I think I was 11 years old when I first saw a Redwood Tree. Walking within the eerie primordial mist of Muir Woods, just outside of San Francisco, I was struck by something more awesome than anything I had previously seen or experienced. The forest itself was breathtakingly beautiful, but there was an element of…
Read MoreSomething interesting is going to happen in a few hours. Our sun, the most conspicuous force in the universe beyond the earth itself and apart from our own individual lives within the cosmic reality, is about to disappear — a relatively rare celestial event, at least as far as our single lifetime is concerned; a…
Read MoreDuring the course of any given month I have so many interesting conversations. Perhaps you do as well. One of those that took place at SunRaven recently concerned our use of language, and two words in particular, derived from the same root: disciple and discipline; strikingly similar but worlds apart. And coincidentally, as it often…
Read MoreA young man visited SunRaven a few weeks ago. He was applying for the job as our farmer for the upcoming season. Among many other things that impressed me about him, along with his vibrant energy and enthusiasm, was something he wrote in his cover letter. Indeed, he deserves the credit for the title of…

Read MoreLast week I had the privilege and the opportunity to spend a week of teaching at Rancho La Puerta, the oldest “health resort” in North America, founded by Edmond and Deborah Szekely in 1940. Indeed, they were way ahead of their times. What began as a simple high mountain oasis is now a lush landscape…
Read MoreNow a month into the New Year let’s take a moment to reflect. How are you doing? How are you really doing? In particular, if you made resolutions four weeks ago, how is that going? Chances are, in our typical tendency to be harsh on ourselves, you might feel that you are already a little…
Read MoreI just read that recently and felt that it was worth noting here as well. Indeed, that’s a powerful concept – the emptiness of expectation, and the fulfillment found in the now. There is deep truth and wisdom in the suggestion. And, that being the case, I’m not sure these words need that much explanation.…
Read MoreThe election result is an actually a reflection of a deep wound that exists now; a rift, that might have been partially healed, that is pulling apart once again. Just like a wound on your little finger, it’s quite sensitive; and it’s once again prone to infection and worse if it’s allowed to fester. In…
