The Way

The Practice · The Road · The Walk · The Daily

The road out of the hypnosis and into clarity. Prayer, praise, the reading of the Word. Training, food, breath, the body as ground.

    Where You Point Your Life Force Shapes What You Become

    50. Halfway Through - On Rising From Your Own Wreckage

    50. Halfway through life. Maybe I have 50 years left. Maybe I have 5. None of us know. We move with our backs to our death, and no one knows the date of the exit. But I stand here like this. Happy. Not because I'm anything special. But because I chose to rise again. When I fell…
