TRANSFORMATON 

My life is committed to transformation. It’s was originally motivated due to the emptiness of my childhood. The benefit of spending so much time alone as a child created an awareness and hunger to understand life most would never know nor chose. The emptiness seemed to follow me until I began working on my Master’s Degree at age 35.  It was during this time that I received a pointed message from my professor (Note: see Morgan Yamanaka MSW) His simple truth became a guiding force for all I do in my life and most especially in my private practice. In the quiet of writing this I just had that realization reinforced. Once again I find gratitude for my ability to be present and thus be able to hear an echo from the past.  I appreciate him for his kick in the ass. When a man speaks his truth (especially an elder man) from the heart it can be a strong catalyst for transformation. I offer my truths throughout as a desire to inspire your transformative process.

I will describe much of the pain and the gifts as you read the book. I find that much wisdom comes to me in the quiet of my or our walks. Sometimes I will comment to myself “why didn’t I think of that before”. An awareness that only came to me due to the quiet. That is why I hope you take time to be still as you walk the trail with us. Silicon Valley where I live seems to have no tolerance for quiet. May you read our book in the quiet and allow the possibilities of sudden awareness speak to you
