Publisher's Synopsis
Over the last thirteen years I've written about the broad theme of the art of living. My articles appear here in the chronological order in which they were published in Northern Journeys, an arts and technology journal published in the Northwest United States. They are offered as sparks that can be used to inspire a flame of inspiration. Throughout these articles I have I quoted many teachings that have offered me a ray of light during those occasional dark nights of fear and panic. I am grateful for many teachers who have inspired me to learn about yoga, meditation, psychotherapy, and the healing power of the arts. In some ways these articles are a form of my narrative therapy, motivated by my desire to heal and promote the well being of others.
