the paradox of love and belonging...

'the people on the other side'...

a clear connection...

the 'Heart medicine' of being together...

we keep going...

meeting people in books...

the things we worship...

Hope happens...

there is no accident...

Love, like fire...

Miracles happen...

This breath is a bridge...

Starving to give...

Sustain faith...

How to see?

We are here...

It is worth the risk to reach...

A liturgy of surprise...

I heart the Internet...

The Tattooed Buddha: Snapshots of Meditation

On the matter of mattering...

To a 'goodnight' gone, and those still to come...

Making is supposed to BEE fun...

Where the quiet comes to speak...

A search to see the light...

Your heart is a secret...

Something like rest...

I write because...

Starting over...

Between success and fiasco...

Stretching towards the sun...

Re-reading...

What if we tried?

Infected with questions...

"Here" is where the hurt lives...

Belonging is an event, Faith is the search...

"Being" is hard, "being-alone" is harder...

Of clarity and questions: mystery builds upon mystery...

Dharma, Poetry, & Practice: An Interview with John Brehm

Blessed are the curious...

Write the questions, live the answers...

Art is the gift of giving ourselves...

16 drops of rain...

The best writing advice I've ever read...

Consolation of the common place...

A wounded rising...

We are the scars love leaves...

Hope is not a feeling...

Dagger-words?

Speak to the stone...

Failure perfected...

A crash, a hope, and a book review...

What if, maybe, perhaps...

The piece of the mystery we manage to touch...

Express your deep truth...

I am a father...

Poetry saved my life...

I was born running...

A crooked hopefulness...

I make things: An Audio Sketch...
