What I Think of Me is My Business

Do I stay informed and take action or do I focus on my inner life? Is there a way to do both?

Choice Point

We have within us an ancient mind and a future one. What if humanity is at a choice point where we must choose between two different paths?

She's With Me

I don’t remember when I discovered her. She emerged one day sitting in front of me, watching me.

Wandering

I've been on an accelerated course discovering myself. At times, I feel confused and shaken when I compare my insides to other's outsides.

Holding the Light

It’s so easy to believe what we see, feel or were taught when there is so much more. Sometimes it takes someone else holding a light for us.

Introspection

Using introspection, we can maintain an interior monologue of an "I" talking with "me". We can say "I drive myself crazy." But who's me & I?

I have lost my ability to sing. I wonder if my tender emotions have been part of it. So I went on a retreat to learn to love myself.

Generational Circles

I chose to call close my inner child. I'm 8 years old, standing in the yard. If I had the opportunity to speak to her, what would I say?

When I listened to reflections, I felt myself become an observer of me listening. I live more with the dualism of being human and spirit.

Knock Knock

Every time I ignore the knock knock, my reservoir empties more. But I found a way to ground by doing forest bathing.

I was taught that the only things that are real are those that can be measured by instruments. Nowhere was I taught to sense energy.

Pebble in the Water

I fell in love with poetry. There was one poem that was my favorite. I read it often. I knew it by heart. It popped up a lot in my life.
