I’m a gardener, you’re the volunteer who vines by the row of heirloom Better Boys, you hide near the hollyhocks along the splintered wood fence, dry in the sunlight. I’m a mapmaker, your cheeks are hilltops, your tears flow like trout streams, they descend contours and join the rivers’ pilgrimage to the Gulf. I’m a [...]
The Viper and the Bluebird
I post this in order to crystallize the event. Last night, in my sleep, soon before awakening, I was visited by a snake, a blue racer, and a bluebird. In this dream I was sitting, parked, in the driver’s seat of my car with my window rolled down. On the ground to my left [...]
Can we communicate with an individual or collective unconscious through dreams?
Let me venture this, right up front- I believe as the shift in consciousness manifests, as this shift approaches the tipping point, we will increasingly be informed in our dreams. Some will communicate collectively via dreams. As their numbers increase there will be a quantum leap of change in human behavior. Of course I cannot prove [...]

I am enjoying Daniel Pink’s latest work, DRIVE, which discusses the variables in our lives that truly motivate us. To the surprise of many, our motivation is NOT cash, prestige or [...]

What Is Freedom…To You?
Let me pose some questions that hover over my mind as I navigate life, and lead my children and my extended family, and my friends towards the fulfillment of their place on this plane. Freedom, to me, is the empowerment I have in my daily being to exercise absolute control over how I respond to [...]
A Course In Miracles
Recently several “signs” in my experience pointed to A COURSE IN MIRACLES. I attended a study group to see how the flag unfurled on their flagpole before I made the investment. By “investment” I do not refer to the $20 I exchanged for the volume at Pearls of Wisdom in Clintonville. I recognized that ACIM [...]
