  • Raw Potatoes And Other Dining Adventures
    I admit it: I’m a big fan of the Law of Attraction. It’s become one of the focal points of my life and of my coaching and teaching practice. However, I’ve discovered that there is one drawback to the Law of Attraction: It takes all the fun out of complaining! Once you understand the basic principles of the Law of Attraction you know that whenever you complain, you’re in the process of attracting more of exactly what you’re whimpering about.

    Here’s a case in point. This pa...
  • Arachnophobia And Other Fears
    We had a little excitement this morning at home. My wife came out of the bathroom and said, quite calmly, “Ed, there’s a big black spider in the bathtub.” Since I was watching my daughter, Ella, at the time, I carried her in there to investigate. I was a bit surprised that my wife did not call it a Brown Recluse. That’s our running joke. She grew up in Brown Recluse territory, and so whenever she sees a brownish spider she says “Ed, I just saw a Brown Recluse. Go get it.” I g...
  • No-Thingnesss
    From Silence . . . Sound
    From Stillness . . . Flow
    From Emptiness . . . Form

    OK. Time for a pop quiz: If it were possible to remove all the "empty space" from your body, the actual physical matter that remained would fit:

    A. Inside a bread box.
    B. In a wine glass.
    C. On the head of a pin.
    D. Inside an amoeba.

    Here's a hint. Think small. Really small. No, even smaller than that. Think down to the subatomic structure of your body: Protons and Neutrons, Quarks and ...
  • The Fire Of Desire
    On a recent early morning, I sat on the floor beside my daughter Ella, writing in my journal as she stretched and bounced in a desperate and unsuccessful attempt to reach her favorite butterfly finger puppet. Aware of Ella's growing frustration, I wrote about my own frustration with the speed at which I am moving toward one of my primary goals. Just as I wrote that, Ella's persistence overcame the force of inertia and caused her to fly forward toward the butterfly, landing fa...
  • Mental Muscle Memory
    When I was actively training at the Karate Dojo, every workout included time spent repeating individual techniques over and over and over and . . . well you get the idea. We would stand in a circle and count off by tens and twenties, punches, chops and kicks, as the Sensei and senior students came around correcting our form. During one of these sessions, a senior student explained the concept of Muscle Memory and why it is important to repeat the movement so many times.

  • Surrendering To Freedom: Stepping Into Grace
    Earlier this month as I sat at the desk by the upstairs hall window, looking down on the blossoming apple trees and the vineyard beyond, I suddenly heard a fluttering sound behind me. A house finch had flown into the open window at the other end of the hall. I watched her fly around the hall and into my office where she began banging against the window, struggling to find a way out.

    I entered my office and watched as she flew against the window unaware that the just 10 in...
  • Are The Stars Out Tonight? Reconnecting With The Power Of Mystery
    On a crisp June night I’m lying in my sleeping bag at 10,000 feet in the Sierra’s Desolation Wilderness. Here, far from the light and haze of the Bay Area, the sky is deep black, but thick with twinkling dots and dim wisps of cottony light. When I look from the corner of my eye, the dim lights become more defined, easier to perceive as stars. To count them all would take years, if it was even possible. The number seems incomprehensible. And the mystery of what could exist out...
