Reading Time: 6 minutes (This post is Part II of a three-part series on loving the world inspired by, and including poems from, my newest poetry collection, Pebbles, coming June 1st. See Part I and Part III here.) Behind my home, there is a beautiful trail that goes up into the hills of Mount Tamalpais. I have been walking …
Reading Time: 6 minutes (This post is Part I of a three-part series on loving the world inspired by, and including poems from, my newest poetry collection, Pebbles, coming June 1st.

Practicing mindfulness, focusing on giving, and working on oneself are all important elements of an evolving consciousness. I also wrote about how the spiritual perspective of “being awake” involves waking up from the illusory nature of reality. From a spiritual perspective, human …
Reading Time: 6 minutes Humans have always had an interesting relationship with being right, despite how wrong we are about most things all the time.
