Once again the coaches showed and explained the work out of the day. Once again the “warm up” was what many other gyms would consider a full final workout. But it was merely the warm up. As the sweat dripped down my forehead I looked at the board to study the workout routine. It was […]

Wolf and Breath
Once again as I walk through a hospital and see those facing health issues and hear doctors and nurses and loved ones discussing the many different challenges facing the patient/loved ones I go back to Hour of the Wolf and my new effort…In These Five Breaths. Hour of the Wolf is the journey seeking the […]
An adventure does not begin until
An adventure…life…does not begin until something goes wrong. Wrong is when the lessons are learned. The challenge is met. Character is molded. The change takes place. The growing occurs. Life becomes textured. You wake up to truth. You realize you are not a bystander but must participate in the entire venture of living. Your path […]
The hour is closing in
There is just so much time. There is just so many chances. There is just so many moments to get it right. Think about it. Now how are you going to live. Phoning it in or participating? Reading others stories or living your story. Be passionate. Be noble. Be true. Be your unique self.
Decide…choose
Is it going to matter? When you look back did it matter? Did it make a difference? It. You. Your life story. The choice. The deciding. Sooner or later you look back. When you do decide now to live your future history with purpose It comes down to living outside your singular tale […]

Whether these courageous ones were always there waiting to address the challenge or the times created them it is unclear. It is […]
5 breaths. What would you do
Breath. In and out. The difference between life and death. The singular breath. One. Yet we ignore it as if it was our right. As if it belonged to us and we could take it or leave it. Breath is a gift. A treasure. A blessing. Without it we cease. Think about it. Now what […]
A closer and slower look
Mindfulness. Over time I have come to the better understanding that at least two particular things are needed to be mindful. Slow your pace down Walk with purpose but at a pace to appreciate each step. Yes, each step It permits you to reflect on the pace of your life Appreciate each […]
Age and appreciation
It always fascinates me that the young want to be older and the old want to be younger. Maybe that is just the nature of the human condition. Contentment of “what is” seems to be a lost art. I truly only saw contentment when I was in the Himalayas and chatted with villagers in Namche. […]
