Eckhart Tolle is kicking my butt....and I like it. I like to see things with fresh eyes. From his, 'A New Earth'. 'The ego always wants something from other people or situations. There is always a hidden agenda, always a sense of 'not enough yet,' of insufficiency and lack that needs to be filled. It [...]
...or in my case, 'BB-ing'! We all see through different lenses. I've escaped my 3 most pressing issues (and they are not small, to me) for a fortnight. Leaving town a moment with conversations and visits with a friend help to bring a momentary escape and rest to my brain. I'm thankful for that. [...]
I was 'speaking' with a friend via email, as so many of us do these days, actual dialogue, with intonations, breaths and audible sighs a faded memory in some cases. A travesty to a trained actress and a great challenge to a writer. How do we most effectively express what is in our hearts? I [...]
The plural of opus, is opera. I just learned that today. I would have thought it was Opi....but what do I know!? One of my favorite films is 'Mr. Holland's Opus'. A man, (Richard Dreyfuss), a musician intent on creating his major musical work, his symphony, his opus to present to the world. Instead, his [...]
I'm inspired by brilliance, creativity, talent, heart, openness, honesty.... which often takes uncanny courage....the kind where you REALLY take a look in the mirror, where you work to love yourself despite all the silly stuff you might have done in the past. I'm also inspired by people's willingness to shift, turn, grown and love despite [...]
There is not much to say but..... I hold you softly in the palm of my hand. And I send you love. Good cheer. Peace within your heart. And fun...joy, a measure of intrigue. Because....just because. And, thank you for trusting me. And thank you for honoring my trust in you. All is well. BB [...]
I’m waxing a bit poetic this late evening. You may want to play Erik Satie’s music below while reading. And in that it's probably morning time for you, you may consider reading and listening with a strong cup of espresso or hot ceylon or oolong tea, sweetened just so, snugged up in a comfy chair [...]
I'm thinking about how different something, an object, person, story or experience can look when you move around it to a slightly different angle. Black can become white or well, really any shade under the sun. I've been seeing a few things from a different view lately and as I do....holy cow....a new day [...]
I'm sitting with a mystery. It's a serious one to me. I've traveled with some interesting teachers my spell here on the planet. I've seen smarts, compassion, passion, diverse talent galore, ego and heart mixed in interesting combinations with all these teachers. I pick and choose from what I see. I try not to expect [...]
Earlier this week, I could tell when I woke one morning with my lower back cracked in two, (symbol: support...maybe...perception is everything), that I was in for one hell of a time. Literally, I could not stand. I don't remember such excrutiating pain. I was doubled over making me weary from the lack of [...]
