Sometimes I hear a voice in my head grumble, “Why bother blogging?” If there’s already so many thoughtful blogs out there, what difference could my voice possibly make? Anyway, it seems I’ve set a high standard for myself; if I don’t think I have a real wowzer to share with you, why say anything? But
I was recently the Minister at a Gay Wedding Ceremony between two beautiful men in California. Facilitating this public witnessing of Love’s complete lack of prejudice is one of the most deeply satisfying highlights of my already adventurous life. I’m a deeply heterosexual man … and I know this with certainty because I spent a
Ohhh, this life is so gloriously fleeting … please enjoy deeply whatever moment you find yourself in. No matter how crazy things seem; it will all be over so quickly.

I just attended my 3rd Burning Man Festival, that unfathomably imaginative celebration of human expression and creativity that takes place on the vast, flat surface of a parched northern Nevada desert lakebed every August. Burning Man always gives me just the medicine I need. And sometimes it’s pretty damn bitter. This year, I deepened in

I did it. “What did you do?” you ask. Why, I completed a 30-day woman fast, of course. Where’ve you been? “Yeah .. seriously .. what in Eve’s name does that even mean?” you respond, completely perplexed. Ahhhh … a fair and cleverly articulated question. As I’ve assured you before – and perhaps this lady doth
I went dancing a few days ago and quickly found myself surrounded by painfully hot hot hot ladies dressed in … let’s say, enterprising ways … specifically designed to arrest my attention like it was a fugitive from the law. Then today, I ate lunch with 3 beautiful, amazing women. Did I mention I’m on a
What deeper truth(s) are you denying? What is that likely costing you? So many of us haven’t been confessing our socially-awkward truths for a long time, around a lot of things, but especially around sexuality. Not to the people around us, and often not even to ourselves. We’re persistently denying deeply-stirring desires, hiding fears and
Caution: This post contains some graphic content and passionate language. I’m on a complete “woman fast”. I’m rather aroused … but you’re still safe with me. Promise … especially if you made it through Fifty Shades of Grey. I’m now 16 days into my 30-day woman fast (as the original blog explains, it’s not just about sex.
