Late Night Ponderings at 30,000 Feet
What is it about flying for hours over the ocean that has me so reflective? I’m a long ways away from everyone I love, and moving further still at a high rate of speed. And yet the moon I see reflected in the water below is also shining back home. The world is a...
And so it begins…
every journey begins with a single step and mine begins now “It's a dangerous business, going out of your door. You step into the Road, and if you don't keep your feet, there is no knowing where you might be swept off to.” Bilbo Baggins from “The Fellowship of the...
Let the Adventure Begin
One last day in this familiar place. One last walk on this familiar path. Not forever, but for now. Tomorrow I set off on a grand adventure - a journey both outward and inward. When I return this place will be new, and so will I. The journey will take me where it...
Let the Countdown Begin
One month from today (the day after Labor Day) my big adventure begins. I will board a plane in Denver and the next morning I will be in Madrid Spain. The following morning I will step off a train in St. Jean France, where I will start my journey on the Camino de...
The Magic Continues

In this morning’s Dance Circle one of the dances we shared was a song in which we called on the presence of Ganesha, the Hindu God who is understood as the remover of obstacles and one who loves to dance (among other things). Hinduism may or may not be your...
5 Kilometers per Hour
For the vast majority of the time that humans have been on this planet we have travelled at a speed of about 5 kilometers per hour. In other words, we walked. It was the speed at which we observed and processed the world around us. In terms of evolution, it is a...
Happy Birthday to Me!
Today is my birthday! 67 years ago I came into the world and took my first breath. Between then and now, I have taken approximately 846,216,000 breaths. My heart has beat somewhere in the neighborhood of 2,993,292,000 times. I have travelled about 342,409,128,000...
Happy Father’s Day To Me!
I always like Father’s Day, because it offers me an opportunity to reflect on how grateful I am to be a father. I am not a father in the biological/genetic sense of the word. I am a father because a whole bunch of young women continue to allow me to share in their...
