Cole is a management consultant and poet that finds delight in Nature which is often pointed out to him by a canine companion while he attempts to walk mindfully through the woods. Cole mixes his psychology background, perennial wisdom practices, and poetry to deliver his simple message: there’s joy to be found if we know how to look for it. Oh, he’s not the calm, cool, Zen cucumber you might expect. He still feels a range of emotions as he attempts to maintain his PBS practice. What’s PBS? His Zen Buddhist mentor explains that it means Pause, Breathe, and Smile – or, if that doesn’t work, Peanut Butter Sandwich. Both can help avoid negative knee-jerk reactions that often only make life more difficult. While practicing PBS, Cole lives with his wife in rural Missouri relatively near St. Louis.

Patrick J. Cole is a management consultant and poet who finds delight in nature, especially the hidden wildlife often pointed out to him by a canine companion while he attempts to walk mindfully through the woods.
Cole mixes his psychology background, perennial wisdom practices, and poetry to deliver his simple message: there’s joy to be found if we know how to look for it.
Oh, Cole might look calm, cool, and collected, but he still feels a range of strong emotions as he attempts to maintain his PBS practice. What is PBS? His Zen Buddhist mentor explains that it means Pause, Breathe, and Smile—or, if that doesn’t work, Peanut Butter Sandwich. Both can help avoid harmful knee-jerk reactions.
While practicing PBS, Cole lives with his naturally beautiful wife in rural Missouri, relatively near St. Louis.view less
