Fantastic interview up on the Waking Up app: The Dark Side of Meditation. I’ve listened twice so far, since I listen while multitasking, inevitably missing out on portions, but this topic rarely comes up (Let’s face it, in our day-to-day circles, there are already enough detractors, so who wants to fill the inspirational space withContinue reading “Come to the dark side…”

Bubbles & Wings
Today, after a full night of tossing and turning, I felt it… a spark of innocence floating in the air. It seemed very real, yet somehow not of the same universe or substance as the rest. I watched, my inner vision locked in on the hint of the glimmer, as just like the Good Witch’sContinue reading “Bubbles & Wings”
Forget monkeys, what about spider mind?
Although I’ve loved meditation for a while, I had begun to coast with it, keeping it as mostly a tool behind glass in case of anxiety emergencies. It wasn’t that I wasn’t sitting, but rather I’d stopped exploring with wide-eyed curiosity. No more.

Wondering where the singing gecko is? You’ve arrived. 🙂
Many changes flowed from the dawning of this new day, almost all of them quite subtle and light…
The Singing Gecko, a Story – Part 2
Most “serious adults with responsibilities” find it hard to relax, to allow ourselves to open up and play with life. Perhaps that’s why we remember the moments we do, so clearly. Having shared the early stages of my romance with awareness in Part 1, this tale becomes more fun. So… I was fairly content with theContinue reading “The Singing Gecko, a Story – Part 2”
The Singing Gecko, a Story – Part 1
What I’m about to share took place more than ten years ago. So much has happened since then! But, it is a whimsical little story, about a pivot point in spiritual exploration that holds a sweet spot in my heart. Curtain opens to a typical therapist’s office. Lots of books, comfy sofa withContinue reading “The Singing Gecko, a Story – Part 1”
Looking Back (2017) – The Twin Peaks Post
My reflection on 2017 is not complete without writing at least something about Twin Peaks: The Return.
