It’s Easter Sunday, and I decided to go for a walk. Down the quiet tree-covered lane I like to walk, with Life as my close companion, resurrecting me by the senses. Wherever you are today, your world is rich, and your senses are hungry. Unplug. And feed them.
A Moment is a Treasure
Life can be magic. And for those of us who are fortunate enough to be in the place to think about that, let us not fail to do so.
The Blue Balloon: Consciously Creating your Effect on the World
I’m not sure exactly when I spotted it, but there among the tourists, locals and Saturday workers was a small blue balloon, caressing the bricks of the sidewalk as it floated along. I observed its effect on the world around it. And that made me think of how similar we humans are. Is not our effect on the world made possible by our sense of separation from it?
The infinite creative power of Chaos
In times of Chaos, the forms we have known dissolve, releasing energy from which new forms are created. It is a creative process, but not an easy one. The point of Chaos is a fragile time, and what we do in these hours and days and months will determine whether it leads us to failure or a new way of life.
Room to grow… how safety kills creativity
Sometimes the things we construct to protect us end up harming us in the end. Sometimes we need room to grow. And we must free ourselves from these unyielding constructions to have it.
walk softly and feel the connection
Seven years ago, I participated in my first Sweat Lodge on a secluded piece of fertile land in Provence. Part of the ritual was to gather small offerings from Nature for the altar at the entrance of the lodge. As I took my first steps out into the vibrant green jungle around the lodge, I realized that I could not take one step without crushing something beneath my foot. I was deeply humbled.
