Fresh Bread Today

It’s fun. And tasty.

Today I experimented with a bit of Italian Seasoning mixed into the dough.

My bread recipe is here. Give it a go.

I’m also remembering this poem today, from Most Mornings. Because, the inner quiet feels more needed that ever.

For me. Perhaps for you too.

And because I wrote about it previously when I was writing about bread.

Enjoy.

In Clarity

I wish
departure
most mornings.

From all the imposed noise
that distorts my inner.

I wish
to remain
most mornings.

In clarity
of freed heart.

A Circle Workshop For You, Us

I’m glad to offer this workshop. It’s two Thursdays in June. Because I like getting to the heart of it. To bring practice to the every day. Because Circle habit (the formal and the informal kind) restores connection and wisdom when so many other patterns force competition and animosity.

All the details are here.

Jump in. Register. I’ll be glad to meet you there.

Shades of Life on H2H

I took this recent recording from Jerry, Kathy, Janet and I — adding it as Human to Human content here.

There’s a lot that I love in this conversation. The friendship. The playfulness. The seriousness. Regular humans sorting a bit of life and a bit of the chaos and hope dance. Kathy, Jerry and I have been recording monthly conversations for over a year. Janet has joined the last several. Our conversation touched some of what I invite in The Human To Human Podcast. So, reposting it here, without the H2H framing, but with the same desire for insight and intuition. Enjoy your listen, 53 minutes.

A Question of Personal Leadership

This is harvest from Toke. An AoH in Denmark, co-hosted with Rowan, Mary-Alice, and others.

I just like the question:

“In light of the current turbulence, what is personal leadership to me?”

I imagine it to have been a great Cafe!

Grateful for the body of practitioners in this field and how we share / cultivate.

Gifts of Circle - Question Cardsasd
Gifts of Circle is 30 short essays divided into 4 sections: 1) Circle's Bigger Purpose, 2) Circle's Practice, 3) Circle's First Requirements, and 4) Circle's Possibility for Men. From the Introduction: "Circle is what I turn to in the most comprehensive stories I know -- the stories of human beings trying to be kind and aware together, trying to make a difference in varied causes for which we need to go well together. Circle is also what I turn to in the most immediate needs that live right in front of me and in front of most of us -- sharing dreams and difficulties, exploring conflicts and coherences. Circle is what I turn to. Circle is what turns us to each other."

Question Cards is an accompanying tool to Gifts of Circle. Each card (34) offers a quote from the corresponding chapter in the book, followed by sample questions to grow your Circle hosting skills and to create connection, courage, and compassionate action among groups you host in Circle.

In My Nature
is a collection of 10 poems. From A Note of Beginning: "This collection of poems arises from the many conversations I've been having about nature. Nature as guide. Nature as wild. Nature as organized. I remain a human being that so appreciates a curious nature in people. That so appreciates questions that pick fruit from inner being, that gather insights and intuitions to a basket, and then brings the to table to be enjoyed and shared over the next week."

Most Mornings is a collection of 37 poems. I loved writing them. From the introduction: "This collection of poems comes from some of my sense-making that so often happens in the morning, nurtured by overnight sleep. The poems sample practices. They sample learnings. They sample insights and discoveries. They sample dilemmas and concerns."
