“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So, throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” —Mark Twain When time seems abundant, we all have a tendency to get complacent and play it safe.  When we feel we have years ahead of us and plenty of time at our disposal, we have a penchant to “wait for another day” to go after our dreams and aspirations.  Oftentimes, it is only when we are […]

It was raining; it was cold and wet; I walked; my clothes damp—none of these things discouraged me from taking in the moment.  A dreary, rainy Monday morning spurred something inside me to get out into nature as I watched people hurriedly drive to work and I wondered: why are we all rushing around so much?  What are we chasing?  We rise each morning to rush to work in order to pay for things that bring us little joy.  If anything, they become the anchors of our life—the luxury car, the over-sized house, the name-brand clothing and jewelry, 50 weeks

“Build a Covenant.” Messages come during Sadhana.  It’s inevitable that when we quiet the mind nuggets of inspiration break through the silence demanding action. “Build a covenant.” This message poured into my soul and I wasn’t even certain exactly what it meant.  If truth be told, I had to look up the word “covenant” to even understand the meaning.  I learned the word covenant means “agreement.”  I understood even less what I was being instructed to do.  Build an agreement?  With whom? What would this agreement entail?

The link between destruction and transformation is incredibly thin.  Oftentimes, it is simply perspective that defines that line and one person’s destruction truly is another person’s transformation.  The year 2020 was certainly that test for many of us.  A year that started with similar hopes as previous years was quickly replaced by a moment in time that none of us will soon forget.  Institutions began showing cracks and those most conscious among us began surveying the demise of what once was as it was replaced by an entirely new age.  The Age of Aquarius, which formally arrived around late 2011/early
