Today my heart left.. She could only stay a short while, but, she smiles at me from miles away. So it goes with all life, that to truly feel alive one must be pulled by the heart. At times this feeling is not pleasant, it is not kind and it cares not for our reactions […]
Some believe that things happen for a reason, others believe that randomness is all that exists. Some believe that existence is the only reality, and nothing exists beyond existence. Well, thank that lucky randomness that brought the right chemicals together to create all of this amazing stuff around us… that exists… for whatever reason. Recent […]
“We feel and know that we are eternal.” ~ Baruch Spinoza I’ve always been fascinated by the notions of destiny, fate, cycles of life and possible past or future incarnations.

Though still in it’s infancy, I’m happy to announce that my book “Sphere(s) Pondering with the Heartmind” is now complete and in print. With that I have […]

But, this is to be remembered as the time for change, the beginning of the harvest; collecting the hard labors of the spring and summer. I too am traveling about the […]
“Change is the constant, the signal for rebirth, the egg of the Phoenix.” Christina Baldwin For every paradox there is always an elusive answer, but more often a conflagration of argument. In the age old question of causality we find this paradoxical argument. Which came first, the chicken or the egg? This question dwells within […]
