A SPIRITUAL MEMOIR
Book of the Maze
Life is a maze.
Every decision we make is a turn, toward something or away from it. Some paths open into light. Some lead to dead ends, and we have to turn around and find our way back. We walk it one step at a time, often in the dark.
I’ve come to believe that every one of us is walking the same maze toward the same center. We call it by different names: God, the Universal Mind, love, Oneness. We came from there, and through every wrong turn and every right one, we are finding our way back.
This book is my path through the maze. It is my spiritual journey. I hope it helps you with yours.

The Sunday Letter
Once a week, I share something I’ve been thinking about, learning, questioning, or trying to live more fully.
Sometimes it is about spirituality. Sometimes leadership, plant medicine, family, Yeshua, service, or simply something life has been teaching me that week.
No grand answers. Just a letter from one person on the path to another.
