He is often referred to as “the Einstein of consciousness,” I have learned so much by reading /studying just two of his books, “ A Brief History of Everything” and “Integral Psychology”. But this book is…… Continue reading Mining for Meaning
Three Dog Circus
You do not have to look long or hard to find something hilarious in everyday life . Here’s my recent experience with one such encounter. I hope my words will do justice to this Three Dog Circus.

Suffering: Three things I know
For the past few weeks the idea of human suffering has been in the fore front of my mind. It started when I heard a talk given by Ken Overberg, SJ at the beginning of Lent on human suffering and our interpretation of it. Fr. Overberg made it clear that suffering is not God’s punishment…… Continue reading Suffering: Three things I know
I Voted Pro Life
I voted for Pro Life candidates in this last election, following my conscious and the teachings of Jesus of Nazareth and the social justice stance of the Catholic Church.

The Sun is Stalking Me
The stalking started when I set up my beach chair and assorted paraphernalia for a nice stint on the deserted white sands of Laguna Beach, Florida. My plan was to while away the afternoon reading and watching the waves roll in from the Gulf. But as soon as I got settled, I realized that the…… Continue reading The Sun is Stalking Me
Clowns & Jokers
Well I think I’m in a better place since my last post. And I have decided on two courses of action for the next four years of a Trump Presidency. First and foremost I will laugh. I will watch every SNL skit, every irreverent video lambasting Washington politics that I can find and listen to…… Continue reading Clowns & Jokers
