I just posted a new article on Medium.com. It begins:
“Compassion is a place that dwells within all of us. To act compassionately is simply to feel into and speak from that place. Here we will address our resistances to this place within. We will also explore the nature of compassion, which enables us to feel it, within our own self. The more comfortable with that place we become, the more we are able to speak from it and thereby offer compassion to others. I invite you to rest into this place as you read these words”…

HuffingtonPost.com just published one of my latest articles. It begins:
“We’ve all been there: hearing or reading about the latest popular diet (Paleo, vegan, Mediterranean, the list goes on and on) that claims to know just what, when, and how we should eat. At some point, I just feel like rebelling and eating whatever I want.
“Or perhaps it’s the latest self-help program, full of guidelines for affirmations, prescribed thought, behavior patterns, and so on. These self-help ‘experts’ seem to say, “This is how I live my life, and if you want to be self-improved, you should do this too.” These days, it seems like almost everybody is a coach, telling me how to live my life. I feel like they want to put me in a box just to remind me that I will never measure up and that I am not okay. Enough is enough, and too much has become way too much!”…

I just published a new article on LinkedIn.
It begins:
“It’s 2 a.m., my usual rising time. My wife and children are all fast asleep. The house is silent, lit only by an occasional nightlight. I quietly slip out of bed, and make my way down the stairs to my home office. I flip open my laptop, the only source of light in the room, and settle before it in my armchair. I have no particular purpose or intention at that time. I am just there, in quiet stillness, allowing my still, peaceful, nighttime awareness to float where it may.
“This is the time when I naturally reflect upon the status of my life, both business and personal. I feel no need to make decisions or come up with conclusions about anything. I am just there, as my silent thoughts naturally sort themselves out. It is an effortless time. I do not try to direct my intention or focus my thoughts. In their own time, insights or worthwhile, new perspectives arise, as if almost by themselves. I may jot down a word or sentence here or there, just as a reminder for later reference. These reminders need not be complete concepts. In fact, they probably should not be complete concepts. They just serve as reminders that I can come back to later during the busy times of day to deal with in an active way”…

HuffingtonPost.com just published another of my latest articles.
It begins:
“Linguistics, the study of language, has its origins in something far deeper, far more innate and primordial than most scholars recognize. The essence of language is rooted in the very essence of life. The sounds that birth existence and life are the same root sounds that are the essence of all language. By living in harmony with those root sounds, we cultivate a life in harmony with our very essence and with all of nature. The information will be brought out here with the same sequentiality that is common to every human being on earth, starting at the beginning with Mama”…
