This past few months I have faced a new lesson: how to recognize and avoid beng dragged into AI phishing impersonations and threats.  As an author, especially perhaps a would-be successful author, I have experienced a deluge of AI attacks disguised as unbelievable (yes…) boons. A real editor from a major publishing house tells me she has recently discovered my work and she finds it compelling and…

Have you ever wondered about the mystery of how bears hibernate all Winter long? Do they dream while they sleep? What do they dream about? I had a very special, clear dream many years ago. In my dream I visited another planet!I could tell because it was nighttime and there were two yellow moons in the dark blue sky. One moon was bigger and closer than the other, yet both the moons were round…

Thanks to Laney5569, artist for Pixabay.com free images My sister tells me she thinks I should write a book of children’s stories about encounters I have had with wild animals as well as with my recently dearly-departed pets here at the house I am renting. Some of these stories I have written up as ‘waking dreams’ to be included in a book I am working on about dreaming, but maybe my sister has…

from Pixabay.com free images, thanks for this image by Land_of_Books_YouTube Thank You to Psychologist Mimi for “Liking” and thereby reminding me of a post I put up years ago on Rebirth, focussing on the archetypal significance of Butterfly and Phoenix. I am currently undergoing a process of rebirthing into a new Life Chapter; one without the longtime physical companionship of my dear Soul…

I return here to something at least familiar, during a period of major disruption and change. Within six months I have had to say goodbye to my dear Soul companion Sophie (my golden Shorkie, 15yo), then again four months later dear Emily (18 yo, my petite orange tabby cat). Since then, I have also lost my supplemental job as of this May, finalizing 33 years as a professor and 14 prior years…

I come home when I choose to, to an empty nest. For the last seven days since Em’s passing last…

I am grateful to all of you who have read and Liked my posts, even while in recent months I have posted more rarely than usual. Honestly I have been in a doldrums regarding writing. My literary agent (blessed Soul!) has retired and all is on hold with her agency; hence I feel at a loss as to how to realistcally proceed with my current project. But writing, right this moment even, lights my heart,…

Chapter 6 “Arhat, can we ask you something?”  Jenu felt his mouth suddenly go dry. “Go ahead, Jenu, tell him,” Kairn prompted, standing by his side before the tsana class was to begin. “Yes, Jenu?  You have a question about the tsana lesson? Or about the children?” “No, Arhat, it’s something else. I need to ask if you can meet with us, with me and Kairn sometime later today, just the three of…

Hello there!  It has been a long two months or more since last posting. At first I was feeling “I have nothing more to say” after over a decade of blogging, but as you who are fellow writers or storytellers know, that cannot be, so long as we live and breathe. But what I realize is that what I have most to say in these times is to share the story of the scifi trilogy about the art of spiritual…
