What's New

Upon seeing the post about Amy's death, I was stunned. I felt a pang in the pit of my stomach and tears welled up in my eyes. I immediately chastised myself for not keeping in touch with her better. Procrastination really stings!

She was a quiet, still-waters-run-deep kind of person. Never one to brag about her accomplishments, an uniformed acquaintance might take her at her self-deprecating word, but that would be a mistake. A quality of hers - even more than her brilliance - was her great capacity to listen to others' feelings and ideas. She went into the right profession, even though she chuckled about it once with me, as though it were a minor achievement to find the right fit for a life's profession.

In high school, she was a role model, but she was so stellar that she was out of my league; I could only look up to her. For me, if Amy thought something was a good idea, I was all in. Form a women's baketball group and reserve courts at the U of U - ? Sure! We managed to get together to play games for a number of months. Few of us could even make baskets, but it was a different kind of activity for studious high school girls. We took advantage of it, too, as a good excuse afterward to go downtown to have lunch at Shakespeare's Sandwich Shoppe every once in a while.

I can't say I will miss her on a personal level, because I haven't been involved in her life for so many years. But I can assume that her physical absence in the universe will deeply affect many. These words would probably make Amy smile shyly, as if to shrug it off as no big deal, but no matter, because it is true. I can see her face  now, always beautiful, and beautifully understated.

Welcome and a belated happy birthday!

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

Happy birthday!

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 am grateful to this reader from Austin Texas for her kindness in emailing comments on the book: A Whole of The Whole. Wishing all of us peaceful playfulness.
