~ Bertolt Brecht

"I know that I am intelligent, because I know that I know nothing."

~ Socrates

Everyone has inside of themselves a streak in ingenuity that can transform the challenges and obstacles we face into live signs that something is out of sintony in our lives. An intelligent attitude leads us to perceive the… Continue

Who am I?

I am no-body.

Once upon a time I was a seed. Passing through a journey I landed in a womb. Doctors called me fetous. When I came out from the dark chamber people around called me a bright baby. My mother called me huggy baby and several other cutie names. Each of the family members called me names of his choice. During the naming ceremony the priest gave me the name of Ramesh. As I grew, parents of my kid companions gave me names each suiting their temperaments. In the school each… Continue

Twenty five plus two years

The secret of having a long-term loving relationship is for each partner to continuously create the other in the image and likeness of Love.

It dawned on my yesterday, that this May, Larry and I will be celebrating our “official” 25th wedding anniversary. I say “official” because we lived together for two years before we got married.

I was 36 and Larry was 58 when we married. We both had trepidations about making our relationship legal. Our marriage was Larry’s… Continue

Spiraling Home

The poem/chant Spiraling Home, which came through me a few weeks prior to September 11th, 2001, is a clarion call for now. There's tremendous power in hearing the words spoken aloud. Chant it or sing it, and see what happens inside you!

Spiraling Home

It's time for:

Gliding, sliding

Coming out of hiding;

Purging, merging

Acknowledging the… Continue

"The secret of all victory lies in the organization of the non-obvious."

~ Marcus Aurelius

"If you can organize your kitchen, you can organize your life."

~ Louis Parrish

There are different ways to regulate your life and the organized attitude leads us to perceive a singular order for each being event or circumstance. Things tend to flow better when we organize according with the principles of… Continue

The Atheist, The Harvard Grad and The Monk

an excerpt from a letter to “The Victorian”

Names have been changed in the following excerpt to protect the innocent:

...Did u hear the one about the Harvard grad, the Buddhist monk, the Atheist, and the Born-again Christian? Me neither, but they have been staying with friends of mine over the last week... some people should just have cameras following them around so that they can broadcast their entire quirky lives for the world to… Continue

Healing Wisdom for Valentine's Day

Love is Healing.

In honor of Valentine's Day, we will just share our favorite Love Poem:

Sonnets From the Portuguese XLIII.

by Elizabeth Barrett Browning

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.

I love thee to the depth and breadth and height

My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight

For the ends of Being and ideal Grace.

I love thee to the level of everyday's

Most quiet need,… Continue

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!!!

A good day to start a bog. Not sure how to name it yet and I think it will evolve and spring to my mind one day.

I must discuss the book I found yesterday, that has completely enthralled me. "The Daily Coyote" by Shreve Stockton. Also on blog. I read 4 pages at the store, which I never do and stood in line reading; I could not put it down.

Her first book, so compelling she will surely be one of the great writers of our time. It's about how she moved… Continue

I'm deeply longing for more and need some help in dealing with this overwhelming side (language barriers of understanding, technique, connections ...)

The Love of Your Life

This is excerpted from my February What Shines newsletter two years ago:

We become "the Light of the world" first within our own beings; then we're able to shine this radiance outward. It's like any other learning process: we can only serve others from a well that runs full and deep.

In this spirit, I offer you an evocative embrace from Derek Walcott (sounding… Continue

Anthropic Principle

Anthropic means 'of or relating to human beings or the period of their existence.' This relationship between man and the cosmos is said to be through intelligent design. Only a small range of possible values for the universal constants (such as the mass of an electron) are consistent with the presence of life as we know it. The significance of such apparent fine-tuning of the universal constants is disputed by those who regard it as trivial and those who argue from it to the necessity of life… Continue
