About Me

..I've had a varied and interesting life and tend to see the funny side as well as the serious side of things. Life is too wonderful to not be serious about enjoying it - but few question how to best enjoy it: pursuing external pleasures that leave you burned out and burned up, or experiencing sublime internal treasures that uplift and swell your heart - you get to choose! One teacher that has had a profound impact in my life is lovingly referred to as Maharaji. Check out quotes of his in a meditative format at the link below. I am currently working through the Course in Miracles workbook for like the fourth time - reading the lessons with my wife as a shared practice (we did it once before together). Very awesome to practice this as a couple. Drop me a note if you want to... Check out: Maharaji.net
