I am home, but…
I am home and I am happy. Seattle is home. It is the only place, other than Afghanistan, that I have ever called home. I love living where I live. I love the rhythm of this place, the air, the water, the familiarity. Most of all, I love who I live with. This is where … Continue reading I am home, but…
Praesens Impavidus
I had my first face‑to‑face practice with a new client yesterday and I was reminded - - - again - - - why presence matters. There is a difference between interaction and encounter.

It may be affection, it may be warmth of … Continue reading Have You Ever Been Carried Away for Him?
Gifts
They matter. Because they speak the silent language of the soul. There are, I believe, three kinds of gifts. The first kind comes from God. Unearned. They are the miracles we breathe without noticing - - - the beating of our hearts, the spark in our minds, the design of who we are - - … Continue reading Gifts
I Am My Brother’s Keeper
Veterans Day used to mean uniforms, medals, and memories. Names. Faces. Firefights. Moments burned into my soul. But I see it differently now. The real battle was never just out there.
