Spirit knows how to move me. Spirit knows how to get me out of my chair. Yes, it was a mouse. And I am not honoring mouse just yet. Notice I didn't even capitalize 'mouse?' I had just experienced a wonderful meditation with several Tibetan monks. I was spiritually high and felt… Continue reading The Mouse, the Moon and the Jumping Mother

Grasshopper Is Here Today…
I feel on top of the world today because Grasshopper is at my bedroom window. I am thrilled to see him. Overjoyed, ecstatic. I want you to understand, I am really happy to see my friend. It has been so long, too long, since I have seen him. And now he is at my window,… Continue reading Grasshopper Is Here Today…
When In Fear Carry A Big Light
My dog, Baby, was always right by my side. Except one scary night when she disappeared. Or so I thought... We adopted her from a local shelter soon after settling into our house in Florida. She was an older dog; mellow, sweet and not easily moved. She liked to lay by my side night and… Continue reading When In Fear Carry A Big Light
Coming Out Of My Shell – Sticking My Neck Out
I slowed my car down when I saw the animal crossing in front of me. It stopped right in the middle of the road and turned to look at me.Thankfully there weren't any other cars on the road, so I stopped in front of him, blocking him and protecting him from possible traffic. Getting out… Continue reading Coming Out Of My Shell – Sticking My Neck Out

I wondered why it felt good. Just pacing. I was listening to my usual road trip music. There is this… Continue reading The Pacing Lion

It is cold outside, the snow is beautiful, the sky is gray and I have views out the window down a lovely hill to a pasture and creek beyond.… Continue reading Four Legged Friends
The Wisdom of Tate
I got to ride bareback again today. Getting up on the horse without assistance is still a bit of a comedy. Glad to give the horse, my friend and myself a good comical moment or two. We didn't ride too far and we only trotted a little bit. The greatest joy for me was in… Continue reading The Wisdom of Tate
Bareback Riding
Today my friend in South Dakota took me riding. We rode across vast expanses of prairie without another soul in sight. No telephone poles, no houses, no distant highway sounds. For miles and miles all we see are the grasses, the cattle, the rolling hills, the sky...it is absolutely amazing. I felt like I had… Continue reading Bareback Riding
Earth Medicine
I was back on the road this past summer. After a three year hiatus from touring, I was back at it. It was wonderful to be in my car, radio blasting, running down the highway. It is exhilarating to meet new people and to make a difference in their lives. How wonderful to feel an… Continue reading Earth Medicine
