Being autistic

May 15, 2022

Transcript: So about a year ago I learned something new about myself. I began to suspect that I’m autistic. So I approached a psychologist, and we had some meetings, and I took some tests. And when the meetings were done and the scores came back, the answer was yes. I’m autistic. Now as you can…  Read More…

Cultivating nature spirituality

January 28, 2022

Transcript: It’s a question that comes up a lot: How does a person start practicing nature spirituality? So today I’d like to talk about two practices in particular.

Turning our faces into the water

August 14, 2020

Transcript We stand in waist-high waves and slip on our fins. The world around us is blue—a surface of rippling sapphire stretched out to the horizon.

Opening to beauty

September 29, 2017

The scene above interrupted our dinner one recent evening, the sunset glow too beautiful to do anything but stare. We stopped eating and simply looked. Long golden rays kissed the tips of chamisa and rose and wild hyssop and Russian sage in our garden while at the same moment lighting up the Sandia Mountains a…  Read More…

When your still small voice has a name

August 2, 2017

A few years ago I took up a spiritual path, a story I tell in Tamed by a Bear. I was in my fifties, a longtime spiritual skeptic and a veteran of several bookish careers, and I got won over by a bear. A spirit bear. A bear who tells jokes and chuckles at me….  Read More…
