Valentine’s Day Love Story
I recently came across some writing about my relationship with Peter from many years ago. As Valentine’s Day approaches, it seems appropriate to share this story of true love. Enjoy… In other writings and talks, I have described what it cost me to leave my marriage and my life to be in the position of finding Peter. I had lost …
The Mandorla
The process of discovering the perfect logo for the Evolutionary Collective many years ago was an interesting journey. I worked with a few designers who, although they were technically good and spiritually awake, somehow couldn’t find it in the unseen. I then connected with a wonderful graphic designer from Manhattan, who took me on an artistic journey through album covers …
IT’S A WONDERFUL LIFE – Frank Capra’s Life was a Capra Movie
As a kid born in the 1950s, I had strange tastes in entertainment. As a very young child, I much preferred Liberace with all his glitter, sparkle, and classical music to the soothing simplicity of dear Mr. Rogers. When I imagined what I wanted to be when I grew up, it was Shirley Temple with her charm and chutzpah. She …

Everywhere we turn, the language …
Essential Uniqueness: The Key to Shared Unity
Have you ever watched a great artist perform, perhaps a musician or a dancer, and felt completely transfixed? It isn’t just their technical excellence, beauty, or precision that captivates you. There’s something else that holds your attention, some particular quality that is theirs alone. You could listen to a hundred violinists play the same piece of music, and each one …
Please, NOT ANOTHER THING…
Have you noticed a quiet disinterest in learning yet another technique, or in devoting more energy to the endless project we call “working on ourselves”? Something in us knows that more effort isn’t what’s needed now. Mutual Awakening and Shared Unity are not more teachings to take in or ideas to add to what you already know or who you …
Parrhesia: Truth to Power
“Even if you are a minority of one, the truth is the truth.” ~ Mahatma Gandhi I’ve always been an early riser naturally, without any alarm. It must be a deeply ingrained pattern from lifetimes of being either a monk, nun, baker, or farmer. Shortly after I wake up, I have developed a pattern of flipping on the news while …
