Home at dusk

Morning rain drops highlight meticulous work.
Accidental selfie! I was trying to take a photo of the sunset, but didn’t have my glasses on (see the squinting eyes) and hit the wrong button. 🤷🏼♂️😁
Inside and out - through the window.
Sunset last night.

The finale of Concert For Our Lives Maui.
Haleakala looks over us at the skies clear at the start of Concert For Our Lives Maui. What a great day. Thanks to all involved.
Throw back to an unexpected and fun weekend in Newport, OR with an old friend a few years back.

Looking to the Future
Tuesday, February 27, 2018
Do you ever have an event coming up that you are just not looking forward to, indeed dreading? You are mentally counting down the days to when you will have to show up at a time and place that you could quite happily strike off your calendar? That meeting becomes a gnawing presence in your life, making it impossible for you to relax, and difficult to fully concentrate on anything else.

This rather dark photo, a scan from a slide (remember them?!), was taken in 1989 when I was 25. I believe that it was taken somewhere in central Pakistan, perhaps near Lahore? The weather was baking hot, just dry heat, and I was on the start of a trip that would take me up through Pakistan on the Karakoram Highway to the Khunjerab Pass into China. I traveled through China to Hong Kong, and then onto Nepal and India. The journey was to change my life forever with the discovery of Tibetan Buddhism. That odyssey was almost 30 years ago, but some memories from it remain strong. In my latest blog post I explore the the comfort and reassuring power of memories. Link in bio.
Finding Solace in Memories
Wednesday, February 21, 2018
Introverts spend a lot of time in their inner lives. It is what makes us introverts. We sit, process, think, ruminate and so much so that the external world can sometimes be just too much for us. It is why at times we just want to be quiet, or can seem remote, aloof. We are not ignoring you, just looking to find some time to rest from all that activity and noise.
That’s snow on the summit of Haleakala this morning - the first time that I have seen it up there. We had a very brief hail storm down here yesterday and a lot of rain. It seems that it was cold enough for the white stuff at 10,000ft
Another perspective.
When You Doubt Even Yourself

Old habits die hard…even, or maybe especially when they run counter to something that you truly believe in. Visitors to this site will know that aside from working with introverts and highly sensitive people of both sexes, I have a particular interest in working with men as I believe that personality traits that such personalities engender in people can run counter to how society expects men to behave. This can result in introverted and highly sensitive men feeling that there is something wrong with them, for them to deny and suppress how they are feeling and what their needs are, and to generally struggle to speak up for what they need for fear of being judged.
Throw back to street art in the Wynwood neighborhood of Miami.
Slow Sunday.
