Condensed Sunlight
We are condensed sunlight, breathing condensed sunlight, basking in (not condensed) sunlight, forged in cosmic fire, conversing with stars.

On Meaningful Work
Why do I always follow up my plans for doing my writing with, “once I get my house in order?” A perusal of productivity books by men and women gives me some insight.

Amateur at Everything
Each of has a limited number of things that we are pros at… whether those are the things we get paid for, or things that we have mastered as hobbies. Everything else (relationships, decision making, raising small people, taking care of our bodies, buying and selling cars and houses, picking a career…) is amateur hour.…

I Would Still Plant a Tree
We can imagine the future, but we can’t predict it. Planting a tree is a gesture of hope that leaves something better in our wake.

We Need Your Best Work
I’ve been working on a project (or three) for a loooong time, of which this page is only a part. I started off with the vague sense that it was about being “well-rounded” or “accomplished” (both of which are things that a lot of my peeps aspire to)… but it is increasingly obvious to me…

What’s all this Yoga For, Then?
“Yoga is Self-Illuminating” – me, feelin’ right proud of meself. Ironically. I have lost track of the number of times I have heard a sentence that started with the word, “What yoga is really about is… ” Of course, each of those sentences ended with something different.

Abundance, Sustainability, and an (Actual) Sharing Economy
(Originally published on Medium. I’m trying out some different things. That hasn’t worked so far.) I admit it. I’ve taken a lot of courses about abundance.

Explaining phenomena: How the Universe Works
Hey, my friends. Did you know that I’ve got everything pulled together in a podcast over on the Cosmic Witchicists Travelling Intergalactic Roadshow? (And when I say everything, I mean *everything*.)

Maybe It Isn’t A Race?
It takes bravery to know your strengths and operate diligently within them. Are you running your race, or someone else’s? #Quest2016 from Tracking Wonder Quest. Today’s prompt from Todd Henry, author of Die Empty. Oooh. Ouch. Let me take a sideways wander here, over into the land of board games. My family and many of…

Perspective Vortex
“They” would miss me, in some sense, but they wouldn’t know it. The work that I haven’t done, the book that is sketched out on the wall of my office kitchen, the workshops I’ve only half written, or that I have written but not taught, or finished but not promoted… they are unfinished business that…

A Big Question
What question can sustain me, voracious as I am? (And, more to the point, hold my attention.) What problem is worthy of a lifetime of effort? (Many of them.) What sits at the intersection of those two sets?
