The Here There and Everywhere of Change

Our latest explorations about how the brain works turns out to be a journey into where mind is located. Many functions of the brain go on in the background, out of sight of our awareness. Some of what the mind does is in our consciousness, we know that we know. Jack Kornfield and Dan Seigel […]

Bridging Change

How do we get from here to there? How do we get at our most obstinate aspects and create a path to a more refined self? In the picture is the new seismically safer western portion of the under construction Bay Bridge. You are looking at the single suspension tower that will support the skyway. […]

The Niagara Falls of Never Ending Change

All this change is just killing me, but change then births new opportunities. Just when I got my first tour organized an initiative on a ballot shut funding down for just such a tour and with it came to an end a way to book the show. Then, a few years later and another incarnation […]

Controlled Change….

Do we control change or does change control us? Do we blend our reaction to the forces of change and alter its possible more serious outcomes? Is it our lucky day, is it the fact his number was up, did we do everything we could, but even that wasn’t enough? It is odd that our […]

Bound to Change

You’ll find the world is set up to be unpredictable even if you are adamant about insisting things remain the same.

I am fascinated by changes directional nature, that it is by one dimension bound to time…going from present to future…we can’t change the past we are it seems doomed to repeat it. I am also interested in […]

Water as Change

We can be changed. A good sail on a warm day, that can change a person. If we do something for a long time it will have an impact on us. It becomes part of something we reference. We talk about the things we learn and those lessons are often the result of the experiences […]

Route Change, Spring Ahead

Mojave on Monday, Wednesday middle of the San Francisco Bay. Natives of Northern California anticipate seasonal change. Spring arrives and comes at a time and a moment of our dreaming. We know we are anchored to our own sliver of reality, but it is our elixir, today is a moment that intoxicates, it frames the […]

Changing the Change

“There is a twisting four-mile road from the village of Los Osos to Montaña De Oro near San Luis Obispo, California. It winds one lane wide hrough a grove of eucalyptus trees before breaking out upon a clearing of windswept grassy hills, and then comes to a primitive wood bridge spanning a small creek that […]
