I’ve always been a loner. I love going through life improvising and going at my own pace. I like to follow my own intuition, making quick changes and minding my own business. It’s a problem for me whenever I’m in a group situation. I have to follow orders; I’m supposed to be in a ...gimme more
I ran across two clips of a group called The Diamonds singing the same song the same way 47 years apart AND so beautifully! The way they sing, the acoustics, the costume, all has the musty smell of that thing I love to buck – tradition. By observing the joy they express in their ...gimme more
My performance style is improvised on the spot; I channel the great divine. I try to wow audiences with my raw energy. My bravado aside, the truth is that I can never memorize anything. In front of any audience I get totally tongue-tied and frightened to the point of hysteria. I push through the hysteria ...gimme more
There I was, standing in the middle of an Alpine meadow. As far as the eye could see, there was lush green grass and flowers. It was so picture-perfect, like vibrant Technicolor. I knew that this had to be a dream. Tippi, my doggy buddy, comes running up to me, like she always does, tail ...gimme more
My neighbor passed away. I loved him and I will miss him on my walks in the neighborhood. He gave my doggie Tippi treats every time we walked passed his house.

Tis the end of times! Because I Ching & the Mayans say so – Oh no! Tis the best of times! Because I say so – Oh yes! To make 2012 my end of times – Awareness of my every thought! Hey remember: I own this moment! I’m the creator of my reality! Death to ...gimme more
There was once a man who lived in a time when most people thought that “God” was an entity outside of one’s own heart. This man went around saying, “God is my father; he is inside me. God is your father and he is inside you too. There is no separation between me, you, and ...gimme more
You know those allergies that strike in the spring or that cold that pops up every winter and makes your nose all stuffed up? I recently tried this Indian yogi method: rinsing out my nose with a Neti Pot instead of using ordinary tissue paper. It worked like magic!!! I highly recommend it. It’s a ...gimme more
Death is living painlessly, easily and comfortably. You can die without leaving your body at all. It happens very gradually over time, bit by bit. The transition is so smooth that even the person who dies doesn’t always know that they’ve died at all. A life well-lived is a life worth remembering. The first ...gimme more
The icy breeze on my face perfectly offsets the hot sun burning my back. I watch my shadow dance on the pavement as my bicycle glides around the bright orange and brown fallen leaves. Wheee! There is nothing else here but me. I am one with this activity. I am this road, this shadow, this ...gimme more
