Unlocking the Secrets of the Universe

Leave a Comment / Blog, The Elegant Universe / By /

So few of us are taught that there are fundamental laws that govern our Universe.  I have written about this in the past and even wrote a book about the 12 Universal Laws (available on Amazon), so for me, I happen to think that these might be the most important lessons we could ever learn—far more important than what is taught in high school or college.  I believe fully that if people understood these laws more intimately, they would overcome major self-created challenges that hinder their success and happiness. It is important to understand, no matter how much you may […]

Second Chapter

Listen on Spotify! Second chapters are often interesting and far different from our first chapter.  The first time I walked onstage to perform standup comedy was May 6, 1989.  I was terrified and incidentally, I was also terrible in my first outing.  Regardless, I was hooked and continued to perform as many times as I could at the local open mic night.  I would love to say success came quickly—it didn’t.  It took a long time being very bad before I got “kinda” good.  After working diligently and never giving up, I was asked to become the house MC at

Prana Del Mar in Los Cabos, Mexico is a divine little yoga retreat tucked away on the Sea of Cortez.  Upon our arrival in Los Cabos, I didn’t really have any expectations for what was ahead.  Adi asked me if I would attend a Yoga Nidra Certification class with her to enhance her credentials and I figured there could be far worse things to do a few weeks prior to my birthday than go to the beach so I heartily agreed to go. Here David narrate this blog on Spotify! After a short ride from the airport we arrived on

“Remaining steady and constant, a lighthouse never moves for a ship; instead, it shines its eternal light, waiting for the ship in distress to arrive.” A lighthouse is a tower, building, or another type of structure designed to emit light from a system of lamps and lenses and to serve as a navigational aid for maritime pilots at sea or on inland waterways.  Metaphorically speaking, a lighthouse is a person, who by remaining steady and constant, has the ability to guide others during otherwise turbulent times.  While much of the world is in turmoil, the human lighthouse provides the stability to weather

Chess A Game of Kings

Chess: A Game of Kings

Leave a Comment / Blog, Memoirs of a Renaissance Man / By /

Chess is called, “The Game of Kings.”  Many attribute this to the fact that the game was played by royalty and nobility throughout history, while some take the more simplistic viewpoint that because the central theme of the game revolves around the “king piece,” it is therefore referred to as “The Game of Kings.”  I believe because the game itself is regal, it can only be referred to as, “The Game of Kings.”  Chess is a metaphor for life. Hear David narrate this blog on Spotify! I have played chess for more than 25 years (not particularly well have you)
