I became committed to developing this site on my birthday 1999. Frequently on my birthday I will go into the desert to spend 24 hours in a single spot at a sacred place. In 1999 while being in my place something (was it god, nature, or my subconscious?) told me to give my little bit of knowledge to the world.

Just got back from a wonderful trip. I was traveling with two of my favorite traveling companions My girl friend and my dog. We explored the California coast - Big Sur and Monterey, then we headed over to see the giant redwoods in sequoia national park. This may have been one of the trips that sets the tone for my life theme next year. Only time will tell.

This morning while I was practicing Tai Chi Chuan, a humming bird few in front of me and investigated each of my fingers as though they were flowers. I could feel the wind from each of it's wing beets, I could even feel the air movement caused by it's beak near each finger, even though it never actually made physical contact. A simple yet moving experience.
