Winter Solstice

Leave a Comment / Blog, The Elegant Universe / By /

As Winter Solstice descends upon us and the end of 2018 nears I am in a divinely contemplative state. The end of one thing and the beginning of another allows us to take stock in our current stage on our journey through life.  Solstice is a beautiful time of year, a time when old chapters close and new glorious chapters arise like a phoenix rising from the ashes of our past experiences. The fertile soil of possibility awaits the planting of the seeds that will sprout the dreams of new tomorrow. For the first time in my life, I have shifted my […]

Passing the Torch

Four years ago my father passed away.  Even though my father was 80 years old, it happened very suddenly.  It was Halloween and some trick or treaters decided to deposit some of the chocolate they had collected on the ground near my parent’s home and my father became worried that his dog might eat some of the chocolate and die.  Instead, something far more ominous happened, it was my father who would perish from that fateful choice.  My father, 80 years old and not the least bit agile, decided he was just the person to pick up the candy off

Seven years ago, I vowed to change the my

As the gentle winds blew in from the Sea of Cortez, Adi and I arose early for our first morning of Yoga Nidra training at Prana Del Mar in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico.  The sun had yet to creep up over the horizon as we started our day at 3:45 a.m. for our morning Sadhana and as we walked to the Sun Room for our morning yoga and meditation, one glance upward revealed a sky that was shimmering with stars.  A meteor shower was in the forecast so the chances of seeing a shooting star or meteor streak across the

Going, Going, Gong!

For Adi and me, there is simply nothing better than getting the chance to explore the world.  We giddily walk around the house a couple days prior to each departure wondering what our next adventure will bring.  We have found that the less we plan our trips the more magical they become, so oftentimes we scarcely know where we will stay once we land.  We allow the magic of the Universe to unfold before our hopeful eyes knowing that what She will bring will be far more glorious than anything we could have ever planned. I write these words on the
