Born On this Day: W. Somerset Maugham

“It seems that the creative faculty and the critical faculty can not exist together in their highest perfection.” W. Somerset Maugham I am not laughing about me, I am laughing about critics. In certain moments, vitality > mindfulness. Ha ha haaaa. Thanks to the conspicuously elegant and keen writer for expressing it with such tact.Continue reading “Born On this Day: W. Somerset Maugham”

It’s Right to Like, and Promote, the Good Ones

The people who keep dumping on you do it because it is their habit and because they are not moved by friendship or are unable of relating. Time spent waiting for them to change their approach or to “grow up” is time wasted. When you raise a child, you learn how long it takes toContinue reading “It’s Right to Like, and Promote, the Good Ones”

Born On this Day: Django Reinhardt

Django Reinhardt was born on this day in 1910. The guitarist started to get attention from listeners when he was only 12.

No one thought thatContinue reading “Born On this Day: Django Reinhardt”

Born On this Day: Marija Gimbutas

Marija Gimbutas was born 100 years ago. A few years ago, I shared an interview with her (not on this blog that is only 9 months old). I will leave my words intact, with the interview that followed it.  “Marija Gimbutas was born on this day. I will clip in this interview with her, beforeContinue reading “Born On this Day: Marija Gimbutas”

20 January Is Now “What’s Going On” Day

Marvin Gaye’s poignant song “What’s Going On” turns 50 on this day. To honour the anniversary, the state of Michigan will declare January 20th the What’s Going On Day. Governor Gretchen Whitmer explains the wonderful decision: “Having this tribute on the calendar provides us with an important moment—one where we can come together as aContinue reading “20 January Is Now “What’s Going On” Day”

Born On this Day: Robert Palmer

We all remember him for his voice and his suave appearance, the suits and the urbane image he presented. But all that Robert Palmer wanted was to make music of all genres that satisfied his ears and that made his audiences dance. In interviews, it came through that he never agreed to becoming a cartoonContinue reading “Born On this Day: Robert Palmer”

Reconnect To Your Body And To the Earth Body

The world is the world. It is not your projections or someone else’s projections on it. Unless you are a researcher and have looked at a situation very long, observed it from all angles, have first hand experience with the topic, you can rest assured that whatever you pick up has to do with yourContinue reading “Reconnect To Your Body And To the Earth Body”

New Moon In January, New Moon In Capricorn: What Will You Grow?

New moon is such a juicy time of the month: cleansing, balmy, receptive, and a tad electric.  I know that I am not the only person who likes the ambience on new moons. Many people, especially those who have an excess of heat in the body, in the emotions, or in the thoughts appreciate theContinue reading “New Moon In January, New Moon In Capricorn: What Will You Grow?”

Co-Weaving With the Earth

Loving the earth with your hands, your actions, your attitude is a powerful and powerfully unifying way to love yourself. Because the earth reciprocates the love it receives. You become more and more conscious of it once you give it a try. Everything alive appreciates love. (Except the human being, maybe, but that is aContinue reading “Co-Weaving With the Earth”

Be Angry Or Fix the Problem

You can be angry, or you can fix the problem. So what, if it takes years to fix? Is it better to search for all the reasons that will raise your blood pressure for a few hours and make you feel justified, even ardently “woke” for a few months, or is it better to pressContinue reading “Be Angry Or Fix the Problem”

How to Bring People Back From Delusion to What Is Real

This afternoon, I overheard this intelligent and useful approach when dealing with people who have been brainwashed and may be unable to admit it, but would benefit from your kindness and skill, so that they can leave the past in the past. … “There is something very powerful about being part of a group that taps intoContinue reading “How to Bring People Back From Delusion to What Is Real”

Early Morning Meditation Fruits

Your processing and your ability to respond to a situation (in the way that you desire) changes with the level of stress you are experiencing. The more aware you become of that, and of how much more you are being yourself when at ease and peace, the more compassion you can bring to others, andContinue reading “Early Morning Meditation Fruits”

Watershed

A good reminder of how interconnected we are with our watershed. Very sound points. Our culture needs more sanity to express caring rather than the controversies we get bombarded with every day that distract everyone from doing what is possible and from forging right relationships with the elements we depend on: water, air, and earth.Continue reading “Watershed”
