"I write daily in the early dawn on the current short story emerging into life from my neural networks shaped from the people I love, the pilgrimages I have made, and the understandings I have gleaned from life. I also comment and post daily about compelling and practical quotations from spiritual masters and scientific authorities. Each post supports and enhances  a reader's understanding of reality, the moment, mind, death, and life. My books, my blog, and my LinkedIn posts--Chew On This-- are the warm-hearted, open-handed harvest of my life as a human being, a monk, a teacher, a writer, a baker, a husband, and a father. Study, meditation, and service to others.
