“Run, run, keep running until you can run no more … then take another step” It’s a warm summer evening, circa 500 BC. You’ve finished your shopping at the local market, (or agora) and you look up at the night sky… blood-red, filled with fatigue and the sl...

I taste the ancient wells drunk by the people you have nurtured Inside your pits and your metal caves I smell your water Water is life and we seek it like the meaning of family Blood and veins run deep Photo by Brigitta Schneiter on Unsplash I traveled down windi...

San Franciscans once had a well-earned reputation for finding literally any excuse to dress up in costume for a theme party. We are, after all, the city that invented Santacon, Burning Man, the Brides of March, Bay To Breakers, the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, and a slew of other event...

I fell in love with Japanese culture very early in life after exposure to sushi, anime and electronics made in Japan. I was 12 when I had my first sushi dinner, but it would be 15 more years before I finally flew to Tokyo. Landing in Narita airport and experiencing Japan for the first time was so su...

Relationships with guides (like all relationships), need to be developed over time — and when you first begin to connect with your guides, that relationship is in its stage of infancy. We often start out too big when it comes to asking for guidance from our spirit guides. We want ...

I enjoyed the peaceful and relaxing energy and I had never really experienced anything quite like it before. This particular ...

Communing and having tangible contact with those in the spirit world is often seen as a lofty dream, an elusive unreachable concept for many people in the physical dimension/earthly realm — something that’s seemingly only accessible to certain people. There are those who speak of not bei...

The Sherpas originated as several families who migrated from eastern Tibet and settled uninhabited valleys in the Himalaya about 400 years ago. Their name “Sher-pa” reflects those origins: “east-people”. This small group of families brought with them the rich traditions, reli...

October 1867. Smoke hangs over the valley like shreds of silver silk. The autumn dawn is perfectly still; no breeze stirs the chattery cottonwoods. The scent of coffee is strong on the air, and grunts of waking men punctuate the rising birdsong. In the cool shady grove, shards of angled morning sun ...

At long as we perceive life through an agenda of always making the best/superior choice, then the value of every option is determined against this mental scale of worth (our personal hierarchy of value). Only when you let go of fear, such that you do not treat dilemmas/choices as...

While the techniques employed by King Ur differed from the current practices of scientists manipulating DNA to blend diverse creature families, the outcomes are remarkably similar. King Ur’s actions have left an indelible mark, prompting a replication of past occurrences within you. Biologi...
