“There was something that He hid from all men when He went up a mountain to pray… There was something that He covered constantly by abrupt silence or impetuous isolation… There was some one thing that was too great for God to show us when He walked upon our earth, and I have sometimes fancied […]

On the campus of Wizard Academy, we travel upward to study and celebrate, downward to find meaning and rest.  According to Carl Jung’s theory of depth psychology7, life is a journey on water.  Water: that transparent portal separating the objective reality of the conscious mind from the subjective reality of the unconscious mind.

“It was a bird-chirpy morning in early May. Sunshine elbowed through the stained-glass windows of the Capt. Kendrick Memorial Hot Dog Wildlife Preserve. Sweet smells rose stiffly from the fields outside and unfurled above the cafe like banners. Random notes of cheerfulness sailed through the air like paper airplanes. One landed in the steam pot […]

And then the painters chime in singing, “Oils,” “Pencils,” “Charcoal,” and “Acrylic” in 4-part harmony. “Film” shouts a cinematographer,“Pixels” shouts another,and the photographers beat a steady rhythm on the lens covers of […]

I just stumbled on the coolest mural in Downtown Tulsa. It’s a huge portrait of hometown boy, Leon Russell. I don’t know if I ever told you this story or not, but Larry Hall, the producer and musical director of my Christmas album, worked with Leon on his last album. He wrote and produced all […]
