Two Portions Of Gratitude, One Portion Of Love

There is a thirst in us for appreciation. It is both a thirst to be appreciated and a thirst to appreciate. There is a need in us for gratitude. It is both a need to hear thank you and a need to feel thank you. May we be led to the sources of water. MayContinue reading “Two Portions Of Gratitude, One Portion Of Love”

Co-Create Abundance In Your Corner Of the World

If on this Equinox you are smitten with the abundance in nature, you can decide to participate in it in the coming year. Maybe there is a shift in attitude you can lean into, or a series of steady actions towards enjoying and co-creating abundance in your corner of the world. Now is a goodContinue reading “Co-Create Abundance In Your Corner Of the World”

Answer From the Garden

It is funny how I always see the shape of a heart in nature — in fog, clouds, tree crowns, water, coffee, stains, leaves… Yesterday, I was pondering a problem in my garden that, on the surface at least, is the opposite of heart or love. I found no answer to how to solve it,Continue reading “Answer From the Garden”

How Do You Contribute To the Web Of Life?

Confidence grows from contributing to the harmony in the web of life. It is not a showy type of confidence that you can push on others in order to prove a point and that crumbles before a challenge, rather the opposite: the confidence that lets you feel at peace, makes you available and able toContinue reading “How Do You Contribute To the Web Of Life?”

Happy Birthday to Chris Hedges

Chris Hedges is a truth teller at a time when truth is not valued – by the masses. Me, I value it. There are so many great essays, so many good books, so many keen observations that he shared over the decades. On this day, I am grateful to his example. Because he shows up,Continue reading “Happy Birthday to Chris Hedges”

Born On this Day: Clara Schumann

The pianist stopped composing at the age of 36.  Maybe due to her nurturing of her husband Robert, raising their children more or less alone, mentoring Johannes Brahms. Maybe the constraints were realistic. Maybe she had a superwoman complex that made her particularly perfectionistic. Surely, the society of her time was not exactly supportive ofContinue reading “Born On this Day: Clara Schumann”

Realism and Idealism In the Right Place

Learn from realists about relationships. Learn from idealists about promising projects. To mistake one for the other is a huge mistake. You pay dearly — with your health, with your time, and sometimes with your life. Meanwhile, and while you make yourself believe that an adult can change if treated well, you could be buildingContinue reading “Realism and Idealism In the Right Place”

Initiative: Pep In a Consumerist Paradigm

Your dreams of today will be your tomorrow if you make them your plans. Know that you don’t need to declare them, argue or worry about them. You only have to commit to them. The fixation on nightmares is energy that can be put to use into manifesting the setting you are dreaming about. AllContinue reading “Initiative: Pep In a Consumerist Paradigm”

Human Evolution

I am afraid to state that most men mature only when they are being denied love, that only the pain over the pain they have caused, or the pain of having been thrown into a situation they have to navigate on their own – for a substantial time – will make them into adults. WomenContinue reading “Human Evolution”
