Instinct and Reason

I recall feeling very peaceful one morning, driving off to run some errands. I had my coffee with me, a good start to the day, and was feeling very loving towards everything and everyone. Then some sucker in a BMW cut me off. Road rage reared its ugly head. I felt my...

A Day in the Life of Alaska

I’m writing this at about 38,000 feet in the air (fortunately in an airplane!) returning from a land I’d never been to—Alaska. Specifically Fairbanks, Alaska. I’d been invited by a shamanic colleague, Deborah Chestnut, who I know from a three-year training program in...

Laptops and Metaphors

I’m blessed to have a MacBook Pro that’s been my faithful laptop for about three years now. It has a 500-gigabyte hard drive, but now is loaded up with all sorts of stuff so there’s only 77.9 gigabits of space left—and I’m concerned about that. I’ve relegated most of...

Complaining

I’m sick and tired of complaining. I’m sick and tired of hearing myself complain. In fact, I’m so fed up with it that I’m willing to complain about how we human beings are so prone to complaining! How’s that? Stay tuned and I’ll elaborate on that. But first some...

Avatar and Earth Magic

I’ve seen the hit movie Avatar twice now and expect to see it at least once more, particularly in 3D and ideally on the big IMAX screen. I highly recommend it. It’s more than a movie; it’s an event. In spite of the magnitude of the cinematography, it was also a very...
