“From the hundreds of times I lost the connection, I learn this: Your fragrance brings me back.” – Rumi

The Three Steps method grew out of a talk I gave at Zen Center of Los Angeles in 2002, when the idea arose that we could break our journey to the Absolute into a series of steps. Investigating this further led to an afternoon workshop and then full-day retreats at ZCLA and other venues in California. Thank you for taking the time to read this cloudbook, my offering of the Dharma. I hope it benefits you and the others in your life. I also hope that you got a glimpse of the Old Spring that is the source of our life, and that these Three Steps will help you flow easily with the New Water.
