TR from Saturday’s Hike

September 13, 2010

Here’s my trip report from Saturday’s hike.   I don’t want you to think I haven’t been writing, dear reader.   I just haven’t been writing very much here.  Lots of email correspondence of late.  I normally write for an hour or two each night – yup, you guessed it:  right before I go to bed. [...]

Trip Report from Last Week’s Hikes

September 9, 2010

So (for now) I’ll just give you the short version.  Inasmuch as that’s possible for this blogger with a penchant for verbosity.

Being Present in the Moment

July 20, 2010

On the ride up to RI at the beginning of my MINIs on Top trip, I popped into my CD player a series of CDs my friend Jason loaned to me two or three years ago:  it was a talk by Eckhart Tolle called The Flowering of Human Consciousness.  It was pretty good – both [...]

Peaceful Weekend

July 18, 2010

The last five days passed like a dream.  I was really hoping for some kind of spiritual experience or battery recharge or something when I headed off to the woods last Wednesday.  And I got it.  Well, I got something.  Not entirely what I thought it would be, but something nonetheless. I’ve been looking forward [...]
