The present moment is all there actually is. You are Now. We hold ourselves back with claiming our history … everything from our past … our habits and the way we have always done things, the accomplishments or trauma we have endured, etc. How else are we to think? Aren’t we our history? It is…

I once had a friend who owned a hot air balloon. He was a really good friend and we had a lot of fun together. When you own a hot air balloon, you’re a pilot and you have to put in so many hours and log them to keep your license by the FAA. So…

I watched the movie “Vice” last night. This is the movie about Dick Cheney made by Adam McKay. Approaching it with balance, it was very good. Please do not apply a label to me regarding politics … or polytricks as my Rasta brothers say. I am an independent in the most personal of ways. I…
