"Learning how to be still, to really be still and let life happen - that stillness becomes a radiance." - Morgan Freeman, Actor I'm practicing.....but.....ooooh, ooooooh I gotta run....I've got to go.... I have an appointment. So, you see the challenge. Still amidst mayhem and travail. I'm a practicing 'stillness' artist, feeling flushed all the [...]
Necessary Losses, Necessary Humor... This week has presented all manner of choices in my world....mostly on the perspectives I might best adapt. We make plans, reach out, pull inside, rally a bit, rage perhaps, break down, stand up, smile, meet, call, sit, watch, dream, fall back, write, write, write, write....sleep, imagine, engage fantasy, move forward [...]
I've always produced. Always. I was making up skits and plays when I was 4, dressed in plastic high heels, often wore a cape like Mighty Mouse (from the cartoons), and would jump off chairs feeling rather 'mighty' myself. At one point I thought it'd be fun to be an elephant when I grew up, [...]
A colleague sent me a card today with the following quote... 'The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace things, but burn, burn, burn, [...]

"We do not see things as they are. We see them as we are." - Talmudic Proverb Ahhhhhh says me as I transform a funk into a lotus flower. Why? Because I can! One must ALWAYS leave room for an opening! And FYI.....In Hinduism and Buddhism the lotus flower symbolizes awakening to the spiritual [...]
When we forget....there is just no simpler way to put it. Forget or perhaps revert....to old ways that just don't work anymore. It's like getting stuck in the gutter lane when bowling....you're cruising along just fine and then suddenly your tire hits the berm, and oooooh, you lean to the left hoping it won't get [...]
Twelve years ago my world flipped around, me like a cat in a dryer....a sturdy Maytag, adament on keeping me tumbling for some time.... Twelve years ago my mom died. Kathryn Royer Vogel Myers Banta Richards Richards Vogel, left the physical plain and I was catapulted into 'adulthood'. Feeling her soul leave her [...]
Have you ever noticed when something shifts...needn't be a major life event, nonetheless, it's a shift of magnitude that takes place somewhere, somewhere within yourself. You wake with a new view of your world somehow. The greens are greener, the smells, better than you remembered. The house you've lived in for several years is more [...]
