Contradictions

The world is full of contradictions, just as we are, as we are the creators of the world, it would follow suit that all forms and structures in the world are just an external expression of our internal challenges, passions and needs. We are given directives and mandates, instructions all day, every day and we…

Identity

IDENTITY is a way you want to be seen or r how you do not want to be seen. I want to be seen as Talented, not Lucky. I want to be seen as Smart, not Stupid. I want to be seen as THE MAN, not Limp. We all have multiple IDENTITIES- meaning ways we…

Ch-Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes

“We are determined by two very distinct properties. Shame and Love. These two qualities are parallel travelers that intersect, and change leads all the time throughout our lives.” “Surrender is the ability to relinquish your authority for another’s credibility.” You can try to hold on to an ideal, a lifestyle, a time, but the disruptive vortex…

Innocence Lost

Hard to maintain your innocence in a world of mental distress, violence and disappointment but that is the attempt. It’s not the goal because a goal is somewhere out there beyond you. The attempt lives in the moment, in the immediate, in the here and now.  To look at life with wonder and fresh eyes might be a…

Sacred Vows

Whether you are saying Good-bye or saying Hello, our Sacred Vows are the touchstone of what is true.  Sacred vows include what you have said about yourself, to yourself, in the quiet moments. Sacred Vows act as a baseline, a reset and illicit an inventory of where you have fallen short or have lost your way or where life’s arrows have…

RC

One of my oldest and dearest friends just died. A truly beautiful person inside and out, who exponentially enhanced the world and the people he touched. He wasn’t famous but his influence and impact was like that of a celebrity. He was a beautiful mixture of sardonic and sweet. I will miss him. I hadn’t…

Liberation Creation Production

There’s a natural order to everything; We keep screwing with the natural order of things. Most people live from Production, Creation, Liberation. If I get something, have something, conclude something, accomplish something, I will be more creative which in turn will give me Liberation/Freedom. Wrong order. First comes liberation regardless of the circumstances (That is…

Moments

Got to savor the moments- The moments of relief from anxiety, stress, fears.  Stress is the water we are swimming in, whether you’re in the shallow end of the pool or the deep end, we are all still wet. Stress is an interesting coupling of resistance and desire. The resistance is fairly self evident, when one…
