One of the highlights of my 4-month trip to Thailand has been the 4 amazing days Jan and I spent with the Venerable Moo Moo Sunim and his 2 disciples from South Korea. The lessons I learned from him on Buddhism, life and enlightenment were too precious for me not to...

We started our visit to Chiang Rai in bad spirits. I had broken my glasses and Jan had an episode with a wild dog that had left her unnerved. After a long morning trying to find an optical shop that could fix my glasses, and a visit to the hospital for a doctor...

It's been a surreal week as Jan and I met with the Venerable Mu Mu Sunim and his disciples from South Korea. We met by chance, one year ago (https://thewingmanspath.com/truth-from-zen-master-moo-moo-sunim/) and stayed in touch via email. I'm still trying to process...

It is 510 steps up the mountain to Wat Tham Pha Plang, a Thai Buddhist temple built into the Chiang Dao Mountain. We were staying about 500 yards away in a bamboo hut that was surrounded by jungle.  We had planned on staying only 1 day but it was so beautiful we...

I'm flying solo on the Talk-n-Angels radio show tonight as Rita is taking the night off. I'll be discussing what I'm learning about Buddhism, how it's impacted my wingman philosophy, and how it can help all of us in the Western world. Listen in, or even better, call...

A belated happy Valentine's Day and a sweet memory from Janet. After four days of being on the road in northern Thailand, hiking through mountain villages and taking mini bus rides with 800 sickening, gorgeous hairpin curves, we arrived back in Chiang Mai, exhausted...

The Monk’s Trail... my wife had read about it on Pinterest. A concealed trek through the forest to Wat Pha Lat, a temple rarely visited by tourists. Perhaps that’s because it’s halfway up the road to it’s much more famous sibling, Wat Doi Suthep, the most well known,...

Thanks for all the return emails from my Sawadee Kap post (https://thewingmanspath.com/sawadee-kap-from-thailand/).  I so appreciate the comments and well wishes about how things are working out for Jan and me. They are, and we're both very grateful. My hope now, is...

Hope all is going well and you've been seeing swans since my last post. Our trip's been going very smoothly. We were in Bangkok for 5 days but I wanted a break from the big city, think New York on the hottest of summers, only hotter, more crowded, and more street food...

So I'm in Providence last week, taking my morning walk along the Seekonk River. It's crazy foggy outside, I can barely see. It's also a bit muddled inside my own head as my personal demons are having a bit of fun with me. They're throwing doubt, questions and other...
