The Rhythm of Presence: Aligning Breath, Movement, and Thought
Presence is often spoken of as a state of stillness, but in truth, it is deeply dynamic. Presence has rhythm, much like music or nature itself. Our breath flows in cycles, our bodies move in patterns, and our thoughts arise and dissolve like waves. When breath, movement, and thought are aligned, life feels less fragmented and more whole. We are not pulled in multiple directions; instead, we inhabit a flow where awareness becomes the guiding thread.

The Mindful Evening: Closing the Day with Gentle Awareness
Evenings hold a quiet power. After the rush of the day, they present us with a natural threshold — a moment to step out of productivity and into rest. Yet, for many people, evenings are often filled with overstimulation: screens glowing late into the night, unfinished to-do lists circling the mind, or the restless urge to “squeeze in” just one more task. Mindful evening practices offer an antidote. By intentionally closing the day with awareness, we not only improve sleep but also nurture a deeper sense of calm, gratitude, and presence.

Beauty Beyond Dementia
I am a year into my life as an octogenarian. I have to look up that word every time I type it. I am in early stages of dementia. I seldom write books and articles these days. I write titles, and hope that if anyone is interested, they will ask about it. I have an entire library of "Titles." No one asks.

S-Day September 19
Over the past few months, I have struggled to focus on writing. After two trips to Europe in early summer, I finally wore out the remaining cartilage in my left knee. The meniscus had torn years earlier. The X-ray and MRI images showed that my ACL was destroyed. I had compensated by constantly tightening my thigh muscles, which added extra strain to the connecting ligaments. The left hip was replaced in 2016. That strain probably added to issues with the left knee.
