Hints and Guesses

Introduction to a Grain of Wheat

So excited to release this podcast about the Christ symbol, and my new audio book called A Grain of Wheat: The Christ Symbol now available on my website.  Enjoy! 

Third Way Consciousness

"We are here to awaken from the illusion of separateness," says Thich Naht Hahn.  In a culture hell bent on separateness, canceling, disassociation, shaming, and division, no wonder we are having such a hard time.  In this episode, I'd like to begin a conversation about the Third Way, a way that emerges between the poles.  I hope you hear something that helps.  Thanks for all your support. Enjoy

Disconnect from the Machine

Crisis means "turning point," an opportunity, as much as a struggle.  This week I discuss practical ways of unplugging from the machine, finding some deeper source, which is needed now more than ever.  "What if you gain the whole world and forfeit your soul?" How do we return to what matters in an age that is deciding for us, what to think, what to buy, what to protest, what to post, what to care about, what to promote, what flag we should fly, and who we should be.  Time for a Sabbath from all this nonsense.    

Time to Hear the Caged Bird

Feeling heartbroken and troubled, now is the time to listen, to the caged bird, to voices from the edge.  I hope you hear some hints and guesses.  

New Batteries, the Marlboro Man, and the Messiah Complex

What are the fantasies we'd like to maintain so our worldview doesn't have to change?  Plus, change your batteries!  Thanks for listening.  Stay safe, stay smart, be courageous.  

What Really Matters?

Just holding the question, "what really matters," seems to be more important right now than quick answers.   This week is about that question, as well as the gifts of silence, severance and solitude.  I also turn to some voices of wisdom, Merton, Berry and Rilke, who have lived through a few things, and still their words ring true. This time period is nothing short of a global invitation to change, but how and when and at what cost all seem to be unanswered.  I hope you hear a few hints and guesses which inspire and challenge.  Stay safe, stay smart, be courageous.  

Beauty and Terror...Just Keep Going

Collision of opposites, Corona, survival dance, sacred dance, abandonment, overwhelm, extrovert, introvert and the possibilities of a greater consciousness.  What a world we live in!  Stay safe and smart and courageous.  

The Vulnerability Hangover

Let's talk about vulnerability, over-sharing, wounds and the fundamental nature of being.  I Hope these hints and guesses are helpful.  Enjoy!

The Hidden Gifts of Anger

Does anger have anything to teach us in a world with so much violence and suffering?  Join me this week for an exploration around anger.  I'll weave threads from David Whyte, Bill Plotkin and Joanna Macy, plus share a few personal stories about my own relationship with anger.  Enjoy!  Or get pissed off.  

I Believe in the Night

A podcast on advent, incarnation, the womb, Rilke, holiday parties, the mall, and the pregnant possibility of sweet darkness.  Happy holidays my friends.  Enjoy!
