What happens when science studies the sacred? A Johns Hopkins study of religious leaders and psilocybin opens the door to deeper questions about consciousness, spirituality, Meditation, and the nature of the Mind.

An 8.8 magnitude earthquake off the coast of Russia.
Tsunami swells blooming across the Pacific—toward Japan, Alaska, Hawaii, even touching the West Coast of the U.S.

I never thought I would make it to age 64. Here I am now one step closer to 65. When I awoke on October 27, 2023 I was inspired to write this in gratitude for this lifetime.
