I am a retired philosophy instructor and former retreat director for Tashi Choling Center for Buddhist Studies and Hollow Bones Zen. I have written two books, the first, "God Is Ethics" (addressing moral theory) and the "The Unicorn Problem", focusing on philosophical precepts related to the question of religious faith, philosophy and the perennial quest for certain knowledge.. My wife and I currently live in Talent, Oregon, along with our kitty-cat, Aldus.
