'It is great wisdom to know how to be silent and to look at neither the remarks, nor the deeds, nor the lives of others.' – Saint John of the Cross A friend sent that quote to me the other week. Wisdom, knowledge and choice, to me, is freedom....assessing where your time is [...]
It might mean your heart changes. Or that you let go of an old way of being. That you finally did what you've been intending for so long but didn't quite know how. Or that God, the Universe, that awesome essence, light, power, jump-started an initiative for you. Or maybe you just decided to stop [...]
....under my feet I feel the sky tumbling down, tumbling down.... Those words were in my head soon after I awoke this morning. That and the memory that I'd dreamt I tattooed some emblematic design all over my face, a big blotch of blue on the right side, which I was happy I could cover [...]
...but what you DON'T say that can be harmful. Communication is ticky. (ticky being a new favorite word). I was told by someone once....'communication is the response you get'. I don't know if I entirely agree with that. For instance, I might say to you, 'damn this workshop blows'. You might look at me aghast [...]
News alert to my psyche...hope (the context I know) is dangerous. I'm sitting with an awareness this morning of what a therapist I used to 'hang out with' called, 'the hungry ghost'. This ghost, to me, is the one that holds on to some belief, some aspiration of change, transformation, illusion, (mostly in others) [...]
The power of YouTube.....google had Theresa Anderson on their main page this morning..... a new talent to me. Ahh the fiddle. Ahh the voice. Makes me (and clearly), Mary, weep! [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GJkQvyoWJBk&hl=en_US&fs=1&] BB Webb
I'm considering the importance of details in some matters and then again, not, in others. In my business, you bet, and accountability measures ARE being put into place at every switch and turn. I'm surveying it all, and finding that just like a bolt can become loose on a bicycle, so can the details in [...]
This line of thought came to me today. It's a good thought. Consider your assumptions. I'm looking at mine. We really don't know so many things...why people do what they do, who really is watching over us, loving us, in the seen and unseen, why events in our life occur the way they do. I'm [...]
I have been sleeping a lot during my eye surgery recovery and dreaming. I dream a lot anyway....while awake and especially when asleep. Maurice Sendak's characters are tame compared to what show up on my inner HD widescreen. I've also had time to stop the normal fast spinning ferris wheel of my life for a [...]
I'm midway along this new adventure, a surgery in fact (and as my pal Lulu and I love to say, 'the details don't matter', as often they don't). I traveled to have some eye repair, my first reminiscant surgery when I was 7 years old, then 8. I'm in good care with a doctor I [...]
