What will you do for love?

Wow, I cannot tell you how wonderful it has been to resume outdoor group classes. I love seeing people in the flesh! I’ve even seen some bare feet. I love the beauty and relative warmth of spring. It feels like a homecoming. The wholeness I feel when I am mindfully Read more…

Keep falling in love despite the ache of it

Dear one, I bow to your precious, unique soul. I bow in wonder that our lives are profoundly woven together with the fabric of the universe. I wonder what the world would be like if we lived with this reverence to each other. This morning I’m keenly aware of the Read more…

Teenage perspective on regenerative metamorphosis

This is my current paradox – perhaps you feel it too? I’m needing vast amounts of rest and I am also growing by leaps and bounds. Sometimes these two impulses feel at cross purposes. It’s very strange to be napping when there is so much to do. Some days I Read more…

The quest & why I put flowers in my hair

I love this picture of me from one of my first dance recitals. My first two years of dance, ages 4-5, were at the Temple of the Wings in Berkeley California. We performed in the school’s courtyard surrounded by tall Greek pillars. I can hardly believe that building is real. Read more…

I could not imagine all the good that would come from fixing my mistake.

A few winters ago I was attending a water ceremony by the Mississippi River. It was a very cold morning, I was tired and fuzzy headed, and I still felt new and awkward with the group. When Sharon Day, the Ojibwe elder who leads the ceremony, handed me the sage Read more…

The Wilderness of Quarantine

I’ve often found myself at a loss for words to express my prayers for this time. There is so much going on, how could I begin to think I could honor it all? In the past few weeks my prayer has boiled down to something simple: May all that is Read more…

Unlearning Productivity

I have a confession to make. I
am one of those crazy people who thought the pandemic was going to give me time to write. It’s been a month and I now see my folly. In fact, ordinary life seems to be requiring a lot more energy than usual.

Healing for yourself, Healing for the world
