I Met A Soul Today…

  I met a soul today…Whose light was so bright; it illuminated the night.I met a soul today…Who reminded me of home and I knew, I could never feel alone.I met a soul today…That whom I feared had passed; I rediscovered once again, at last.I met a soul today…The one I remembered so well, before I was hypnotized by a spell.I met a soul today…That all-knowing presence that was there to guide; in fact, lying dormant inside.I met MY soul today…

Savannah, Georgia, On My Mind…

Savannah has an intrinsic charm to her.  There is an underlying ghostliness to the city that gives birth to artistic expression.  It’s difficult to put a finger on what exactly it is; maybe it’s the moss dripping from the trees making it appear like the trees are weeping; maybe it’s the cobblestone streets that feels so much like Paris that I was searching about for the Metro; or maybe it’s the rich history that waits patiently for someone to properly capture its opaque beauty—nonetheless, Savannah is a gem.Adi and I are currently traveling the coastal south on a work trip

A Sense of Wonder…

“Keep your sense of wonder about the world, and that wonder will lead you towards your passion.”   I was talking with one of my children the other day and the topic of “finding your passion” came up.  “I don’t know what my passion is,” he said to me somewhat defeatedly. “That’s okay,” I responded.  “You’re only 19; there are people who are 70 who still don’t know what their passion is.” I was lucky in that when I was 19, I knew exactly what it is that I wanted to do.  I knew from a very early age that

It’s the Small Things…

It’s the Small Things… I absolutely love my morning cappuccino.  For me, there is nothing better than hearing the steam from my cappuccino machine as I am rising in the early morning to start my day.  It got me to thinking about the small things in life that I love so much; so often we fret over the “big” things in life that the “small” things really do take on a seemingly insignificant quality.  Of course, this is only because of our state of mind.  In truth, I have come to realize that if we only shift our perception away

The Best Day Possible…

A family friend of mine, Cedric, died in his sleep a couple of days ago.  He was 45 and much too young to die.  Cedric was a surrogate uncle to my children and always acted as a role model to my kids in the most influential and subtle way.  He never really verbally coached a lesson; instead, he illustrated the things he taught simply by “doing” the actions other people only talk about.  He was one of the kindest and most positive people you would ever want to encounter. Anytime someone dies at such a young age it can be
