More about me

The past is gone, the future is not yet here, there is only this present moment, now!  My script, which says that I was born in NYC, that my parents were both immigrants  (my father from Japan, my mother from Switzerland),  that I was raised in Stamford, CT,  served 24 years in the Air Force, was married and have 5 children, have a B.B.A from the University of Texas, worked as a real estate broker, etc., is just an obstacle to learning who I truly am and what my journey is really about. You may perceive that I am a human being having a spiritual experience; but the truth of the matter is that I am a spiritual being having a human experience. Paraphrasing A Course in Miracles, "(I ) am at home in God, dreaming of exile but perfectly capable of awakening to reality. . . The journey to God is merely the reawakening of the knowledge of where (I am) always and what (I am) forever. It is a journey without distance to a goal that has never changed." I cordially invite you to join me on this journey.
