I had an illuminating conversation with my good friend, Ruthie Dean who (like me) has changed her name and identity, to the authentic Maia Carroll and I am Raven – obviously. She is one of the good friends from SGI in DC who I miss so much – she made me promise to visit the [...]

Adding much polish and revealing glorious life

Exactly how much time is there for writing when a vast space has opened up in your life, your dreams have been radically altered…..and that trip to “boy scout camp” is actually an extended stay in a London hospital struggling to survive against all odds?

Happy New Year – 2010 on the horizon

First of all…not meaning to boast….but I’ve had another piece published – a cause for victory in 2009. Being an artist, as writers believe they are, we want some validation that this play with words, just as sculptors play with clay, has some impact. I want to leave this world a much better place and [...]

It is almost the new year…I can feel the final day drawing to a close, my breath tightening. Roberto will leave for training with the US State Department on Saturday…..a new year, a new job, some new ways of living.
“Open my heart to spirit. One as a brave man-woman, knowing love; laughing, listening, vibrant. [...]
Hearts…as in open and safe

And yesterday’s post kind of leads into today’s….”Your (our) family is safe and well sheltered. Your children are healthy, with hearts open.” I used to have major freak-out moments, high anxiety whenever my children weren’t nearby. If I couldn’t touch them, I was scared for their safety…too many bad experiences and my childhood had played [...]
Keeping my life polished….

Well, it’s been a while, actually quite a while since I last wrote….and much has happened. But, I’ll weave it into the book. Remember the book – everyone’s Buddha? Well, we’ve made such magnificent progress that we are now up to page 3…imagine that…almost a third of the way to victory.
This year’s personal determination was [...]
Good Morning Baltimore

So, back to the book…and back to the last page. All that “respect each being in relationship – one of you is the messiah” stuff. Well, back in Baltimore I’m reminded just how this “stuff” works. Now, mind you I seem to be somewhat prone to anxiety and last year, my driving anxiety really kicked [...]
Hey Crystal, this one’s for you

I met a new friend this evening….generally I don’t go out after working all day….I know, it sounds like I’m doing hard, manual labor or something that really wears me out. Nope, it’s taking care of problems, fielding calls, providing, as they say, some of the best servant leadership around, lots of communication up, down, [...]
