Everything in life is about balance. How much we eat, work, sleep, play, create and worship. If we do too much of any one of those things then our lives suffer. But how do we know what the right balance for us is? I don’t believe that we have the same levels that are balanced,…
I’ve noticed that sometimes I get “stuck” – fascinated by an image, continually repeating a task, constantly reviewing a web page or email, or sometimes just repeating a thought over and over. It’s like my record keeps skipping, repeating the same thought pattern over and over.
For those of you who know me you know I prefer to live in an urban environment, preferably in a city. And I’m studying the path of Druidry. It may seem like a bit of an oxymoron, but I’m an Urban Druid. There’s nature all around us in the cities – mushrooms growing in the…
I have to admit .. I’m definitely an inconsistent blogger. I realize that it’s been over a year since I posted here …. and to be honest, I’m not sure I’ve moved much further than then in my spiritual life. I think about it … sometimes … but doing the action seems … hard. Work…
“And in knowing that you know nothing, that makes you the smartest of all.” – Socrates This quote came across my email, and I find myself amused at serendipity.

I frequently take classes from online groups and have worked with both online and in-person groups. This post was inspired by one from…
Recently, there was a thread on a mailing list that I follow about how Druids should rever nature. About how it’s not right to use synthetic incense or products, and we should separate ourselves from the urban world. Umm … not for me. That may be fine for people who think that, but not for…
I find that I have an interesting pattern in my life. I see something that I want to do, and I go for it. Then I realize that I need to change my patterns to accommodate it … and I do. Then I get busy at work, or with other things, or sick, or travel, or whatever…
So it looks like I’m done with work travel for a little bit .. at least for the insane amounts of travel that I’ve been doing lately (4 weeks of travel in the last 6 weeks). To celebrate the “Yay I’m home” I’m going to attempt a couple of challenges. I noticed these challenges this…
In addition to my work with the ADF, I’ve been working with the New Hermetics course from Jason Newcomb. This week’s lesson takes us through an exercise that’s about sending out love to the universe. It’s amazing how just focusing on love can put a smile on your face. We’re not talking about sexual love,…
