There is something beautiful and pristine about the pre-dawn morning. I sit in the silence of this space, hearing sounds that are drown during louder parts of the day. My heartbeat is louder, more easily identified. The day is beginning and I feel unrushed which is a feeling unlike much of the rest of the … Continue reading Sunday Musings

My Day Got Misaligned
Today was a normal day. I woke and then headed downstairs to the kitchen. I made coffee and oatmeal for my family, and then we shared the meal. There was pleasant banter about my wife's and son's insomnia last night- they watched Modern Family together while I slept upstairs, oblivious.

One of my favorite scientists and mystics of the twentieth-century wrote: Above all, trust in the … Continue reading The Great Unfolding
Getting caught up… again
I have a morning daily practice that includes meditation, reading, journaling, reflecting. It is a helpful practice and sets me up to keep practicing presence throughout the day. While I know better than to attach a value to my daily practice, this morning was especially good! And having labelled it, I find myself smiling even … Continue reading Getting caught up… again
