Return of the Knights

Over the last few years a number of dear friends and mentors have passed.  I called them the last of the knights.  Honor. Decent.  Humble. Courageous. Faithful to the cause. Larger than any issue or challenge. Forces of nature. A class above. These days knights are needed more than ever.  Yet fools and jesters seem […]

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 […]

Does the center hold

Throughout our history we have been tested by many negative, dangerous, and challenging moments. At the same time as these challenges have occurred positive, thoughtful, and courageous voices and individuals have come forward.  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 […]
