My wife and I are standing on the rocks en route to the Guttenberg Haus, high in the Dachstein region of the Austrian Alps. I’ve seen this hut from my room, down in the valley, where I stay when I teach in Austria, but I’ve never been here in the summer, when its open. As we pause for a sip of water I look down and see the ski jump facility in Ramsau, a small Alpine village that lives by... Read more

The transforming power of art

(On this 4th of July, I’m happy to share the talents of author and artist, Christy Tennant. She’s just moved to Seattle, offers a review of my new book on her great blog here, and is the Director of Global Community for the International Arts Movement). Enjoy! It was a sweltering July day. I was on a crosstown bus in Harlem, heading from my apartment on E. 112th Street to the Department of Motor Vehicles to register my Jeep in... Read more

Surprised by joy? No…it’s just like God to give it!

We’d been hiking for a little while. Up 1000 meters, and then down 1000. Up another 1000, and then down again. Then up one more time, and down half way to our final night at a hut. The huts are the Alpine alternative to backpacking. Instead of carrying everything with you, all you need is fresh underwear, a little soap and toothpaste, and a sheet. The hut provides you with a bed, pillow, blanket, your beverage of choice, and a... Read more

(Good Wednesday to you – My wife Donna and I have just returned from three days of hiking in the Alps, blissfully internet free. In my absence, my friend Ian has offered a guest post about the importance of living in the present – while you read, I’ll go enjoy some Schnitzel, and plan on sharing about tomorrow about lessons learned in the Alps) The instant gratification that grew up out of consumerism was like a gateway drug, and it...

The slippery slope is slick with cheap oil

Last updated on: June 24, 2011 at 7:15 am By Richard Dahlstrom

At 1.51 Euro per liter, gas is $8.63 a gallon over here in Europe. Somehow, in spite of this, and in spite of the challenges presented by the Euro due to the crisis in Greece and other countries, the German economy is doing well. Economic growth, it appears, isn’t always tied to cheap oil. How has this happened? In part it’s happened because the German government has seen the writing on the wall, the reality that black gold won’t pour... Read more

Single? What are you waiting for?

Last updated on: June 17, 2011 at 9:27 am By Richard Dahlstrom

Today’s guest post is from someone who’s living into her singleness. She’s moved to Europe, where she teaches English Literature during the school year, and guides young people through the Alps in the summer. Her contentment and joy, right where she’s at, challenge all of us to drop the “as soon as” language, and begin living today. Kristi Dahlstrom is my oldest daughter. Our love of mountains and words, coffee and wine, conversation and travel, keep the two of us,... Read more
