MORNING PRACTICE FOR ITINERANT SOULS I’m a pretty positive and productive guy, and I can trace a bunch of that to how I try to start the day. A non-sectarian look at the struggle and sweetness of a devoted morning practice for the mind, body, and spirit. I’m no “expert” and this is WHY this 43 pages can help you get and keep yourself together! (More about this book)

OLD VANS & NEW PLANS Poetry & writings from a few years back. I was having problems with a knee and put together some deep pieces on direction, path, and times of change.

TOGETHER BY CHOICE Birdsongs come to life in a couple of small workshops in the woods. These came to life by the hands of a community circle we helped form in the mid 2000s. For those interested in coming together rather than continuing to fracture, here is the nuts and bolts – and stories – from how we got a diverse group on the same page and working together. It documents the first year. I started writing it in 2009.

FEEL BETTER ANYWAY Vol. 1: THOUGHTS FOR MONDAYS As part of a positive, encouraging outreach into a world coming apart, I started a www.feelbetteranyway.com website to go with the little Monday morning posts on Facebook I called “Thought for Monday…” A lesson or realization from my week was distilled down to a sentence or two and gently tossed into the pond of humanity in hopes its ripples would do some good. This book collects a bunch of them.

SEEKER’S COMPANION Notes from one seeker's path through music, woods, and a trip through San Francisco. A journal of thoughts along a pilgrimage to a concert of San Francisco bands, a set of poems and writings from the first years going back to the land, guidance and wisdom from elder roadmen on perspective and practice, placed in a meeting of one seeker and one teacher. In deep with moments that stirred a soul to awaken and blossom, in hopes these words can help you in finding - or along - your spiritual path.

MAKE ME ONE WITH EVERYTHING Poems, lyrics, and writings from the path on connection in uncertain times. The title is the punch line to the old joke about the existentialist walking up to the hot dog cart. There’s a little bonus for you for the next family gathering! Look at them all as if you’ve just told the single greatest joke in history. “Hah? Hahhhh?”
