El Ojo del Lago: “Problems of Abundance”
It was a week from hell. Leaving the house to walk the dog, I noticed a huge crack in one wall of my house that must’ve shown up overnight because I’d never seen it before. It ran across the wall outside of my office for about three feet. My eyes scanned the rest of the wall and, sure enough, there was another two-foot-long crack below the window.

El Ojo del Lago: “Death and Taxes”
We bumped into each other as I rushed through the door at iShop. She was on the other side waiting to leave.

Spiritual leader Ram Dass guided generations of people seeking happiness and satisfaction in life with his now legendary 1971 book, Be Here Now. He was writing Still Here: Aging, Changing and Dying when he suffered a paralyzing stroke.
