The Bagel Nazi

There are certain class distinctions living on Galveston Island, almost like a caste system.  People who call Galveston home are broken up into two specific groups that are identified through two acronyms—BOI or IBC.  Neither Adi nor I knew this until we began mentioning to people that we lived on the island.  Whenever me mentioned […]

The Language of Dreams

“Merge into the One.”  I heard a voice whisper ever so gently to me as I was half-asleep yet half-awake.  It’s that sweet spot of sleep where our defenses our down just enough to receive divinely inspired message while being just conscious enough to remember them.  Most times, dreams deliver us messages while we deeply […]

I Wish It Would Rain Down

Adventures have setbacks.  This is the essence of what makes them adventures.  Adi and I decided that we would rent a 4 X 8 U-Haul trailer to carry only our “essentials” to Galveston.  We are downsizing, we both agreed, and we want to become light and nimble in order to be able to get up […]

Goodbye

Very rarely in life do we have such identifiable closings of chapters in our lives.  Most sneak up on us and oftentimes we might not even know a chapter has closed until long after it has concluded.  We try desperately to hang on to what once was however when we do finally realize something has ended […]

Writer’s Town

“Galveston is a writer’s town.”  I remember telling Adi this the first time we visited the island together.  Our first time to Galveston was incidentally my first time to visit the city.  Adi had lived a lifetime in Galveston; her family owns two homes on the island, and they celebrated holidays and summers there where […]

The Magic of 108

After a long day of shooting Yes, And Yoga, Adi and I awoke the following morning and her adventurous side started shining through.  “How about we take a trip for your birthday?” she said as the sun had barely crested over the horizon.  I was turning 51 on July 4th and Adi, ever the travel […]

It’s a Wrap!

Remarkable things can occur when we have a daily spiritual practice and then surrender to the Divine to watch the magic unfold.  Spring of 2020 has been unusually transformative in ways that all of us can probably agree have been like nothing we have ever seen before.  This once in lifetime generational shift has almost […]

The Big Move

The Adventures of Adi and David   So many changes are on the horizon.  My comedy show, Four Day Weekend, is dark due to Covid 19.  In theater terms, this means closed.  The very thing that has taken up the majority of my attention for the last 23 years has unceremoniously come to an end […]

The Veil of Maya

God established Earth as a place for human beings to purse spiritual advancement.  Can we, as mankind, remember that we are One with God?  Can we shed the veil of illusion long enough to remember that we agreed to come here to challenge our consciousness to recognize that we chose this at the level of […]
