Ironically, we are all too often educated out of rather than in to an awareness of the body.

Human connections are deeply nurtured in the field of shared story.

Sometimes my life has been Odyssean - landing on strange islands of consciousness and reality and meeting very curious monsters who turn out to be very great teachers. Sometimes my life has been a quest for a grail of knowledge and education. Like Parsifal, my life has been a quest to pierce the veil, stumbling along but eventually finding it.

The more you love, the more loving you become. That's just the way it works. It is a generosity of spirit.

We are the love, the lover, the loving, and the love. It is the Supreme. It is the deepest force in our lives.

Now is the time when we must renew ourselves and live as if we and all of life is sacred, and as if everything we do makes a difference.

I often wonder if you wrote your memoir today, if your life story would be lived on the edge of possibility, if you held wonder in one hand and courage in the other and truly believed that anything was possible.
