Today’s Reflection is about a new baby being born. Of sorts. I think that, ultimately, we never really know when it is time for something to happen. Sure, we can make plans, prepare, get things done, and line up all our ducks in a row. There certainly is value in that. We can also trust, […]
Today’s Reflection is about a life with an open heart. These past few weeks have been “interesting” for me, which is an interesting word to use to begin with. It all started with an incredible 2-day workshop with Gail Larsen (the next one coming up in this ‘hood is here). Apparently, it doesn’t even take […]
Today’s Reflection is about a different way of looking at, and experiencing life. This email, from someone I don’t know, starts with the following line: “…. from my cousin in Sendai, Japan where she has lived for the past decade teaching English.” I think it needs to be shared, to remind us that there is […]
Today’s Reflection is about a seemingly easy and natural-to-us all act. Or maybe not that easy. I recently made an important, and perhaps life-changing, discovery. My ears are not the same, in their shape. Yes. Who knew. I realized it because one of the two earphones, the left one, of my newly-acquired iPhone, keeps falling […]

Today’s Reflection is about the sadness of a loss, and the many kind words from many strangers. They are not even friends, for I have not met them, other than in an online forum of a topic of a mutual interest. And even there, we have not interacted directly. Yet, they just posted a message […]
Today’s Reflection is a collection of thoughts and quotes that has accumulated here and is waiting to see the cyber-light. “Let what we love be what we do. There are a thousand ways to kneel and kiss the ground.” – Rumi “Listening is such a simple act. It requires us to be present, and that […]
Today’s Reflection is about a poem that feels very relevant to my life right now. Perhaps to yours too, even though the reasons might not be the same.
