…and a(nother) good time was had by all. Here are a few of the pictures I took. It was seriously overcast and somewhat sprinkly and cool outdoors. That alone will prompt another visit soon when it’s sunny. The outdoors is magnificent. Aside from the high tension wires and local vegetation, I could imagine myself transported to India. Between my visit in 2017 and this one I have continued to learn…

Towards the end of my first 200 hr of IYT at Kripalu Center, 2000) we were asked to choose a topic that we wanted to study using the techniques and practices we were learning. I struggled to find a topic. Specialization was contrary to my personal philosophy of Yoga. I wanted to be skilled in ways to help everyone. But choose I did and I narrowed it down to stress…

Geometric drawing has taken me on quite a cultural journey. Today, I understand why geometry is sacred. Initially I became interested in what is known as Islamic geometry. Examples of it’s artistry are found around the world and on this website. In holy and humble places, the patterns are everywhere once you *see* them. Straight lines dominate but movement, fluidity, and spiraling is evident, especially with the addition of the…

I’m now in my seventh decade of life here, this time around, and find myself still firmly rooted in the same vicinity of my birthplace, Neptune………… New Jersey, that is. The fact that planet Neptune is located near the nadir of my horoscope is a constant source of amusement. Synchronicity, you know? During High School I was on the staff of The Megaphone, the APHS newspaper. At one time I…

SUNDAY, OCT 9, 2016 1:30 pm East Brunswick Public Library, 2 Civic Center Drive. NJ I’ve attended the Harper’s Escape weekend intensive maybe 6 times, and now that I’ve finally gotten the ‘hang’ of it, it’s ending. After 25 years Kathy, the director, and one of my most favorite teachers, is retiring this event. So sad. But, I do understand. The details above is for the final public…

I have so many questions for you today. I wish you were here. I miss the quiet, calm, presence we shared when we sat together. What would you make of this world in 2016? I’d love to hear what you’d say regarding the current political situation! And, there’s no doubt in my mind that you’d be sitting with at least half a dozen digital screens around you….you were pre-geek. Well,…

A few weeks ago while at the Grounds for Sculpture (GFS) with Storyteller’s Mosaic I told a story about Paris and seeing the Mona Lisa. It was a fun day for everyone. The weather was wonderful and the Grounds were a spectacular backdrop to the event. Truly, the GFS is NJ’s best kept secret. It’s fascinating to me what gets stirred up in the universe when we tell a story…..spiritually…

I’ve been back for nearly a month now, yet Paris lingers in my mind. The Eifel Tower was my #1 must see and we got there on the first day. The night before, we wandered around an amusement park near our hotel and when we got near the top of our ferris wheel ride I got my first glimpse! So exciting! Hard to get the *feel* of it all…

Heading to the NJ State Folk Festival this weekend where I’ll see one of my favorite harp teachers. I’m really excited to hear some current folk music. It’s been a while. As a “baby-boomer-extraordinaire” I spent countless hours listening to people like Joni Mitchell, James Taylor, and Tim something?…… It’s a maritime theme this year and I just attended a local photowalk and took these pictures (scroll down) experimenting with…

This Sunday is The NJ Storyteller’s Festival and I’ll be on a stage at 4pm. Me and stages have had a comfortable relationship thruout my life. I’ve been on them many times, for many reasons, with groups and solo a lot, too. But, this time, it feels really new and different and scary/exciting……. I’m telling a personal story that my parents might seriously disapprove of. But, I am soon to…
