What If? Vulnerability, Trust & Making Things That Last
When you make something that’s built to last, in a culture that values immediacy, neoteny, moving fast and breaking things, the what-ifs have a field day. Yet what-ifs aren’t always trolls — they can be angels too.
What if you listened to the deeper pulse of your soul? What if you chose luscious nourishment over the mouth-feel of fast food? What if you built your business to create and offer that which will live and serve life beyond you?

Announcing the Deva Alchemy Certification Program
These past few weeks, I’ve been re-reading Etty Hillesum’s journal and letters, written when she was at Westerbork Transit Camp, and later at Auschwitz, where she died in 1943. She was just 29 years old. Her journals are extraordinary. They reveal a thoughtful, deeply...

The Art of Homecoming
Art is made by choosing a set of constraints, using them to create a boundary, and then building a world inside it. With words or paint, metal or wood, musical instrument or food -- whatever your art, it is a collaboration between you, the medium you work with, the...
Desire, Trust, & The Game of Life
You can view any creation through a variety of lenses. For today, consider the unfolding pattern of your life through the lens of a game. Every game has rules that define it, that articulate the boundaries and limits within which the game is played, and the rules of...
The Power of Inner Structure
When external structures fall apart, internal structure becomes essential for your integrity and well being. Structure ≠ rigidity. Structures can be tensile, like bone. They can be flexible and pliable, like skin. They give shape and form to your day. They hold you in...
