In the 2016 book, Half Earth, Edward O. Watson makes a compelling case for us humans ­– for the sake of our own survival if nothing else – to agree to protect what remains of the intact systems that hold the planet in a steady state, on both land and sea, with critical goals for 2030. Half of t...

I like to connect the dots to two other solutions, both of which in hidden ways contribute to preserving habitat.

Uncertainty certainly fosters fears and revitalizes regrets. Being comfortable with it allows me to greet my circumstances with curiosity rather than constriction, openness rather than anxiety.

A sampling of my personal beatitudes: 1. Blessed are those who are easily satisfied and have few expectations, for they shall rarely want or be disappointed. 2. Blessed are those who take anything anyone says as a compliment, for they shall always have friends. 3. Blessed are those who are flexible,...

It intuitively feels right to explore these elements in terms of surrendering, centering, blending and transforming the war within: thoughtstream shift, allow my inner sage some time on the podium, acknowledge & turn the volume down on my current competing desires, and get outside to let it all perc...

No discussion of the art of peace would be complete without at least a brief mention of four of my personal heroes: Gandhi, Martin Luther King Jr., Nelson Mandela and Aung San Suu Kyi. In the tohubohu that is often the state of our present world, I may not make a huge difference on a planetary, nati...

We all, at various times, experience off the rails miscommunication, feeling attacked, challenging moments. Imagine a partner, family member or co-worker confronting or complaining about you, or what you perceive initially as assaulting or ambushing you verbally. What to do?

Developed in the 1920’s by Morihei Ueshiba, affectionately known as O’Sensei, Aikido combined many threads of existing Japanese martial practices and created a novel and powerful tapestry of training. “To injure an opponent is to injure yourself. To control aggression without inflicting injury...

What is clear to me is that given the onslaught of information we are all exposed to, and the overwhelming amount of it negatively affecting our psyche, our own mental health requires that we pay attention to some basic best practices.

I present a holiday tale that came to me in a dream. Ashe! Hanta Yo! Ameen! Make it so! Achya! Ben Fatto!

Although I normally avoid political issues in these audio musings, I openly share some thoughts about fiscal responsibility, guns and the death penalty, all in contrast to my normal liberal leanings.

Even in darkness and sadness, it is possible to allow, even just this much, the blessings that are always falling down to pe*****te my isolating turning inward walls. The sun on my face, the taste of blueberries, the soft curves of a dog or cat warming itself by the woodstove, the enchantment of fal...

If life is indeed about learning lessons and a lesson tends to be repeated until learned, what is the universe inviting me to “get” right now? Might be fun to journal about what life lessons I have really absorbed. What would be the top three for your list?

Seems like we are programmed for MOTION first and then rest after the movement has provided its calming effect. Friluftsliv is a Norwegian word that translates roughly as “open air life.” A way of life, an entire philosophy that celebrates the commitment to being outdoors, no matter one’s age ...

Mindfulness emphasizes observing what is unfolding, which is clearly useful. Bodily sensations, emotional currents, mental cascades, spiritual flights are ever-present. How to harmonize the immersive flow of those dimensions is the realm of Integrative presence, which involves a supersensitivity to....

Doubt keeps our beginner’s mind shoes sparkling as we journey forward down the trail. To be content to live in mystery is a good thing, a skillful practice, if not easy or simple. Living with uncertainty is a close cousin, and offers its own unique form of freedom—complete with dead ends and dis...

Gratitude transforms whatever I may have into more than enough. Long-term consistent behavior alters the baseline function of the brain.
