Join Barry each week as he shares a mix of brand-new writing, unearthed gems from the archives, and never-before-seen material — from poetry and personal reflections to deep dives into The Tools, video teachings, and everything in between. This is a space for exploring the inner world with honesty, humor, and a willingness to go deep.


There is a 14th century Persian poet named Hafiz who wrote one of the shortest, simplest and most beautiful poems I have ever read…

It goes like this:

“Even after all this time,

The Sun never says to the Earth:

‘You owe me.’

Look what happens with a Love like that –

It lights up the whole sky!!”
