Preface: I am avid follower of the work of Robert Bly. Most of the terms and context is based on his work in the field of mythology. I did some work yesterday on my life project of bucketing out my psychic pond. Didn’t expect to tackle that chore yesterday, but sometimes, regardless of my bestContinueContinue reading “A visit to the psychic pond.”

Ode to Dia de Los Muertos
Can we dance with ghosts? Say goodbye without losing a part of us in doing so? The long sleep. The greatest journey. The end. Can we celebrate the transformation of death? Open our hearts to those who have gone before us? In Mexico, they cook and eat with the memories and images of their dead.ContinueContinue reading “Ode to Dia de Los Muertos”
Candy or Candid?
The streets echo with little one’s looking forward to a night of goblins and candy. Yes, Halloween is now upon us. Our neighborhood is alive with children (which is unusual, since there seems to be no children the rest of the year). Do we buy candy or slip quietly into the night and turn theContinueContinue reading “Candy or Candid?”
The Art of Cooking
This blog post contains no recipes or food tips. Just to be clear. What I’m talking about when I refer to “cooking” is not about the food we make. What I’m talking about is the slow integration process we experience as human beings when we make a conscious effort to grow ourselves. When we cookContinueContinue reading “The Art of Cooking”

“Tell me the facts and I’ll learn. Tell me the truth and I’ll believe.

Stories brought the characters of tales and myths closerContinueContinue reading “Lesson’s of a good story”
Barriers
What are the obstacles or barriers that keeps us from living fully? Have you ever asked yourself this? I have…many times over. Some days, it’s as if there is something standing in the way of me and my wants. The “it” is on the other side and I can’t get there. Well, the “it” isContinueContinue reading “Barriers”
Stepping out into nature
Sometimes all we need is a little space. To breath, think and feel. I ventured out to the Santa Fe Nature Preserve to film some test clips for a project I’m working on. As soon as my vehicle stops, I jump out, gear ready to go, and hit the trail. The air is clean. ContinueContinue reading “Stepping out into nature”
More principles to live by
I really liked how my last blog on principles was received, so here are a few more that I live by: I tell people what I need. I have found that the more I share what I need in my life, the more people respond…positively. So telling people – especially those closest to us -ContinueContinue reading “More principles to live by”
The Damning Effect
For generations, dams were an essential part of our new growth policy in the United States, in that they provided us with power and jobs. But we have come to understand that these great symbols of man’s conquest over nature, were in fact, damaging to the very environments in which they were built. In someContinueContinue reading “The Damning Effect”
Life’s a Party! Be-careful Who Shows Up
I’m still reeling from the party from last night. An emotional gathering that left me with a hangover. I have to be careful who I invite to my parties. Sometimes all characters get along and it’s a lovely night of fun and humor. Last night was a party crashed by a giant and a witchContinueContinue reading “Life’s a Party! Be-careful Who Shows Up”
