- SOLITARY CONFINEMENT IN THE DIGITAL AGE: Searching for Seaglass: A Morning Walk to Israel Cove
Have a joyful Sunday. Walk slowly. Appreciate.
17 min - SOLITARY CONFINEMENT IN THE DIGITAL AGE: Bandgi Nama
Sometimes we experience so much joy that we forget we are still in great pain. When the intensity of the joy departs, the pain is still there. It surprises us. It bites us again.
When we are off the path of the superior person, even a tiny bit, we are more vulnerable to this pain, and we react to it poorly. The first thing to do is return to the path of the superior person. Be humble, shrink the ego, stretch, breathe, disengage from our pain.
One way to do so is through Simran. That is, the Sikh practice of reciting the Name of G-d to one's self over and over. This is one way, to humble ourselves enough to ensure that we are capable of shrinking our ego.
Love.
15 min - SOLITARY CONFINEMENT IN THE DIGITAL AGE: Rest in gentle peace O Walter, O Father of Canada
Walter Gretzky died on March 4, 2021. The image is the autography Walter Gretzky signed for my Mom when I met Walter in the Vancouver Park Hyatt lobby during the Vancouver 2010 Olympics.
I filmed this video in Vancouver 2010 seconds after Crosby scored. I believe this moment stemmed from the power of a Walter Gretzky hug:

28 min - SOLITARY CONFINEMENT IN THE DIGITAL AGE: Thursday, March 4, 2021
Apparently, there was no March 3. Is that a glitch in the matrix? This podcast has nothing to do the fact that there was no March, 3, 2021. That has nothing to do with me. New ideas. New time frame? New life.
23 min - SOLITARY CONFINEMENT IN THE DIGITAL AGE: The Bloom of the Blue Notebook
I found the image while looking for an image of the elusive Blue Notebook. It embarrasses me to admit that I did write this. I'm sharing it because it feels like something I would share on Instagram and it might be general enough to like it.
30 min - SOLITARY CONFINEMENT IN THE DIGITAL AGE: March 1st, 1st month begets 365 Tao reflections
Lunar eclipse, a liminal moment. Feel the light shining inside you. Continue the path, resolute like one crossing a wintry stream. Joyous of heart.
30 min - SOLITARY CONFINEMENT IN THE DIGITAL AGE: The full moon after the full moon. The interval is where the action is.
After the moon, reflect.
30 min - SOLITARY CONFINEMENT IN SOLITARY CONFINEMENT: Seagull balm, Saturday. And the moon is full.
Enjoy the full moon. May it reflect upon you reflecting upon your life.
32 min - SOLITARY CONFINEMENT IN THE DIGITAL AGE: What does it mean when a skylight flies away from your house?
For posterity's sake, here are the lyrics to my song to Castro:
O to run all night!
O to run all baby!
Castro baby, fifteen miles,
O you do not know...
(ch.. ch.. ch..)
O you do not know!
(ch..ch..ch..)
O you do not know!
Where's that baby?
I don't know.
O you do not know!
(ch..ch..ch..)
O to run all night!
O to run all baby!
How many babies do you know?
O you do not know
30 min - SOLITARY CONFINEMENT IN THE DIGITAL AGE: Prayer, Yoga, Tolstoy, Intention, Commitment, Gratitude, Belle, Sebastian, Sleep the Clock Around
Here is the great song Sleep the Clock around by Belle & Sebastian:

He thinks it's pretty easy. He would like to suggest that you change your notions of what 'retirement' is, then do it too.
