Tuning In/Tuning Out

There’s an old joke about a guy who lives next to a train track all his life. Every night the B&O comes through at about 2 AM, so loud and close that the floor boards rattle in the guy’s house.

Reiki and the Daily Obstacle Course

Some days seem to be laid out in an obstacle course of hassles and distractions.

Everybody’s Right

One day when we were all rather bored in college, somebody came up with the idea of creating stories based on the cover of Cat Steven’s album “Tea for the Tillerman”. I don’t recall what those stories were, as we went around the room. I do recall that, after a quite detailed bit of fiction,Continue reading “Everybody’s Right”
