To this day, I am deeply thankful for the Utah-phase of my Peace Pilgrim life – mostly for dramatically allowing me to immerse myself in a Truth I already knew: the Truth of selfless LOVE — the Truth that to truly Love another is to focus 100% on how one is Giving therein and 0% […]
This are actual images from the “Park City cleansing” I engaged before leaving that town in the spring of that year. I like to burn things when I end one particular life-phase and commence another, and often accompany this detachment-ritual by shaving my head as well. It simply feels “clean” and “right” to do so; […]
Later that same year, during a family reunion on Oregon’s “Gold Coast”, I took a side-trip to the pristine beauty of Crater Lake. And here, a humble warning to all: if you ever travel to Crater Lake and want to go swimming, note ahead of time that the water is very cold! Of course, jumping […]
Near the end of that same trip, I enjoyed a brief visit with Duncan & my folks to the majestic Redwoods of northern California; trees that give quite a different (and far more profound) meaning to the words “majestic” and “patience” and “punctual” and “old.” Just as lovely, of course, was hanging out with Duncan […]
And then, in the spring of the following year, I was blessed to facilitate the 14-week “Avant Garde Bible Study” (AGBS) in Chattanooga (with all class recordings & handouts still available online for free download via the links embedded in the same-named category on my website’s Blog page) … “I have said these things to […]
And this was the summer when I also made my third visit to Brattleboro (Vermont) to house-sit for my dear Friends Deb & Mark, caring for their cats (Rocky & Joey) while tidying up the supplemental recordings from that summer’s Avant Garde Bible Study … “Gardens are not made by singing ‘Oh, how beautiful,’ and […]
I then headed back to Germany for a brief visit and enjoyed riding many many many miles of bike-rides with Duncan through the beautiful woodland trails that surround and interlace the Stuttgart/Feuerbach/Weilimdorf area … “I am not bound for any single public place, but rather am destined to roam ground of my own – lands […]
2010 – And also while visiting Stuttgart that summer, I was blessed to join my dear friend Sylvie in participating in my first Peace-full demonstration; not against “Stuttgart 21”, mind you, but rather for the trees that were scheduled to be cut down as part of its planned construction … “He who passively accepts evil […]
Later that same year I was blessed to facilitate the 11-week “A Course in Practical Selflessness” (or ACPS – a.k.a. “Re-emPowering your True Self”) class in Chattanooga (with all class recordings & handouts still available online for free download — again, via the embedded links in the same-named category on my website’s Blog page) … […]
To this day I still give great thanks for this little barn apartment (both begun & completed in 2010 on Alexzanna Farms), for here I was blessed to reside during the latter half of this same year, to this day one of the most productive service-years of my life … “If you have been in […]
In October of that same year I headed to Rhode Island to help a dear Friend “close up shop” before leaving the country (she worked at the time for Doctors Without Borders), and ended up soaking in the wondrous peace of Narragansett Beach while I was there … “Have you ever walked along a beach? […]
