Since the beginning of 2017, I have made “home” of at least a dozen international cities and had at least twice that many bedrooms or couches. A good portion of that time has been living from two suitcases. I've met a lot of people and forgotten a lot of names. I've made some lifelong friends. …
The B-Word
I don’t remember a time in my life that I didn’t feel a great sense of intensity. Maybe some people are just born with it or maybe it’s just a matter of perception where every decision is weighed with the gravity of the universe in its balance. I have been careless, yes, but even then …
Omega
Nearly three years ago I had a powerful experience that completely altered the direction of my life. In the practice of astral travel (something I had learned to do as a disassociation from my own troubling reality), I experienced something foreign to me and learned that it was the Holy Spirit of the Bible.

Fountains
I started 2018 with just three words - faith, communication and service.

Oceanside, Ca. // ‘I GO BY E.T.’ He yells over the music. ‘Extra terrestrial!” His ocean blue eyes twinkle. ‘But just tell them it means Extra Tender.” He does another burpee. This weekend, I had the incredible opportunity to lead a “fitness experience” on behalf of Reebok at the Supergirl Surf Pro in Oceanside, California …
57 Gravel

A tackle box and some larger Tupperware containers already sat open, overflowing onto the mobile workbench of well-worn gold paint. A few unique shapes caught my eye, …
Dreaming & Awakening
On May 15, 2017 shortly after 7pm I sat cross legged at the head end of my mattress staring eyes wide open into heaven from my studio apartment in San Diego. As if every element of the universe had been split in two along the lines of its own duality, it seemed that only the …
What If
Medford, Oregon // “What if we all broke open?” This is the question that Lu Crenshaw woke up with one morning last year and the question I found myself asking last week in a short visit to check out Camp 17. With a vision that is quickly outgrowing their community of Medford, Oregon, Lu and …
