The questions

Why do you do what you do? Who do you do it for?  Are you fulfilling the promise you made to yourself so long ago?  Are you still a seeker? Have you lost your way? Do you think you have eternity to say your truth?  Exactly what are you waiting for?  Why are you wasting […]

Five breaths, your legacy and today

In the end the question will be put to each of us. It may be a question we ask ourselves as the last five breaths unwind in us. Were we the best we could be after all was said and done.  Did we  let our better angels lead the way in our actions. We just […]

Defining success

Defining success. Some see it only in a very tangible way.  Stuff. Things.  Bank accounts. Investments.  You know…stuff.  Nothing wrong with stuff. But is that all it is?

The workout and ageless living

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 […]

Timeless and mysterious.

We invented the clock.  We invented the calendar. We filled it in with days, minutes, years and named the seasons.  We created the limitations and the restrictions that we now abide by.  Odd when you consider that.  The sky is ever expanding and mysterious. Yet we try to remove the mystery from it all and […]

A metaphor

Once you realize that it is all a metaphor you better understand that you hold your fate in your own hands.  Heaven or hell is your choice now. Salvation or not is a decision you can make now.  I write in Hour of the Wolf that each night I die and each morning I am […]
