As we move into the Spring Equinox, both Mercury and Venus are ahead of the sun, so they precede the Sun into Aries this week. It’s a busy week. Besides Mercury and Venus moving into Aries on Tuesday (3/6), on Thursday (3/8) Jupiter starts its retrograde period and Mercury simultaneously moves into its pre-retrograde shadow […]
After various adventures, in October I landed in the middle of a Gypsy Wedding at the Texas Music Ranch. It was great to see my friend Oliver Rajamani again and to meet Zhenya Rock. A lot of sitting around campfires, drinking vodka, and singing in Russian was required. Maybe that was why most of the […]
Spent the summer at Rigdzin Ling. It was a great summer and I got some great photos.
In May, I headed back to Taos for the Rising Appalachia show. I only took a few pictures and most of them were terrible. Included here are the few that made the cut. I stayed at the Ashram doing seva through mid-July.
I spent mid-January to mid-April in retreat at a private location in Puna. After finishing the retreat, I had about a month to enjoy myself. Basically, it was all Kehena Beach and Seaview rainbows. Here is what most likely constitutes too many pictures of rainbows.

After the retreat and various adventures on the West Coast, I sold the Airstream Argosy and flew to the Big Island with Kunzang Llamo. These photos start with Hilo and end with Christmas Day at Punulu’u in Ka’u. I have a lot of stories about Punulu’u. Ask me sometime.
After Bhandara, my friend returned to Montreal and I found myself at loose ends. A plan was conceived to take a road trip in my 1976 Airstream Argosy 28 to California. But our first stop was the Tribal Vision festival, where we met Avocado. Our departure photo shows Avocado, myself, Tasha, Kunzang, and Roya ready […]
Circumstances arose which required me to get to Colorado Springs pronto, to pick up a friend who’d decided to visit from Montreal. Once I’d picked her up we headed back to Taos for Maharaj-ji’s Mahasamadhi Bhandara. The last photo is of me with friends Kunzang Llamo and Hanuman Das at Bhandara.
I’m a Tibetan Buddhist and my root guru is Chagdud Tulku Rinpoche, who I met in the ’90s. Twice he invited me to come live at his retreat center in California. Instead I moved to Austin, got married, and raised a daughter. While at Mount Shasta I suddenly got the urge to finally go visit […]
