Connection
We need now more than ever humane connection Even and especially during our time of social isolation In between our hand and body disinfection… There is time to ponder our hearts course of direction And the space to wander in our creative inspection The time to have some real self reflection And listen to the real […]

Vacating the present moment is not a vacation
When we leave the present moment, our bodies minds and souls we vacate. No one home to advocate for our our precious internal real estate. We allow vagrant thoughts and energies to infiltrate. It is a way of abandoning our own territory. Becoming our own bodies expatriate. The fullness of our experiences we will truncate. Our […]
Busy-ness as a Boundary
I am busy you say… Assuming the victim stance, Or the self importance glance. Saying its all about the finance. Needing to somehow self enhance. There is no room for magic-no place for perchance! Definitely no space or time for modern dance! Where is the time for Romance? A trip to The Tuscan hills or Paris […]

Wanting it all?
What’s the deal with wanting it all? Why this myth do our minds enthral? The mirage we pursue as a big windfall. Having no sense of its impending downfall. Succumbing to live in the urban sprawl, We push, we fight, we play hardball In spring, summer, winter and even fall. When we begin to falter, […]
Soft is the new Strong
Soft is my new strong This is my new years song Feeling good cant be that wrong Changing a belief thats been lifelong is something that I can not prolong. It’s a whole new territory this new theme song. Sometimes I feel like the modern Neil Armstrong. I give myself permission to pause before moving on. […]
