We sat in a circle. We were asked to light a candle. We did. We were then given a pad and pencil. We were sitting on a thin sheet covering a hard wood floor. There was soft music in the background. It was the definition of peaceful. The incense was filling the air with a […]

Being in the Moment…Unconditionally
February 8: The wheelchair had been specially designed. There were these huge tires on it. At first it made no sense but then it did. The mother pushed it over the sand toward the water. It didn’t get stuck in the sand. It rolled easily over it and then, amazingly, into the water and floated […]
Living the day as a force of nature.We have heard that phrase so often but what does it mean…really.It is living the zen moment.On the motorcycle, we were one. You can get a sense of the bike's personality. You communicate with each other. You trust each other. It is not called the iron horse for […]
February 7: The birds gather at certain spots along the beach. It is early. It must be part social,part breakfast time,part nature permitting her dance to take place. Whatever it is I always enjoy watching the movements, the shuffles,the take offs and gliding across the surface of the Gulf of Mexico.The birds make it look […]
Make it Easy
The disease had reached an unbearable point. It was not good for so long but now it was not good and no where else to go but painfully not good. Such a brave soul. Such a strong person. We sat and through the pain pills and the other myriad of drugs we looked at each […]

February 6: The tram ride up to the top of Mont Blanc was a bit fitful as the wind was howling. Once there you walk through a sort of ice tunnel where you get your ropes, picks, and ice cleats that cover the bottom of your hiking boots so you have better grip as you […]
The rain drop hit the pavement right in front of the little boy. He had been playing outside and even though the clouds were forming he didn't mind and kind of enjoyed the thought of running between the rain drops. As this one rain drop touched ground he paused and stared at it. He could […]
So there we were just outside of Geneva. We had made it over the French Alps in not record time. We stopped for cheese,bread and wine in a small village and sat on a hilltop overlooking Lake Geneva, sipping the wine and trying to figure out if we could make it to the ferry in […]
Carrying the Mountain
Dangeboche was above the tree line but below first base camp. The ground was hard from the cold. There was the feeling of accomplishment and satisfaction that the journey had taken us to this remote spot in the beautiful Himalaya mountain range. Isolated but not alone or lonely. The paradox was evident. We were at […]
February 4: What would it feel like to be 100% you a 100% in the present moment. You unfiltered. Not a negative you. But a positive energy you. Tasting,touching,hearing, seeing and smelling life in all its shapes,forms and textures but at 100% squared. The teacher stood before the class and inquired how anyone could be […]
