The Only One
I know I'm not the only one.
I tend to think of myself that way, though. As the only one. Because I live in a world where it is increasingly difficult to develop healthy, supportive human relationships.
Go ahead, count them. The healthy, supportive relationships in your life. The time you actually spend doing healthy, supportive things together.
Sometimes I think of myself as the only one who wants to play, the only one who wants to have fun and be loving and feel free. Because I'm alone alot. Not because I want to be alone, because I live in a world that isolates me and categorizes me, a world whose major entertainments are created for people who want to be alone, where people put doors on their office cubbies.
In fact, I'm probably so far gone after twenty minutes in an office that it would take an ordained intervention to make things fun again.
Which is why I invented DeepFUN Meditation. So I could have an ordained intervention. So I could take the time I need with the people I need. And have a concentrated dose of healthy, supportive fun. With people around me playing deeply, teaching me again that I'm not the only one.
I'll be teaching DeepFUN Meditation hither (my house in Redondo Beach) and yon (Esalen, Malibu, Santa Barbara and points beyond). For more info,
