As we live and work through the decades of life, we accumulate not only information, but hopefully some useful experience, a few insights, some bits of wisdom. I’m not so sure I can boast accomplishing any of these things, but I do now find myself being driven to put forth work that I have done and am doing and to enter many new areas of interest that are emerging for me. I have been an academic for almost 40 years. Years ago after publishing a dozen books and several dozen articles I grew weary of the traditional publication process and have simply stockpiled book and article manuscripts, lectures, and other materials preferring to do the work and live an engaging life rather than struggle through the publication process. I think, I feel, that these are my best works. I am just now beginning to think about publishing some of this work. The time is ripe. For over twenty years I have been a dancer and dance teacher. These activities have complemented my academic work and I believe they totally changed who I am (I really mean this at the level of tissue–muscle, bone, and neurons). They transformed a mind/brain oriented person practicing a sedentary mind-centered life to a person who appreciates as fully as possible that human beings cannot separate mind and body. My current unfolding works are focused on developing important discussions that do not even need to offer excuses for how the mind/body problem is treated. I owned and operated a dance studio for years. I have been avid fitness enthusiast and health advocate for a long time and all this has informed what I do and make. I have and am now engaging in many new enterprises and forms of writing, working, and living.
