  • Loosening up and making mistakes

    I miss eating. I love eating. Before I got sick, I was a vegetarian. I ate at the local Indian restaurants a few times a week. I ate tasty salads with tons of ingredients, including hard boiled eggs. I cooked… Continue reading

  • Walking in Circles

    (Thursday’s post) I spent the day out of focus. I was trying to pack for a trip to visit my friend John and his family in Columbus. Instead, I talked on the phone, made a trip to an ashram to… Continue reading

  • The joys of herxing

  • A Perfect Day

    Weekend Report I had a wonderful time this weekend. The retreats I go to are with a few (non-religious) groups that I’ve known for about a decade. This particular group is very affectionate with me. I got tons of hugs.… Continue reading

    There is a phenomenon that I’ve experienced over and over since I’ve been sick. I call it waking up, but it usually happens when I’m already literally awake. It goes like this: I have a number of consecutive days (somewhere… Continue reading

  • Rearranging my schedule

    As I increase the amount of time I coil, I need to do it in several sessions over the course of the day. This should be pretty simple, as I have a lot of unscheduled time. Of course the reason… Continue reading
