This is my story. What’s yours? Buddhism gives a unique perspective on relating to a broken heart. Of course, there are broken hearts and then there are broken hearts. No matter how much losing other relationships may have made you cry, there are some endings that transcend everything you’ve ever known about pain. If you’ve had such a heartbreak, you... READ MORE

home from meditation retreat

There is no way to describe the magic that happens when 100 or so people work at studying their own minds from 7am to 9pm. Our retreat was a combination of practice and study. We heard amazing, incredible, generous, inspiring talks from our teacher, Sakyong Mipham Rinpoche. The students were in love with the teacher and it seemed mutual. During... READ MORE

up the mountain

Getting ready to leave Boulder and drive several hours north to Shambhala Mountain Center. Will be on meditation retreat until Aug 2. I wish it was longer. Very much so. I have enough clothes and snacks to last several months, that’s for sure. It feels like such a departure from everything ordinary that I try to soothe myself with outfit... READ MORE

GTD is an amazing system for multi-leveled personal organization. There are three things I love about it: It’s enormously intelligent It shamelessly satisfies the inner geek It produces spiritual benefits It’s this last one that is so interesting. The system brings a sense of order, pleasure, and quietude– the intelligence that famously comes forth from disciplined use of GTD. This... READ MORE

Wrote this for The Worst Horse, a great, excellent site where dharma meets pop and vice versa: Skillfully Savvy: Susan Piver’s 8 Points for Selling the Dharma Without Selling It Out We who work in the world of spirituality (or want to bring spirituality into the world of work) often think that if you focus too much on the quality...

compromise, shmompromise

June 22, 2007   |   3 Comments

“Relationships take compromise.” Is there any piece of relationship advice more ubiquitous than this? Personally, the first time I heard it, I hoped it wasn’t true. It sounded like a grim reality, one where I’d have to sacrifice what I wanted and find some way to do what the other person wanted even though it was stupid. And plus I’d... READ MORE
