Conversations with Spirit (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Greetings, friends.This week I want to share something I have not often talked about in this space: I want to talk about my longtime, ongoing spiritual practice, which is informed by many different traditions, but is mostly a personal, intimate, emergent relationship that I have with the world around me, both physical and metaphysical—not that there is truly any distinction to be made there.From my childhood relationship with the wood nymph Estrella—which I wrote about in my memoir and spoke abo

I grew up in Manhattan watching the Twin Towers being built.
