This morning began with a little exercise from everyone’s favorite alien Bashar of “acting out” –– more than just visualization, really carrying out things out, almost in a play-acting way (like a kid pretending to be a rock star singing into a hairbrush.)  I won’t ...

Tonight I was chatting with Dan on the phone about his new-found love of yoga, and I said something that was utterly preposterous, even in context.   Something like, “Well, my opinion here might be a little outside the norm” –– as though ANY of my opinions are anything but. But I’ve had m...
