My one and only New Year’s Resolution for 2020 is to be more patient with myself. I have struggled my whole life with this issue, always putting way too much pressure on, blaming and shaming myself, and driving myself harder than I would ever drive anybody else. And even though I have grown leaps and […]
On Children by Kahlil Gibran Your children are not your children. They are the sons and daughters of Life’s longing for itself. They come through you but not from you, And though they are with you yet they belong not to you. You may give them your love but […]
Several people have asked me recently how exactly sound healing works. Exactly? I’m not sure that word is the one we’re looking for, but okay. I’ll do my best. Humans, and all things, from stars and nebulas to dust bunnies to dogs and cats to rock formations, vibrate. We’re made of very dense energy. Matter […]

I lingered under a brilliant canopy This day too perfect This air too alive This energy too delicious To put aside. It’s Halloween, and I’m in the woods, I said, where I belong . . . so . . . I won’t go back to the grinding and the racing and the ordinary. I just […]
Science! Welcome to the party! Glad you could make it! Thanks for the wine, can I take your coat? On a more and more frequent basis, scientists issue press releases about making “discoveries” about the behavior of particles or energies that explain stuff that healers, Witches, and Druids and been doing for thousands of years.

We area always learning, whether we know it, or want it, or not. And some lessons are way more important than other. But I think the biggest one is when we understand that we can screw up big and still love ourselves. It’s simple, but it’s so deep, and so true. When we get past […]
God, so I have come to understand Them, is formless. Not some old White dude who hasn’t shaved in 6000 years and hangs out in a bathrobe even more than Jeff Lebowski. They’re not somebody you can walk up to and carry on a conversation. They’re somebody you are actually in, like a fish is […]
