About Me
This little blue ribbon thingie is for being named BeliefNet's first Member of the Month, which is kind of fun.Hello BeliefNeters,
I am here to give and receive insights and half-cooked ideas about the meeting place of spirituality and psychology. I enjoy the writings of Carl Jung, Robert Johnson, Robert Bly (just finished his excellent short book, "A Little Book on the Human Shadow"), Joseph Campbell; and Marianne Williamson, Neale Donald Walsch, Charles and Myrtle Filmore, H. Emily Cady and others.
I am a hospice Chaplain, and would be glad to converse with others from the hospice field. Encouraging self-care and assisting those facing "compassion fatigue" among professional caregivers is also a strong interest of mine.
But I can't be all serious. I like comedy, and used to perform professionally in clubs in the 90's. I worked with Dave Attel, Doug Stanhope, Steve Marmel, and other "dark poets" of the genre, though my material was much lighter in tone. (But not as funny.)
I like to sing and play drums and a little guitar. Check out the children's song I wrote and recorded with my friend Jim Paine on his Mac, below under "Audio". He played guitars, and I did percussion and singing. Uploaded on June 19, 2008.
My Basics
Gender: Male
Occupation: Hospice Chaplain
Relationship Status: Married
Faiths:
New Thought,
Faith Description: Unity Church of Christianity, Jesus Christ, Myself, Power of Love, Heaven, God, Prayer, Community, Service

Thank you for Being Here - August 25, 2008 - 09:35 PM
I recently joined Beliefnet.com and have been beautifully surprised about how much I have learned and read. I am a care giver for my 90 year old mother. Having read your profile, you certainly are a TRUE Progressive Christian. I classify myself as that myself. I respect your "likes" and beliefs. You are an inspiration to me. Thank you, John. :)
