LSD and the Alternate Reality of Dementia
Being with someone who has dementia is a lot like being with someone on LSD; they are in a somewhat different reality. It seems to work best to get excited for them each “new” realization, when they tell you again what they just said 20 minutes ago. It’s certainly further developing my own capacities for… Continue reading LSD and the Alternate Reality of Dementia
Summer Fades

I can still help teach you how to manifest your dreams by healing the unconscious. I can and will manifest… Continue reading My Ability to Manifest is Not Broken
Being with Changing Times
Chaos happens. It feels like we’re amidst uncertain times. How do we ride this wave of change? Is the Sonoma County blaze, which ravaged our cities and countryside last month, leaving so much disaster in its wake, a freak accident?

Beginning the New Year with Listening

Instead, I found myself working… Continue reading Beginning the New Year with Listening
