Now that I'm a trippy spiritual being instead of the annoying human doing I was before almost dying, a couple of spiritual books have found their way onto my nightstand. Years ago, while trying to Find Myself, I read them all. Desperate for answers, I read every...

I have a wise friend, a man this time (most of my wise friends are little old ladies). Dick belongs to a club I frequent. He spends half his time in Costa Rica and half his time in a northern clime. Just before he leaves here every year, he says: "Enjoy yourself,...

I just need more to do, idle hands and all that. Maybe if I were busier, I wouldn’t have time to sit around examining my navel. I wouldn’t hear the what because maybe there is no what. Maybe I’m just making it all up for Something Important to do....
