Just back from an extended trip to the midwest, where I saw family, reconnected with old friends, and introduced some new readers to Fire Monks. You can listen to the Dharma talk I gave at Ancient Dragon Zen Gate in Chicago here. Thank you, Ancient Dragon!
HuffPost
Huffington Post just published a blog I wrote on decision-making. Read it here and pass it along to your beloved indecisive ones.
Pt. Reyes
Pt. Reyes Books owners Steve Costa and Kate Levinson with Fire Monks author Colleen Morton Busch and San Francisco Zen Center Central Abbot Steve Stucky at Pt. Reyes Community Presbyterian Church Aug 13th.
Thank you to Kate and Steve for hosting a great event. Read about Kate’s book, Emotional Currency, here.
Eventful August
July turned to August while I was in motion. Had a great event in Guerneville (thank you Susan Ryan of River Reader Bookstore!)–outside on a warm evening with redwood trees listening in.
The tour is winding down. I’ll be reading this week in Sonoma and Pt. Reyes, then early next week at the San Francisco Public Library. Possible September events are in the works for Lake Tahoe and Nevada City. Stay tuned.
