Calling all Poets of Life:
Your Hole-y Service is required on Center Stage ....where

The Human
Condition Is Showing

 

There's a familiar saying most of us have heard said... almost as if a blessing:

 

"May you live in interesting times."  

 

Uh, check. And (pause) No, I wouldn't say that would be my first personal wish in a life. It carries an inherent sense of disruption, possibly even chaos.  Nonetheless, apropos--and here we are...

​

Throughout my lifetime thus far, I have remained curiously intrigued with human nature and the creative spirit:

 

What makes us reach out toward love; imagine and create great works of science and art;  tear things up and go to war; find inner solace and spiritual peace; choose to honor or destroy nature and the environment in which we are utterly fettered and dependent.  

​​

So, I just looked the sentence up: 

 

The phrase "May you life in interesting times" is first referenced in published record in 1936 after Nasi Germany remilitarization. Interestingly is it later referenced again in 1966 when Robert F. Kennedy in speaking to students in apartheid South Africa, asks of humanity:

 

"What would you contribute in a period of danger and uncertainty

that calls for extraordinary creativity?"

​

As I look in on our world stage here in November 2026, I'd say Kennedy's question, well summarizes the Human Calling of our times:

 

"What will we each creatively contribute to

keeping our own families safe; our communities robust;

our nation honest;  our environment protected;

our hearts open; and our spirits grounded in vision and faith?"

 

​

 

It is my hope that this website will help spark your own creative ways of becoming ever more enlivened, artfully-present, daringly-inspired, and compassionately-awake to the circumstances we face on the planet and within each of our daily lives.

 

I've spent a lifetime studying the human condition--both formally through my graduate training in Applied Social-Psychology Research ...And through my own foibles and folly as well as the decades I have spent offering Private Spiritual Retreat Intensives to individuals traveling from the world over and seeking to find and follow their own rich inner path of wholeness shared as creative gift.

​​​​

​​

​

I have gathered here the work of a lifetime spent investigating what moves human beings (individually and collectively) through life's trials and tribulations, personal hopes and dreams, deep seated fears and loves, identifications and false gods; through health and illness....  

 

Look at all the ways we are each called by this life we were born into, and at this unique specific time in history.  See what is your own creative and best offering within a rather frayed tangle of change facing this time in history.

​

It is my hope, not that you may live in interesting times. But that, whatever this life brings you, you come to know and stand in the lighted wisdom of this simple guiding phrase:
 

"My Life is My Art"

​

​​​

I hope that this site, and my ongoing life work may help inspire what is next ready to be created and shared by you...  

​

And to those who would like to reach out within this frame of vision, I look forward to connecting.

​

To Life's One Essential Quest...
