On a more personal note
The essence of my life is simple: In my early childhood I
had several powerful experiences or instincts that have remained with
me and inspired me. The first was a very powerful sense of the beauty
and wonder of life; just looking at the blue of the sky was enough to
make me experience and know that there was a power and goodness behind
everything.
The second was that I kept noticing that there was more to me than just
the child, the personality, I presented to the world. Within me there
was another identity— watchful, strong, loving.
The third was an instinctive outrage at and sense of compassion towards injustice and suffering.
My life has been about developing and integrating
those three influences. I teach what I too am learning and deepening.
For all my book writing, teaching and intellectual
pursuits, I love rough and tumbling with children, dogs and friendly
adults. I am happiest meditating, being in landscape and participating
in group situations where there is a creative, vital and educational
process. I also love movement and dance (all sorts), work out at the
gym regularly, and practice chi gung and yoga. I like watching movies
and am grateful for the stimulation, challenges and love of my family.
