I have come to recognize it….
I have come to recognize it: I have remembered myself. And since the day I remembered myself I have been in a strange situation; I feel compassion for you, and deep down I also giggle at you, because you are not really in trouble. You don’t need compassion, you need hammering! You need to be hit hard on the head! Your suffering is bogus. Ecstasy is your very nature. You are...
Read MoreRight This Second
Reading at Waimea practice 01/07/2012 I want to know about now the now beneath my fingertips gone already, once aware of itself only in knowing it was, however briefly now, already left redundant not caring what came next any more than what passed, now, not caring whether moments exist when they disappear as footsteps erased by concrete now, no forward, no back, was but a motion carried by the...
Read MoreWill I ever learn it all?
Reading at Koloa and Anara practices 12/02/2012 Tell me what you will my blue winged friend Did you hear me from where you drifted on the wind?

Read MoreOn Birthdays and….
Reading at Koloa practice 10/31/2011… When you don’t believe in birthdays, the idea of aging turns a little foreign to you. You don’t fall into trauma over your sixteenth birthday or your thirtieth or the big Five-Oh or the deadly Century. You measure your life by what you learn, not by counting how many calendars you’ve seen. If you’re going to have trauma,...
Read MoreThe Essence of My Practice
Reading at Waimea practice 10/15/2011 My practice moves from edge to edge, exploring the limits of a stretch, the inner realm of energy and breath. Each movement plumbs new depths of self-awareness. Who am I now, and now, and now? Who holds this pose with single-pointed focus, or loses the thread of breath and stops to find the center once again? Have I reached my full expression, or is...
