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.
