We have founded this system on a tower of paper… are we so surprised it has ripped beneath our feet? We can restabalize with Wisdom and Love… not Anger and Violence.

“Illusion is believing the visible iron is more real than the hidden gold…”
Celebrate Compassion- 108 Lives Project
What is the root of our desire to take away the suffering of others? Is it a gift of the human heart to look on others with compassion? And what happens when our intellectual mind veers us away from that earnest and deep seeded love? What is the cause for us to rename our feelings of compassion- ‘pity’, or ‘relief’, or ‘apathy’?
One of my first memories of true...
Erica Abbott of Sera May Monastery
Tuesday night, I lost one of my dearest friends, Erica Abbott, in a cycling accident here in our Brooklyn neighborhood. She was a profound dancer, a newly named Bodhisattva (think, Superhero), and my personal style icon- 6 inch leopard print peep toe wedges, yes ma’am ☺
Yesterday, we called our Sangha (spiritual community) together at the Three Jewels in...

Autumn. Changing leaves. Changing temperature. Changing light. I think Fall is my favorite season. It acts as a steady reminder of time passing, how the world- how everything- constantly changes. It is important to remember that we are all of this planet and to stop and take in the colors before they’re gone.
I am deep in my spiritual training with Michael Hewett- Sarva Yoga Academy....

ZEN thought of this evening (dedicated to my Camp Stanley family):
Leap, and the net will appear.

A NOISELESS PATIENT SPIDER
~Walt Whitman
A noiseless, patient spider,
I mark’d, where, on a little promontory, it stood, isolated;
Mark’d how, to explore the vacant, vast surrounding,
It launch’d forth filament, filament, filament, out of itself;
Ever unreeling them—ever tirelessly speeding them.
And you, O my Soul, where you stand,
Surrounded, surrounded, in measureless...

Spring Challenge!!!
Listening to the leaves open… difficult to do in the city.But as the springtime sun reappears after its chilly absence, I am content to breathe deeply into the sunshine and begin the spring cleaning of my mind and spirit.
The last week for me was filled with general clutter, doubt, and a list of blockades standing in my way.
So, I’m doing something to change my way of thinking-...

Renew and Restore with me Tonight @ 6pm!
“They say it’s spring… that makes me light as a feather…” ~Erin Mckeown Well, I guess it’s true. I don’t know about any of you- but suddenly I have energy and light busting out from under me! The tree outside my window is starting to bud leaves and I can’t believe it has been a year since I left my long time home of Boston. It’s time to...
Good day sunshine!
I am in Miami. I say this not to make you jealous (though you should be :) but because home time is essential. I was born and raised in South Florida, but over the last five years, my visits home can probably be counted on less than two hands. Up until this visit, though, I never fully grasped what being from a place really feels like.
Yes, it’s March, and the middle/ end of winter in...
The Art of Creativity
As another month begins, I find myself taking inventory of the successes and limitations I put on myself and my daily practices. As a writer, I find myself constantly reminding myself that allowing myself to focus on the present is the surest route to creativity. It is, as always, a daily practice… But, in honor of finishing a song last night I am re- sharing one of my favorite lectures...

Have you Namaste'd Today?
Last summer I had the amazing experience of travelling to Maine, shacking up in a pink cabin for two weeks, and working with a fantastic group of kids and counselors to create a “Total Theater” production. Camp Stanley was the place- and every camper had a voice and a talent for contributing fun and humor to our camp lives. In fourteen days we had written a script, two songs, built a...
