Up to Sonoma today for a big birthday party for a 0ne-year old.  Will he appreciate it years from now? If enough pictures are taken and saved, he very possibly will.  Will I eat and drink and enjoy myself? Absolutely!  Will I also be thinking about my writing?  Absolutely!  Will there be any breakthroughs? I’ll […]

Enough talking about it.  I’m going to spend the rest of the day editing and working to finalize the Handbook of the New Consciousness.  What happens to it next, is something else. peace…….ag

Just back from the gym.  It’s amazing, at this age, how rapidly you can lose vitality, stamina, energy, and all that good stuff by simply missing a workout or two.  So here’s a thought I had while sitting on the potty before going swimming.  Once the poop is in the bowl, it’s certainly not a […]

So I just got a hit to do the Watts Knew article.  Alan Watts was a teacher of consciousness.  He took you to where he was and challenged you to join him. I once met his son who told me a limerick his father had composed. There once was a man who said, “tho It […]

So back to work.  Once again I realize that there is nothing I ‘have’ to do.   It should all be fun… something I ‘want’ to do.  How about a major opus… The Roving ‘I’ that would include The Tao, The Handbook, and my own personal story to generate people thinking of their own experiences. Plus, […]

So I’m back in San Francisco after a short trip to Palm Springs.  Am I ready to get back to my writing? No. Another day at least.  For now, I’ll take a nap, thank you. peace……..ag

One more day in the desert and back this evening to San Francisco and temperatures half as high (in Fahrenheit) as they are down here.  Amazing how humans can adapt to so many things.  And Neal… Thanks for a lovely vacation. peace……..ag

Today we head out to the casino.   The fact that the casino also hosts a reportedly superb buffet doesn’t hurt the lure of the place.  I have allocated $100 to gambling. We’ll see what I come back with.  Will I be able to keep a spiritual mind set in the face of casino energy?  We’ll […]

So I’m back after riding around Coachella Valley.  Desert and sand and beautiful palm trees in places where people have done landscaping.  Other than that, desert and sand and sand colored buildings all placed along the sides of Route 111.  So much has been done and still so much open space.  Walking from the car […]

I head down to Palm Springs tonight to visit a friend for the weekend. Temperatures there have ranged up to 120 degrees… over twice the temperature here in San Francisco.  I am actually looking forward to experiencing it… not for long, mind you, but just for the experience.  Sort of like the sky diving I […]
