I Believe in Love

Thirty years ago today I stood on a threshold facing a precipice that I did not approach lightly or easily. I knew the real dangers of infatuation, of unrequited love, of cruel indifference to a soul laid bare. I carried the wounds from risking too much, from hoping too much, from believing in false...

“Keep Me Away from Wisdom that Does Not Cry”

I cut my teeth on Kahlil Gibran’s The Prophet. Even at a very young age there was a sense of truth in his words that resonated with my soul. All these years later, I feel the same way. The simple, yet profound words he used continues to reach thousands upon thousands of hearts and souls [...]

How Aging is Like Economics

I was an Economics major in college. I know, can you believe it? I took a circuitous route to that destination and abandoned it almost as quickly as I became enamored with it, and sadly before I completed my degree! The last semester was torture! There was some illogical logic to my interest in the ...

Childhood Memories and a Naturopath

rubyblossom. / Stock Photos Old childhood memories have begun to resurface lately and they look different to me. I’ve always understood, at least in my head, that who we were as children is who we are at the core and how we were treated has a powerful influence on who we have become. I ...

What Do You Long For?

The busyness of our day-to-day lives and the constant distractions of the world around us make it easy for us to push aside, or forget entirely, our most important longings. Each one of us is born with an intense desire for something, a yearning toward something. It pushes, pulls and nudges us throu...

The Life of the Creative

I can’t imagine living a life more personally meaningful than the life I currently live. Am I happy? That is difficult to answer. The external world has not been kind, nor is it its job to be, and it has left its mark. An internal war rages within me pretty much always. I try to [...]

Here I Am

Before you begin reading, stop a moment. Close your eyes and breathe. Breathe deeply…. Breathe slowly. Notice your body as it changes its rhythm. Don’t think. Just notice. If you have trouble finding a calm, quiet place, don’t worry, don’t struggle, don’t work at it. Just breathe. Just notice. Be ...
