The Book According to Dennis
The weather was beautiful, the day we buried my dad. The sun shone over the rolling hills of eastern KY; I had seen it many times before, yet that day was unlike anything I had ever witnessed. My dad was in the air, I could feel his energy. The quick wit and authority made everything go just right.

Quarantined with Love
Every day I wake up, I light three white candles. I then spark some holy Tibetan incense, wrap myself in a traditional prayer shawl, grab my mala and ground down. I take a cleansing breath slowly shut my eyes and think. Thoughts rush to me like a moth to an autumn fire pit. I do my best to just sit in my present moment, and when I have trouble, I go back to something that I heard some years ago, “Love and compassion are necessities, not luxuries. Without them, humanity cannot survive.” When I first heard this I hadn’t the faintest clue who could have possibly said these wise words. Upon a mix of intense searching, and lazy intuitive reading at the bookstore I worked at, I read these words again, and cane to know who H.H. the 14th Dalai Lama was, what he stood for, and his mission for all beings in this life. It’s an understatement to say his thought process amazes me. My mind was overwhelmed by the simplicity of hiss rationale. I had found a sort of mentorship that helped me slow down, and pacify the innerworkings off my mind. Nevertheless, I still get caught up, unable to get passed myself. Mixed up in drama, stress, or something I needed to let go. In those moments, I think of him... laughing. This picture embodies his authenticity, an authentic nature that helps me to smile, breathe and not take it all too seriously.
