Wounds Are Where Light Comes
A discussion of wounds, healing and resilience during times of crisis. Wounds can be our deepest pain and fear, yet maybe the source of our greatest strengths. Wounds provide an opportunity to let the light in. But wounds have two faces: a light face and a dark face. Wounds can be the source of shadowContinue reading “Wounds Are Where Light Comes”
The Heart of Darkness
A brief reminder that within the dark, there is light. In the heart of darkness, fear doesn’t exist. It only exists in “your” definition of a situation. Look into the dark… for the light. Don’t look at the dark (can’t see anything anyway). But look (investigate) the dark for the light. What does this reveal?Continue reading “The Heart of Darkness”
Into The Mystic
“Gonna leave this broke down palace…” Wherever you look, crisis of things collapsing, strange behaviors and glitches. It is time to focus inward. Establishing a calm center in the “I” of the hurricane. If attention is on the storm, the normal reaction is to freeze, fight or flee. Which results in being sucked in andContinue reading “Into The Mystic”

Brief thoughts on the calmness of being while the storms rage. Equanimity (being calm) is straightforward, but how do you get there?

In Vipassana meditation,Continue reading “The Strategy of Equanimity”

Just Be!
Life does not concern itself. But why do we? Remember, you are already perfect. Grow into it. Set your roots deep and stretch for the sun. Be grateful for the storms and the seasons as they too shall pass and come around again. Learn from the birds and the bees; the opportunity to share andContinue reading “Just Be!”
Mirror Of The Self, Love What You See? … Look Deeper
A brief discussion of the mirror as a tool of discovery, experience, and being. This past week’s grandpa day with my 10-month-old grandson inspired this post. He is at the stage of “mirroring.” Mirroring is unconsciously copying other people’s actions and expressions. Refers to a natural phenomenon that plays a role in learning, social communication,Continue reading “Mirror Of The Self, Love What You See? … Look Deeper”
