Learning vs transforming
I went for a walk today and it took me a lot of time to convince myself to get out there. But once I did it was like someone let the lid off a steaming pot of word stew because I went OFF. Couldn’t stop talking to my pals in the universe. I knew I…

Truth vs reality
Today the first words I spoke were “thank you”. Then I began to notice that the next four or five times I opened my mouth to speak it was to say thank you or “you’re welcome”. I walked up to yoga training in absolute reverence for the beauty of those interactions. How lucky am I…

The letter after the fire
Sometimes I just want to write shit down and then burn it. I really should start doing that. Because writing is really how I express myself. But I think about this platform – and how grateful I am to have this connection to the universe through cyber space -and I say to myself – I…

The longest winters
“When we reduce great things to such dismissive categories, we rob them of their selfhood and deprive them of their voice.” – Parker Palmer I cracked open today. I can’t believe I have been refusing to crack open for so long. I really cracked. How can I continue to reduce my greatness to pretending that…

Why I write (part 1 of many perhaps…)
I don’t normally do this… actually I’ve never done this. But what I wrote this morning in my journal is something I would like to share for the first time. (Ever. ever ever. Dun dun dun.) Stopped writing or a few days and a storm started brewing inside. My meditation this morning was about trusting…

Dancing in the rain
I danced in the rain today. Literally. But there’s something about that phrase – isn’t there a quote that goes something like … learn to dance in the rain? Something like that. Anyway – it’s such a funny process to go through – surrendering. I experienced it today in such a physical way that it…
