The Soul’s Twins: A Video Interview
Last week Susan Scott, an author friend from South Africa, interviewed me about The Soul’s Twins. Most of you know Susan. She comments here often. She recorded our talk on video and posted it on her blog this week, so I’m re-posting it here for you to see. The video versions on her post below are small, […]
Are You Ready to Meet Your Soul’s Twins?
Okay. There’s so much to tell you that I hardly know where to begin. Do you remember me ever writing “I don’t think I have it in me to write another book?” after Healing the Sacred Divide was published in 2013? I don’t remember if I actually wrote it in a post, but I certainly […]
Do We Need Schools for Forty-Year-Olds?
“I write because… well, the best I can say for it is it’s a psychological quirk of mine developed in response to whatever personal failings I have.” ~Zadie Smith, Intimations When I discovered Jungian psychology in my forties, I knew I’d found a guide to self-understanding.

A Beautiful Obsession
The intuitive’s morality is governed neither by thinking nor by feeling; he has his own characteristic morality, which consists in a loyalty to his vision and in voluntary submission to its authority. ~Carl Jung, CW 6, para. 613 Every day was Labor Day this summer. Mental labor. Emotional labor. A labor of love. Labor nonetheless. […]
Musings From My Cave
The book is coming along—slowly, often joyfully, sometimes painfully. This is hard work, yet it really is the only kind of work I’m good for.
