Comments:

Besides discovering some powerful secrets to happiness (feeling good most of the time) ...

... I have learned Latin dances, Salsa and Bachata ... I love the music and the fun of dancing and watching others dance to it.

Worked in insurance industry from 1980-2013, with brief time in education with Challenger School 2002-2004.

What did you always want to do that you haven’t done yet?

I've always wanted to have conversations with people that help bring a deeper sense of peace; something I like to call peaceful playfulness.

Aiding anyone to 'see through' the illusion of being a separate self.

And to realize that feeling afraid can be overcome; that needing to be watchfully protective is not what life is about.

Seeing that we've been conditioned to think that we must focus on fear and safety as crucially important to our daily functioning. And that labeling, evaluating, and measuring everything we encounter is a habit that can be replaced.

I've always wanted to help myself and others realize more fully the pure awareness that unites us all. Bringing this to the forefront of our daily outlooks, while at the same time allowing the dominance of object-based attention to recede into the background.

This includes clarity that words, concepts, and thoughts are only tools, and if we expect more than they can provide we limit ourselves from experiencing the vastness of the possibilities and potentials that life offers in every moment.

To meet these 'always wanted to do' wishes, I have begun to offer Awareness Gratitude sessions. It feels good to start doing what I've always wanted to do.

Don't we all ultimately want to approach the world with a sense of peace and happiness? I know I do.

I found a quote that describes what I've always wanted to do and what I am doing: “God calls you to the place where your deep gladness and the world’s deep hunger meet.” [Frederick Buechner]

-------------------------------------------------------------

Also, I've always want to travel to places I've never seen; and I'd like to spend time playing musical instruments.

Grand kids?

Warm greetings to you Clark! I've thought of you many times since seeing you at your house after that last reunion. If you come to Salt Lake at times, it would be a joy to meet and catch up. And if we don't catch up beforehand, I'm thinking we'll see each other at the next Skyline reunion. Wishing you peaceful playfulness always.

I'm doing a 2-hour workshop Friday August 16th 6-8pm for a cost of $35. It refers to the experience of looking into a baby's eyes to point toward an expanded sense of knowing the world. If you're curious, I hope you can make it :o). It's at Synchronicities in Sandy Utah ... 9419 S. Union Square just off 700 East. I wish you peaceful playfulness! Steve
P.S. Handout and free copy of book "A Whole of The Whole" is included. To register, call me (and leave voice message) at 801-558-0487 or Venmo $35 @Steve-Patrick-Utah

If you'd like to feel the friendliness of a neighborhood bookstore, come to Marissa's Books and Gifts between 1pm and 4pm this Saturday Feb 23rd, and get a copy of A Whole of The Whole for $10 or for free :). Either option brings me delight. Enjoy the day whatever you do!

I recently printed/published a book about reducing tension & stress by taking words less seriously and by sensing the noncognitive sources of life. If you're like me and often feel trapped by your own thoughts, don't hesitate to ask me for a copy. I'll have about a hundred copies in my car to give away.

This book has brought ease and gratitude to so many moments of living everyday. Are you curious about how words distort reality more than represent it? I’ll deliver a book as a gift, or for $10 if you prefer, anywhere in the greater Salt Lake area. Book is also available as preorder on Amazon for $12.95 Prime eligible. August 14th is release date for preorder.
