(Hope you’ll enjoy this excerpt from my book Forgiveness Offers Everything I Want, available on Amazon.) I did not grow up in a family or community that embraced poetry—I mean, how many American families or communities do? And yet I secretly wrote it as a child, and remain a closet poet to this day. My […]
Faith, Hope and Clarity
(The world may seem pretty hopeless but the power of our decision-making mind to choose a perspective of sanity and compassionate inclusion beckons surely in every moment nonetheless!

Truth has rushed to meet you (in stealth mode; but still!)
I sat in my car outside the university fitness center I belong to after completing another lonely ride to nowhere on a stationary bike.

Even as my iphone continued to […]
See you in September
“Just put on the God-damn glasses,” I said. “I mean, who do you think you are, anyway? Icarus? A two-year old?

I lay writhing in pain in the middle of […]

The unbearable heaviness of being
(Here’s another excerpt from my second A Course in Miracles essay collection, Forgiveness Offers Everything I Want.) The Friday before my daughter’s Spring Break we gathered to remember a 20-year-old college student who had been heading to California on holiday when her personal story abruptly and inexplicably ended.
