We arrived on the Island of Rhodes early in the morning. The island in the Aegan Sea was as welcoming as any could be. But as we wandered it I was struck by just a few points that have stayed with me. Famous for the Colossas of Rhodes, one of the Seven Wonders of the […]

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 […]

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.

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 […]
