It is amazing: the shape and the colour of a bud and blossom indicate the shape and the colour of the fruit. The plant follows a blueprint that in all seasons of growth you can recognize an apple, a cherry, a pear, a rose. Look deeply, and you will see it, that blueprint. 🌸 CanContinue reading “Seasons of Growth”

Healers in the Plant World
Wild fruits or herbs with the most concentrated healing properties tend to grow in places where other plants do not manage to develop. The reason for that is not, as some have interpreted, that potent plants do “not depend on” a community, that they become rugged loners, or undemanding, low maintenance, “neglect lovers”; on theContinue reading “Healers in the Plant World”
Happy Birthday to Rajendra Singh!
Rajendra Singh, whose 61st birthday is today, has rejuvenated many rivers and aquifers in Rajasthan, India, with his foundation over the years, and has the answer to many water problems on earth, one of our era’s biggest challenges. The model of water conservation he initiated was old, not high-tech, ecologically sane, pretty low cost, communityContinue reading “Happy Birthday to Rajendra Singh!”
Something To Look Forward To:
There comes a time when you have outgrown certain habits, distractions, dramas, and you can say it too in the matter-of-factly style that you would refuse a coffee when what you want, need, and can have, is water. Desire, need, and attainability certainly speed up the process of deliberately choosing what is right for you.Continue reading “Something To Look Forward To:”
Cessation of Conditioning
The poet Percy Bysshe Shelley, who was born on this day in 1792, mentioned in one of his writings (I can’t refer to it now, I am pulling it from memory) that men go mad with desire for the rare, exotic, withholding, and those they can not figure out. That may be a fair statementContinue reading “Cessation of Conditioning”
Jog Your Brain Into New Territory
It is not only “boss” to draw the best out of every situation and bring your mind to acknowledge what is good about where you are now and what you want to remember in the future, it also activates a new way of looking at life that is fun and very sane. You will noticeContinue reading “Jog Your Brain Into New Territory”
Take the Next Step
Every person who has manifested a big dream had a plan of action. Exact thinking, correct thinking, self-confidence, deserving it, belief in the self, belief in the future, enough resources or support — though advantageous goods — were not what manifested the dream. It was a series of steps that they took. Acting towards yourContinue reading “Take the Next Step”
Joy Is Inviting. Joy is Contagious.

Feed your eyes, feed your ears, feed your nose with joy. #nurturing #appreciation #moodContinue reading “Joy Is Inviting. Joy is Contagious.”
From the Inside Out and From the Outside In
What you clean up on the inside is for you to enjoy. What you clean up on the outside, everyone can enjoy. Both parts are important — the inner and the outer work. But to conclude that unhappiness is a personal problem is myopic and disconnected, and it clearly shows that there is no faithContinue reading “From the Inside Out and From the Outside In”
Pick and Maintain
Keeping and polishing your best stuff is an art quite like keeping memories that give you purpose, make you smile and nurture you… and vice versa, as within, so without, as without, so within: the process of decluttering helps you to lighten up; the process of dwelling on experiences that uplift you and give you meaningContinue reading “Pick and Maintain”
Sacred Sites That Are Water
Lake Superior and Lake Huron are places of power and inspiration to me. Of course, they are also places of great beauty and freshness. Just for today, I look forward to the flow of scents, scenes and sounds without and to the flow of images, words and sounds within.

Summer Is Heaven
Summer is heaven. I feel in my element. Summer is my time. Everything but the mosquitoes contributes to my well-being. I could easily live in a hot climate. I love the freedom of wearing thin and few garments. I love the feeling of the sun on my skin — effortless contentment, it feels so nurturing.Continue reading “Summer Is Heaven”

Nurture It Forward: EarthSends
One thing I can always rely on, for the last 17 years or so, when I started sending healing to our planet every Friday: Friday turns out good to great. Saturday is better. Yeah, I have been doing it that long. I plan to practise it for life. Friday brings heaven to earth every week.Continue reading “Nurture It Forward: EarthSends”
Love Is – You Can Not Create It – Cherish It
You can strengthen a bond through shared experiences. But you do not create love. Love rises effortlessly for no other reasons than that a person inspires it by being – himself or herself. Some people leave us cold. Some give us a hard time because we don’t fit their ideas of who we should be.Continue reading “Love Is – You Can Not Create It – Cherish It”
Inkling
The first impression of a place, a setting or a person is quite far from what it turns out to be. That is why you can only speak with authority about a topic that has saturated your mind. First impressions are helpful though when they touch your curiosity, inspire, or provide you with a goodContinue reading “Inkling”
The Redolence of Heat
I am grateful to the first thing I notice on this day: To the hot pink sky before sunrise that only deep summer produces. To the succulent green foliage in the land. – The colours of the heart chakra. To the perception of slow motion that the heat induces, that time is expanded and abundant.Continue reading “The Redolence of Heat”
From Mindset to Mindset
When I was a teenager, the things that move or impress me today were already part of my experience, but I didn’t react to them in the same way. I registered them as “curious”, “odd”, somewhat uncommon and as having more life force, even though I wouldn’t have used the term and I didn’t haveContinue reading “From Mindset to Mindset”
Freedom: Luscious in Art and When Embodied
Great art — be it music, poetry, literature, sculpture, painting or film — changes the way we move in the world. Its effects are first felt in the body, and then in the mind — as liberation, as expansion into a wider, untapped reality, connection and empathy, as the freedom to think in ways forContinue reading “Freedom: Luscious in Art and When Embodied”
“Nose”
Parents, partners, friends, colleagues: always listen to your gut. Or to your instinctual-emotional knowing. It will steer you right. Especially if you are a parent. You may not rationalize the vibes that you are picking up, but they are communicating something to you that you need to pay attention to. Stay connected. NJ 29 July 2015Continue reading ““Nose””
