In this day, as I age, getting about is more difficult, yet  I have found a place that retains the energy it used to have.  It is my mind, a dreadful thing to waste.  Just imagine how much I have learned in 76 years and even more how much I have to share with others. [...]

Yesterday was the hottest day since I  moved to Ojai.   Fortunately for me, I don’t move fast, nor do I have a lot to do.  It is the first day I used the airconditioner for any length of time. 
At 76 I am learning to do what needs to be done, make a list for what [...]

I turn 76 in a couple of days and I have discovered a gift for  myself. It is  The Easy Listening, station on the television.   I turned it on last night while waiting for the Tony Awards and was sort of blown away, or back to when I first heard those songs. I could almost [...]

Hi, I haven’t written anything for a long time. My energy was used up by changes in my life. Really good changes but they do take a lot of my energy and I haven’t a lot to spare.   I am hoping that changes, but will deal if it doesn’t.
When I realized I had to take [...]

After four surgeries on the retina of  my right eye, I have come to the conclusion, I may never really see out of it again.  I do have one good eye left. But the loss of one is confusing and tiring and takes away confidence.  I see blurs, sort of ink blot like images. There [...]

Finally, after nearly thirty years, the truth has surfaced about what happened the night Natalie Wood died.   I wrote a review of Goodbye Natalie, Goodbye Splendour,  for Amazon,  after I read it, and there has been an amazing response.  I love that.  A couple of people are hateful and call me names but that is [...]

What does witnessing mean?  Why is it important?  I am not sure, but I am called to do it at times.
Somehow I feel my attention may make a small difference and connect to some and alert some others.
It would be easy to turn off the television, send in a donation and not put myself through [...]

For two hundred years Haitians have suffered, yet endured.  In this beautiful country, life for the poor has been
hellish.   This earthquake seems to have been the worst tragedy of all.  So many people dead, injured, and homeless.
First of all we must pray for the rush of the supplies to get to the people.  It is [...]

Last year went by so quickly.  Lots of heavy important things happened in my life and fortunately I think I was able to handle most everything very well.  I have to give the credit to Adi Da Samraj, my Spiritual Teacher, who has always told us to turn to Him.  I did all year long [...]

Reading my biography might sound strange to some, but I have forgotten so much about my life.  Maybe I have chosen to remember the best parts, but in my  mind they were all pretty good. Of course some were painful, but those were lessons learned.  Now at seventy five, I wonder how I could have [...]

It is raining today and I love it.  Maybe wash off some of the soot and dust that clings to trees and houses and sidewalks around here.  It also brings the positive ions.  It also makes me so lazy.  I feel as if I have to stay inside. The truth is it is actually warm [...]

All morning I have been listening to people talking about how to solve the problem of violence toward children in Chicago.We are a nation addicted to violence.  It is crazy.  I have felt safer in so many other countries on this earth.  How can we change this? Violence is self medication for anger and hurt.  [...]

Fifteen minutes is about the most I get with my new doctor. He is an internist.  Nice, pleasant, and in a hurry.
Let’s do this test and that.   Here is what it says and here is what we will do about what it says.  Take this pill,
it might prevent diabetes.  Your count is borderline.  We usually [...]
