"It can never be said too often that to realize the nature of mind is to realize the nature of all things." ~ Sogyal Rinpoche

:: We held a Padmasambhava Day Tsok Celebration here at the Port Townsend Dharma Center on Thursday night. Thanks to all who participated!

:: The more I investigate, ponder & meditate upon the vast teachings of Buddha Shakyamuni, the more I respect them as practical and helpful.

:: We are not simply evolving, we are revealing the potential of what is already present.

:: Performed some of my music solo in front of a public audience for the first time in a few years on Thursday night. Will play out tonight (Friday) too. This is a major turning point for me. What fun!

"Most... lead lives of quiet desperation and go to the grave with the song still in them."
