For twenty-three years now I have lived a life devoted to trying to do enough. Examples are helping out friends, avoiding excess consumerism, intensive composting, supporting local businesses, buying second hand clothing, recycling, biking…the list could go on and on.

Completion and Creation
Use this guided process to make a powerful ending of your year to set up 2012. Each December, Seven Stones offers a process to the community to complete the year: using the principals and practices of exquisite sufficiency such as telling the truth about what happened and didn’t happen, successes and let-downs, any associations that are called to be celebrated or mourned, and distinguishing actions to be taken. In addition to annually, this process can be used monthly, weekly and even daily!

i walked a mile in the rain today. it wasn’t so bad, as they say: when i was a kid those miles of snow sure made walking slow. and if it weren’t for my pride i’d pave prozac to the road – ride high not low. but, is it better now – our load, less?Read the Rest…
Exhaustion
April 12th, 2010 - No Comments
I was meditating in a workshop lead by Ethan Nichtern this weekend. He did a short five-minute meditation before we began talking about how changing our minds can change the world. The conversation was wonderful and I got many great ideas: pick up garbage, stop using plastic bags, start each week with a blank slate.Read the Rest…

People Move Me
March 31st, 2010 - No Comments
Back in my school essay writing days, I wrote a piece called “People Move Me”. It ended up being something I used to get into some school or program that I may or may not have actually attended, but my mom loved it so much, she showed it around to our large family. One ofRead the Rest…

Take Pause: What is enough?
March 24th, 2010 - No Comments
How do we know we are, have and do enough? We start in this moment. We find out feet, our back, our hands, our seat. We locate ourselves in space, tracing out the lines of our skin. We receive what we are, right now. We inhale. We start with the physical being. We exhale. WeRead the Rest…
