Recently, I traveled to Denver for the International Symposia for Contemplative Studies. It was a conference all about how we can foster awareness and compassion for ourselves and others. A heavy name for an effort at lightening one’s mental load. I was there in my role as a professor and...

I Can't believe I wasn't going to even participate. I just reached 37,065 words today putting me over 12,000 words ahead of the game. The story though, is blowing my mind. It has fallen together like a two piece jigsaw puzzle. This is the most complex thing I have ever written, with such...
