Fractal Rain

February 27, 2010

Woke to rain.
In San Diego, rain is rare enough to feel slightly magical. Like a full moon. Or a meteor shower.
Although this year has been a rainy one. Last week, my landlord asked how the river in the backyard has been flowing. I realized that I had not been down [...]

“Groundhog Day & The Power of Now”

February 24, 2010

I love anything that Bill Murray is in. Stripes, Ghostbusters, Meatballs, Scrooged, etc. He is one of those rare comedic actors who can make me start smiling just with a facial expression.
Last night “Groundhog Day” was playing on Bravo. So, of course, I watched. I’m not sure why it [...]

“Turtlenecks and Fake Tans”

February 18, 2010

“It is better to live your own destiny imperfectly than to live an imitation of somebody else’s life with perfection.” ~The Bhagavad Gita
Trying to be something that you are not is infinitely more stressful than allowing yourself to be what you are.
In many ways it is the difference between floating and steering.
I can remember years [...]

“Life isn’t Fair”

February 15, 2010

Life isn’t fair.
That is one of the first things I remember learning from my folks.
When I would painfully scream about the size of my ice cream serving compared to my brother’s, they would calmly response. “Life isn’t fair.”
It seemed cold and unfeeling at the time.
But now I see how important that awareness is.
First off, [...]

God in a Dewdrop

February 14, 2010

I struggle with the idea of an external god that is separate from me.
For me, there is only The One. There is only God. There is only The Universe.
It is one infinite, perfect equation. Stardust to embryo to earthquake to atom.
Somewhere in the middle of this massive equation is our planet.
And somewhere [...]

My Faith

February 12, 2010

I am beginning to learn what “Faith” means to me.
Faith is about the ability to surrender.
From my limited awareness, it seems like many different spiritual paths all teach that surrendering is required for evolution, enlightenment, salvation, etc..
*What* we surrender to is what defines our Faith.
For me, when I am in my right mind- I surrender [...]
