These days Brother Anthony is in Oz going about from place to place giving lectures to people who like to attend lectures about things they already […]

June 25, 2010
Thank goodness, even climate change has an odd spot. Without the blues to soothe me, reading and writing about this topic has the potential to making me over into Mr. Frowny Face, 😦 who—despite what some may assume—is not me.

June 18, 2010
O sinner man, where you gonna run to – all on that day – Old spiritual. I grew up beside a bountiful sea. I grew up next to waters where, if you dipped in a gill net, the question was not whether you caught your supper, but what your supper would be: dog, humpback, steelhead, […]
