I Smell you Loud and Clear!!
When my kid was 10 months old, her father got diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer and they told him he had 6 months to live. When suddenly faced with your own mortality while you stare at the future in the eyes of your infant child, it does funny things to your mind. Those six […]

That Familiar Thing
I have pondered a lot lately about domestic abuse. The complexity of it is that it has many faces and sometimes it is hard to see beneath the surface to recognize it for what it is, both to the abuser and the victim. I have had a personal experience of it but I cannot tell […]

Se agapo!
You know how when you go to a foreign country and you try to learn a word or two of the local language, there is always a dim wit that wants to teach you the curse words and sleazy phrases? Yes, I found a few of those over the years, some milder than others. In […]

There is no dignity in fighting
When I was growing up, the one thing I recall hearing from my father very often is “There is no dignity in fighting”. As far as he was concerned, every conflict can be resolved with dialogue. Some dialogues can be handled between the conflicting parties and others will require a mediator, but no matter how […]

Great Rot with Deep Roots
Yesterday was my birthday and I spent it (like I normally do) contemplating how I had spent the past year, what I’d like to improve on, and what I’d like to do differently or drop off altogether.For some reason, none of that lingered long enough. My mind kept going to the image of Amy Cooper […]

He used to say “if you are feeling sad (negative energy), go and make something with your hands (creating being positive energy) and if that doesn’t work, do something nice for someone else”. […]

Lemons produce ONLY lemon juice.
We’re in the second month of social isolation. When it all began, we expected it to last only a few days, at worse a week or two. But then the days began to reveal the depth of the situation and the gravity of it all towards our health and safety, and soon a week became […]

Ho’oponopono – Making it right.
DISCLAIMER: This posting is about an aspect of spirituality that resonates with me personally. I am not promoting any belief per se, not encouraging subscription to what is shared.

Connection
Hello folks, I’m talking about connection today. I think the dictionary will probably describe it as the act of linking one thing or a person to another….or something along that line. If you see it that way, then our situation as is with Covid 19 isolation, is not totally bad and we are not totally […]

Being in the NOW
Hello folks, I have not blogged in years, and it is just as well. I am in a very different place today, mentally, emotionally and spiritually, and it is only befitting that I’d be resuming writing from my new perspective on life, spirit and art. I have had a few blogs over the years that […]
