David Bowie felt like a friend. We recognized ourselves in his fearless flamboyance. His expressions reflected the vastness of our interior lives. This made him dear to us, as he honored the weirdness and isolation we all feel. He wrote brilliant songs about us, and for us. Songs that are gifts from our friend - a hot tramp hero with a snow white … [Read more...]
There is No Limit to What Angels Can Do
There are no slacker angels. There is no Archangel Chet, who would rather eat nachos while playing video games than respond to our requests for help. Angels are angels, not human. It is their job and their joy to support us. When we free ourselves from any beliefs of what they can or can't do, we become even more receptive to the their help. The … [Read more...]

We were all in tears from laughing. His genius was astounding. At the end of the program, he came down to the front row, where I was, to greet us. He was very humble as he did … [Read more...]
