Rediscovering the Path of Least Resistance

Years ago I read the book  The Path of Least Resistance by Robert Fritz. I haven’t thought about the basic concept embedded in the book’s title in many years. Today, however, I gave in to that concept.
I’ve been fighting…resisting…doing anything but what I thought I needed to do. “I have work,” I have thought. “I [...]

Prayer in Odd Places and Odd Times

I’m determined to put spiritual practice back into my life. I’ve been struggling for a year at least to find the time for a sustainable practice.

I’m Back wtih Post Shavuot Thoughts

After more than a one month absence, I’m back…sort of. I feel a bit like I’m only half here, since my life seems just a bit crazy still. You see, while I teach people how to live life fully, mine has just a bit over full lately and totally unbalanced. I admit it; all I’ve [...]
