Sometimes it is very easy to get caught up in the capitalistic model of “doing”. After all, doing is fun. Doing is where the “action” happens. This is true and the next statement is not to say that we should not “do” things. But the reality of life is that we are not what we…
If a building requires steel to make its skeleton then asking is required to build the blueprint of a happy life. You see we receive what we believe. Paradoxically the interesting thing about what we believe is often we have to receive it first. So we need to receive to believe to receive. And so goes the cycle of life. A…
Easter is just past and in the Christian tradition it means a renewal has occurred. The story tells us that the messiah has arrived for the believers and he has in fact died for his followers and been reborn. Hence all his followers need do is to believe and also be reborn without human failings…

Sometimes a thing can be so obvious it appears as almost invisible to us. This photo is about the sky but without the water, the sky would not be blue. This can be true in our own lives as well. Life provides us with consciousness yet we not be aware of it or use it…
Life sometimes can appear to carry us away on the tradewinds. The allure of the future. The push and pull of our fantasies can conspire to take us out of the moment. Do not be fooled. If we do not live in this moment, what makes us think we will present for the next one?…
