Across the Table: Recent Episodes
Hannibal
Build, create, Yes. But don't forget the things that are already present. Stewardship is part of creativity.
The responsibility of the artist is not just to create, but to exercise good stewardship over what already exists.
Violet is a quiet moment of spiritual awakening, a pause to listen to your intuition and embark on a spiritual journey. It's a reminder that everything is connected in mind body spirit, offering spiritual guidance and recognizing spiritual signs. ✨
In the art of magic, as in life, the hand must be still before it moves. This episode explores the delicate balance between focus and flow, between the sleight of hand and the stillness of mind that makes it possible. We talk about presence. About breath. About learning to trust the moment before the motion — where the real magic hides. This isn’t a tutorial. It’s a meditation for performers, storytellers, and anyone who wants to live with more grace and intention. ✨ The magician’s hand creates illusion. The Zen mind reveals truth. Sit with me Across the Table. Light a candle. Pour your tea. Let’s talk about stillness, awareness, and the art of attention.
Hannibal shares insights from his own spiritual journey, offering inspiration for viewers seeking motivation and self improvement. By focusing on mindset and embracing meditation, we can achieve spiritual growth and find inner peace. This experience reminded me of something important.
Reminiscent conversation with Wild Man Ted Loring, one of the best friends I've ever known.
I'm great at communications to groups. I'm horrible at intimate relationships. You have to lead with your strengths.
Caution: the story here may be triggering. It's difficult to tell, it may be difficult to hear.
Not for the awards, not for the critics, not for fame or wealth. I do this for the audience.

My dear friend Selwa Luke created this song for me, based on the message I try to convey and how my art makes her feel. I’m so moved ...
