The Mother and Her Little Boy Playing in the Snow
Downtown Park Rapids today, I watched out the bookstore window as a mother and her young son threw snow at each other. The boy, maybe seven or eight, got snow in his face. The mother wrapped him in a big hug, kneeling down to gather him up in her arms. I could see they were both laughing. The scene mesmerized me. My son Sam is home on winter break from his first year of college. He announced with great pride that he had survived his first semester and now knows two things about himself; he doesn’t need to eat or...
Read MoreMemory
Memory is tricky. I called my older sister years ago to tell her that I had her music books from grade school. She took piano lessons for four years, but had totally forgotten about it. I do not think it was until she saw her name written inside the books that she believed me. Regressing clients to long lost memories is not necessarily to have them see things exactly as they happened, but rather as they are remembered. We forget so much more than we remember; yet our behaviors, beliefs and attitudes are based on...
Read MoreThoughts about Reincarnation

Where did they come from? Parallel lives? Other planets? Fun stuff to think about, but after...

“What’s the most resilient parasite? An Idea. A single idea from the human mind can build cities.

We know the kind of person we’d like to be—a thin, healthy, nonsmoking, confident, successful, outgoing person. But the reality we experience can be far different than that idea. The movie Inception has really inspired me, validated for me in a sense, the idea that we are...
Read MoreClearing Space
I am taking an independent study class with John Amoroso, and once a week I am assigned to write a journal about what I managed to accomplish as far as writing my novel is concerned. I have been lamenting the fact that my word output has been miserably low. John told me that when an artist is moving from the incubation phase to the actual creation phase she often cleans her workspace. Today I impulsively rearranged the library where I work. All I really did was move my desk from one side of the room to the other...
