I played a challenging piece by Debussy that I love. Afterward, someone told me she saw a woman who was an accomplished pianist moving her hands and fingers along as I played. When most of the others left the room, she sat down at the piano to play Clair de Lune from memory.

My friend Ami and I performed for a very warm audience of residents at an assisted living and memory care facility last Friday. It was such a treat for us. My favorite part was hearing the audience sing along.

In the third conversation of Interfering Neurotic, Dr. Ash King and I discuss personalities who tend to attract more attention online.

“I am grateful for what I am and have.

My thanksgiving is perpetual.

It is surprising how contented one can be with nothing definite—only a sense of existence.”

~ Henry David Thoreau

“If you think you are enlightened; go home for Thanksgiving.”

~ Ram Dass

“Happiness is in the imagination. What we perform is always inferior to what we imagine.”

~ Cyril Connolly

Practicing mindfulness can be soothing, but it's just as likely to be boring or agitating.

It’s more like deciding to sometimes take the stairs instead of the elevator.

It's not about numbing discomfort. It's about forgoing short-term symptom relief to experience greater vitality overall.

Not knowing when the Dawn will come,
I open every Door,
Or has it Feathers, like a Bird,
Or Billows, like a Shore—

~ Emily Dickinson
