Tacoma Washington, But was 24 years in Los Angeles,
About 1995 I changed my name to Colin Hanlen - now
that is an interesting story. I think the guiding light for leaving the active
catholic ministry was a voice within that said there have to be better
explanations for life and death and such than we were taught. So I have studied
Eastern, Oriental, Native American, Wiccan, etc. I
now consider myself to be a "Freelance Priest" and frequently am
engaged in a variety of ministerial actiivities. I
have written some articles for New Age magazines, mostly about sexuality and
relationship. Of course I married, but also divorced and have 3 children and a
grandson, had a marriage counseling practice for a time. But mostly
carpenter/handyman has paid the bills. (Now talk about an education - to be in
peoples home and see how dysfunctional they live and yet cannot say a word
about true spirituality and healthy belief systems. I have witnessed way too
much abuse of women, men, children, pets and the environment - and a major part
of it is done by well meaning women. It seems people would rather fix their
stuff rather than themselves. My love is the 30 years I have spent with
Handwriting Analysis which instantly reveals personality. Also change your
writing and you can change your life. I also use tarot cards, western, chinese and aztec
astrology, numerology, etc. So like Shirley McClain I have gone out on a limb
and have found that metaphysics, has far more depth than"scholastic metaphysics", has helped me to
better understand life and its purpose. I had a metaphysical book store in

I truly loved my years with the Oblates, my brothers, my professors... community life and all that this entailed. I think often of all of these great men, where they are, how they are, and pray for them daily.
