I’m writing this to you on November 2nd, which, as you likely know, is: ….. the final day of the Mexican “dia de los Muertos” celebration ….. “All Souls Day” for Christians ….. and the day after Samhain, a Gaelic celebration with Celtic pagan origins…. I’m sharing my seasonal secrets to the hidden power in the darker […]

Summer Book Review #2

Hi there. How’s your Summer? I’m liking mine, though it could use a bit more travel. It has, however, been blessed with a lot of creativity in the recreational sense– but even more so in the occupational sense. I’ve worked a lot, created a lot.

Gods are Us– 2015 Summer Reading Series Pt. 1 (Book Reviews)

“I talk about the gods, I am an atheist. But I am an artist too, and therefore a liar. Distrust everything I say. I am telling the truth.

Build the World You Want from Inside Your Playroom

I want to keep cool and collected as the holidays close in and help you do the same. Here’s the strategy I’m trying. I’m hoping to balance my own meditation-sabotaging thoughts and habits: A new twist. Instead of breathing away negative or sabotaging thoughts as I usually do, I’m gonna see what it’s like to play with them like […]

From the Big Me’s to the Big You’s

All the best that you’ve always been, already are and would ever aspire to be from the vast multitudes in me to the vast multitudes in you. Big Love. ~ t

From me, Rumi & my college professor, to You

Shopping, making plans, sitting in airports, jotting down our new year’s resolutions. So much hustle and bustle in a season that’s about peace and goodwill. What if hustle & bustle is possible while feeling peace & goodwill? (H & B + P & G) We know they co-habitate. They are all us. At once. Sometimes we’re sure […]
