This moment right here is the path.
Meditation allows us to become more familiar with our lives. By resting our attention in the embodied moment, we come to appreciate how things are for us. These dishes. This meeting. That reaction. As our capacity to be present with all of it deepens, we begin to touch the path that is our lives.
This is the heart of what meditation has offered me through the years: a growing awareness that this moment, whatever it may be, is my true path in life. This here-ness is my most reliable teacher and guide. Through the practice, I am called back to nothing more, nothing less than this.
Knowing how much this work has enriched my own life over the past several decades, I look forward to sharing the teachings and practices of embodied meditation with you in yours. Whatever your background or level of experience, you will find a range of opportunities and resources here – all intended to encourage and empower as you welcome and explore this moment right here, this path that is yours to live.
I hope you are inspired to join me,

A Capacity For Kindness
I took a tumble in a local mall recently. Making a sharp turn through the gap between a pair of upholstered benches, I discovered there actually was no gap between those benches. A low table occupied the space. Which was a fact that soon had me sprawled on the floor in the midst of Saturday afternoon shopping.
It Was Striking
It was striking. The moment I stepped out of the grocery store, the soft autumn afternoon engulfed me. ‘Embraced’ might be a more appropriate word here, however. So let’s try again: the moment I stepped out of the grocery store, the soft autumn afternoon embraced me.
