'une mère
Au coeur brisé par la douleur
Filled the last moments
Of this aghast giant
Les tenebres doucement
Engouffrent la porteuse de vie
As her creation…

One of my favorite stories that I heard a long time ago: A husband is watching his wife preparing to put a beef roast in the oven for the family’s Sunday dinner. She cuts a piece off the small end of the roast, throws that piece in the garbage and puts the roast in the pan and into the oven.
Her husband says, “Honey, why did you throw the end of the roast away?” She thinks for a minute and says, “Well, that’s what mother always did.”
But now his wife starts to wonder. She…

If we observe our reaction to emptiness, most of us will run away from the feeling. We do not like an empty house or an empty room. We try to fill our days with activities. We fill our heads with problems that may or may not need our attention. We keep filling our hearts with our past traumas, someone else’s issues or hopes of the future.
In the context of Tending to Your Garden Within, it is important…

care what anyone else thinks; just become a unique you unlike any other.

The Thought of A Rain Drop
In meditation
alone on the patio
a hint of rain
not attached to anything
I lock on the drop
exploding across the floor
one simple drop
too heavy to contain itself
I know there must be
an echo so profound
the universe responds
silence deafening
what could exist more
Then I see
of like…

'And above all, watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places. Those who don't believe in magic will never find it.' ~Roald Dahl
The ancients knew July to be "the dog days of summer" for food was plentiful and too much free time and the hot, sultry weather led to boredom and bickering. Many of our households suffer the same today. Yet outside nature bursts with abundance as the days grow warm and…

Over the past few weeks I have found myself counseling many, many people to work on becoming strong enough to get out of various dysfunctional relationships. Some of these bad relationships are with spouses, some with friends and some with co-workers and jobs. Whenever the reason to stay in any relationship is because the alternative fills them with fear I counsel to go and be free. I'm not encouraging them to run away from their problems, I'm encouraging them to free themselves from their…

So here I am, one year in to a simple vision that the world is a better place when people stand together with a common purpose instead of negotiating what divides us. Some have called this coherence.
Seeing the Earth bleed before our eyes with only blind guesses about how to stop the hemorrhage is a stark reminder of the incoherent battle we humans have waged with nature. There are no words to adequately describe watching a catastrophe unfold 5000 feet beneath the sea. All we can do is…

Fathers’ Day is here. I never knew my birth father. My fantastic, loving step father entered my life when I already had children of my own. He was the most generous of men, a loving father and a gentle grandfather. Even today I miss him and wish he could be with me. Love you Dad!
Today however I want to talk not about dads but about one extremely important Mother. That is our own precious and giving Mother Earth.
The news media is having a field day. Our television…

Bonnaroo 2010 :: Lessons on Love
This year was my “coming out” and re-acclimating back into humanity and what better way than to volunteer at Bonnaroo, which is held in Manchester TN. Having no expectations, experience with camping out or friends to accompany me, I headed out on an adventure that was full of possibilities and beautiful people. As I packed my car and prepared the days prior, it was emotionally charged. I realized I had never done anything on my own which was could be…
