Well, Christmas and New Year’s Day have passed and I haven’t resumed my writing or painting but, I have spent many hours thinking and planning the changes I want to make in my life and career …of course, all grist for the mill. We used to call this mental masturbation and I think that is [...]

Sincere, lasting friendship is not easy to find or to maintain. Friend: 1: a person whom one knows well and is fond of; 2: an ally, supporter or sympathizer. Having a friend requires commitment, patience, caring and good listening skills. It calls for the ability to pay attention, without needing to talk. It thrives on [...]

When I take myself to the place in the world where I am most me, most centered, most awakened, it is always along a shore, a wide-expanse of water going on forever with an open, ever changing sky as partner. It is there I come to be. Whenever I desire, I can be there –in [...]
