Thomas Merton to Aldous Huxley during their discussion about genuine & pseudo-mysticism: What I would call a supernatural and mystical experience…has in it very essence some note of a direct spiritual contact of two liberties, a kind of flash or spark which ignites an intuition…plus something much more which I can only describe as “personal”,...

I Don’t Know Jack
I really don't know jack about some shit. What follows, naturally, is I don't know Jack Shit. In particular, I don't know Jack about a good bit of this otherwise-called "spiritual" stuff. Some folks expect me to because I've chosen to add the label of "healer" & "teacher" to the alphabet string after my last... Continue Reading →
What if it really is “In Between the Stories”?
Inspired by Rumi, blog posts about hate, love and god; and 24 hours steeped in connection with all that is. In Between Stories ~ Rumi Did you hear that? It’s the man who was looking for treasure.

A Baby’s Hug
A Lesson on Judgement, Openness and Love sent by a friend via email and I thought it worth sharing!! Thanks, Jackie! We were the only family with children in the restaurant. I sat Erik in a high chair and noticed everyone was quietly sitting and talking. Suddenly, Erik squealed with glee and said, 'Hi.' He... Continue Reading →
Inspired by a new friend and following through
Funny how the electronic age and all of it's twits, tweets, Faces and other gizmos, whatzits, and widgets have helped morph my definition of 'friend'. A couple of weeks ago, I 'met' a woman named Shea McGuir (follow her here because she's just that cool--@happybranding). What's followed is an e-conversation inspired by a few... Continue Reading →
