The Joy of Kindling

As the winter nights while away and the dawn of spring approaches, I am left feeling contemplative.  The world’s wonderment lays before my eyes and I fundamentally understand that both beauty and chaos can be perceived by those very eyes.  I have come to understand it is I that must seek the very beauty that exists everywhere in the world.  In the face of the chaos, I must perceive the beauty because the beauty of the world has been ignored for far too long.  Too many of us find triumph in the defeat of others, pleasure in the pain of […]

This Too Shall Pass

I remember a time many years ago when I was much younger and far more prone to allow the outside world to affect me that I came to my father with something that was troubling me.  In hindsight, for the life of me, I cannot remember what was troubling me at the time however I will never forget the words that he imparted upon me.  When I told my father the dilemma I was facing, he simply sat and listened to me and then when he heard all of the details of my affair he quite succinctly said, “Son, this

Then, Adi asked me to join her with Siri Bahadur to do a meditation

Dr. Doolittle Calling…

(For my father on his birthday, may you forever Rest In Peace.) Adi and I have moved back to Mansfield, Texas.  We are living on her family’s 5-acre property and although I proclaimed vociferously that I would never leave the city 2020 has shattered all norms and made all of us adapt into something we never thought we would.  To some degree, what has unfolded has been nothing short of remarkable.  I have discovered aspects of myself that I didn’t know existed and it seems that they have allowed me to grow in ways I could have never expected. With
