In moments of peace and tranquility, it is difficult to imagine that there is any moment but this one. Walking on the sand at night, watching the waves crest gently, flow into the shore, catching glimpses of the moon reflected upon the foam or deeper within the...

Changing the footing of our life work, our daily activities is a challenging process under any circumstances. But initiating such a change away from the premise that our life must be productive in order to be of value, is almost impossible. We are indoctrinated with...

For many years I struggled with owning that I was a creative person, in fact I would defer to my sister as the ‘artist’, the person in our family who was the ‘creative one’. Eventually I was able to by-pass the whole inner debate, and came to an awareness of...

Today’s technology, for all of its magic, has a distinct down-side – providing infinite forums to help create the illusion of safety, we believe we have full freedom to convey our own true self without censorship, completely unhampered by others’ judgments which may...

There is much ‘talk’ and admonition about learning to live from our heart and not from our head (to the dismay of many intellectual and scientific folks). But I can relate to the tyranny of the mind — reflecting back on the eons of struggle,...

When I start to examine my Life I get into trouble. When I compare my insides to other people’s outsides, I get into trouble. I periodically find myself in moments of doubt, questioning the choices that I’ve made, questioning the paths that I’ve taken. Wondering if I...

Each moment presents a choice, and results in a choice. Choices. Free will or pre-ordained? Right or Wrong? Good or Bad? Anxiety arises. Living becomes mental, and we become lost. Not understanding that the web weaves itself. That ‘Yes’ can become...

When I’m in the ‘moment’, when I give myself up to the experience, when I choose ‘this thing to do’ or ‘that place to be’ or ‘that experience to have’, it is all I want to do. And I find that I am incredibly content with myself. It’s beyond contentment really; it is...

Grief and Joy are such a part of life — when one is in Joy, Grief is in the shadows, so one forgets how it is the sharpness of Grief that makes Joy possible. It’s the pits when we are forced to remember. Yet there is something to New Life that comes with...

I don’t have children, but I’ve had the opportunity to witness how older kids seem to have a harder time forgiving/forgetting, always bringing the focus back to themselves. For me, a product of my childhood, I’m reminded of the first time I came to...

When you wrote about feeling so used and betrayed, I was reminded of a way I’ve moved through various thrashings I’ve experienced in the relationship world. My default used to be to examine the other person, especially tempting if their behavior is...

For many years I gave myself away, over and over and over. Despite numerous heartbreaks, grief and loss, I would replay the play (with different players). Eventually I came to a deep realization of how I have always loved ‘him’ more than myself. There was...
