Скачать или смотреть The Black Dot: A 20-Year Practice in Living, Noticing, and Letting Go

In this reflection, I share a simple but powerful practice I’ve followed for over 20 years: the “Black Dot” method. It’s not a diary or a journal—it’s more like a mirror. A way of noticing when something is off. A way to track the moments of tension, imbalance, or insight that appear in daily life. One dot at a time.

From a fall while fishing to losing my condo to wildfire, from working with AI and brain fog to deep reflections on aging and purpose—I speak about what happened during my five-month stay in New Zealand. I review the dots—literal and metaphorical—and what they taught me about patience, posture, passion, and the gentle unraveling of habit and delusion.

It’s not a method everyone would adopt. But it’s helped me live with more clarity, and sometimes, more peace. A mirror of my own making. Shared, not as advice, but as a possibility. A little offering from a perhaps “naughty guy” with a background in management, meditation, and a mission that still rings true: May all beings be happy.
