#7 Sacred Where does the sacred live? One initial response might be that it is present everywhere, if only we had eyes to see, and the wisdom to perceive and embrace it. How to define sacred in a way that feels real and accessible? For me, in simplest terms, it is the energy of connection. And I see that most clearly in seven aspects of this world: seasons, place, objects, home, the body, relationships, and beauty. As we turn into fall, and I pen these words in the midst of a full moon night, I am

#6 Vulnerability “I’m not complaining, just explaining,” was a favorite phrase of my dad. As he aged, he used it often. At our regular men’s group meetings, we often joke about “medication check-in” and “organ recital” time. So how does sharing differ from just complaining/explaining? I think the distinction lies in one’s ability to go deeper into the emotional components of the experience, rather than a somewhat dry –even if impassioned – recitation of a story. All those stories we tell ourselves

#6 Choicepoints. Those of you who have listened to some of my 333 podcasts might remember my use of this made-up term. It reflects those moments, sometimes days, weeks, months or longer in duration, when we are face to face with “two roads diverged in a yellow wood...” I long ago abandoned to dust any formal religious paths to truth. Thank you, Ecclesiastes 3:20 “All go to one place. All are from the dust, and to dust all return.” I define spirit as all that is, and soul as a unique conscious

If you have every been into hiking or camping you have probably heard the phrase “leaving your footprint” — and its generally not about what the sole of your boot or tennis shoe looks like. In that context it is usually in reference to what you leave behind when you have gone

In our fast-paced culture, we often expect our bodies to operate like machines. We schedule big events, push through extreme stress, and assign ourselves a single day or weekend on the calendar to “bounce back”. But for anyone living with autoimmune disease, chronic illness, or adrenal burnout, the body frequently rejects our arbitrary deadlines. On […]

#4 StuckvilleI have noticed that there are distinct times when the big wheel, as I call it, does not move favorably. Often the descent into this undesirable state is subtle, lurking on the edge of my awareness. Obvious only when fully caught in its unkindly embrace. I know the wisdom of “this too shall pass,” which does admittedly not bring much comfort to those thrashing moments of discord. I have also learned that such life periods – as is true with most difficulties – bring their own secret

#3 Spaciousness My main gratitude mantra for some time has been, “I’m not in Gaza, Haiti, Ukraine, Sudan, or other places with horrible human conditions.” Recently added Iran to that mix. A good reminder when I find myself whining about yet another household repair, poor customer service encounter, or elevated grocery store prices. I find this image quite evocative, as it represents for me the life journey, with all its twists and turns and choicepoints. I remember when a group of us turning fifty
