Recently, I was in contact with a man who has been my pen-pal for more than ten years. We met during one of the many programs I have attended and for whatever reason, chose to stay in touch through the years. We live on different sides of the world so, although I consider him my friend, I have not seen him in person since that first meeting. In a recent ... Continue Reading >>

Sexual, Sensual and Spiritual Beings: Penetrating Coma
The pervasive and relentless sexualization of women and children has created a downward spiral for us all. There is no power in judging this or railing against it.

Speaking/Listening: The Power of Flow
Strange... I don't seem to notice anymore where one year ends and the next, begins! For me, it is an endless flow - with fewer and fewer distinctions throughout that flow to distract me from the flow, itself, as the force of change.
