In early 2018, my friend Dee had given me the book Soulcraft by Bill Plotkin. As that was the year I’d be turning 50, the concept of embarking on a wild, crazy, rendezvous of the soul sounded like a fun way to embrace the journey to elder-hood. Dee and I decided to sign up for…
Nature. Soft, soothing, sweet, gentle, silent. Nature. Violent, immovable, unrelenting, turbulent, wild. Nature is not only a perfect metaphor for the diverse experiences of this human life, it is the catalyst to synthesize all these diverse aspects of human nature… or nature within the human. Surrender to nature – outside and within. Surrender to the…
You are safe. You are protected. You are guided. You are loved. Anything that causes fear is based on illusion. Freedom is your reward for seeing through the illusion. Life really is that simple. Any excuse you make for your fear, any attempt to justify it, only gives it power. The fear is not necessary.…
Can you feel the joy? Can you feel it now? It’s been there all along, just beyond your perception, just out of emotional reach. Now the veil is lifting, the clouds have parted, and the sun, whose warmth you felt from afar, is bathing you in light, warmth, and love so powerful, it’s hard to…

There is holiness in this moment. Can you feel it? Can you hear the sacred hum, the buzz of energy liquifying the air around you as it condenses into something more solid than the air just beyond your field of energy? This unique vibrational signature is the purest version of you, unblemished by your ego,…
Take a deep breath. Relax into this moment. Now think of your deepest desire. How pure is your energy as you think about the thing you most want? Do you feel anxious, because achieving your dream requires talent, ability, or physical characteristics you aren’t sure you possess? Do you feel tired, fearing you lack the…
You have no control over whether or not your love is received by another. Your job is only to offer love freely, unconditionality, in an unending stream, without expectation – even the expectation that your love will ever be returned. Now… do this. Over and over. Experience awe and wonder at the profound beauty of…
