Another Glitch in the Newsletter Saga
Let’s start with this: I did not write A Mind Beyond Words to get rich. I’m nowhere near that stupid or naive. On the other hand, the amount I’m prepared and able to pay to promote it is not a bottomless pit.…
Of Yogis, Anchorites, Shamans and their like
Wisdom in Solitude? I’ve often mused that if, like some latter-day Carlos Castaneda, I claimed to have ventured deep into little-known lands — a rainforest or desert, perhaps, or three-quarters of the way up a mountain in Bhutan — to…
The Wide Web of Communication
