Tuesday, June 21, 2011. Seeing with a different eye. I was on the phone with my sweetie who lives away, chatting about this and that, and she said, “I got hit on today. He was a nice looking guy and when I said I was going away for the weekend he asked me to take him with me.”. 8220;Did you want to take him with you? 8220;I don’t know. He was kind of cute. But I said to him – and you’re not going to like this - I said to him, “Go ask your wife.”. 8220;And then guess what he said next,” she asked me.

Eric's Blog: February 2015
http://ericnagler.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html
Thursday, February 26, 2015. Last week I wrote a store owner at which I have some instruments on consignment, asking if he would consider taking a 20% commission instead of his usual 25%. Here is his response:. Unfortunately - I am unable to deviate from the 25% commission, as all instruments on consignment are subject to this rate - In the interest of fairness to other sellers we cannot make adjustments. I’ll never forget years ago when Washington DC mayor Marion Barry was asked why he lied to the...

Thursday, March 13, 2014. I DON'T NEED A HAI WORKSHOP. The first “Love is a Miracle” weekend workshop of the year is in one month: April 11-13, 2014. There will be one other, August 22-24. I don’t need a HAI workshop. Folks sometimes tell me, “A HAI workshop? Thanks but I don't need one.” I guess they see a HAI workshop as a means to curing them of a condition and they don’t need fixing. But fixing people is rarely HAI's job. Don’t I think I’m worth it? In fact exploring our thoughts. HAI looks at fear.

Saturday, July 18, 2015. Why, after 30 years of knowing each other, leaving our spouses, adventuring in HAI, sharing a songwriting career, excavating the tunnel of sex and desire together, discovering a cave of ancient soul where we huddle around the fire of passion in wonder, … why now after thirty years to decide to get married? The simple answer is we’ve done it all except the celebration, the party, so why not treat ourselves to one? Instead of arguing principles with me, David simply said, “I ...

Sunday, June 9, 2013. I am very grateful to all of you who wished me a happy birthday last week. It warms my heart to be recognized and honoured by so many. I want you to know I’m enjoying sex, love, intimacy and service at the age of 71. My choice is to prepare for death rather than deny it, so I can embrace it when it comes. Physically, what I’m made of was born in the stars, and to the stars my atoms will return. Nothing is lost except this fragile ego called ‘Eric’ whose job it ...So I have a birthda...

Tuesday, July 29, 2014. I heard Stan Dale once say, “There is either love or violence. And even violence is a cry for love.” I heard him say that, but what the heck does it mean? What was he talking about? You have to understand, this guy was my mentor, my guru. The things he did and said, the workshops he created, the experiences he fed me… they changed my life. I am content and calm in my old age because he showed me how. I cannot wrap my head around it. What is love? I don’t know the answer to t...

Eric's Blog: A night on Cocaine
http://ericnagler.blogspot.com/2014/04/a-night-on-cocaine.html
Wednesday, April 2, 2014. A night on Cocaine. A night on Cocaine. Every object is ritualized… the way the little square of paper is crisply folded into a pocket for the gram. The gram, so fine and delicate, a scant teaspoonful, but from the paper pocket dreams and desires float on this white powder into my brain through my nose. Every object is ritualized, infused with magic. Cocaine, the magic powder through which some take a spiritual journey, seeking the goddess, or messages from the elders. And when ...
