My Ego – Not Yours! Mine. Mine. Mine.
I sent my ego to the “timeout chair” this morning. I am sitting here smiling imagining this silly and sweet happenstance. What would my ego look like if I could see it? Is it a smaller version of myself? It seems to be an innocent who does not know any better, but is not me as […]

So Many Passions
What does Passion mean to you? For the first half of my life I thought Passion was that feeling derived from sex and love. BTW this is also the time I thought sex & love were the same thing.

non-judgmental awareness
“The present moment is filled with joy and happiness. If you are attentive, you will see it.” ~thich nhat hahn Ahhhhhh – to be in non-judgmental awareness is a lovely vacation of sorts. It is a getaway from the push and pull of things. When I am here all that crosses my “virtual desk of life” […]
