Musings

Today, I take a detour from my usual posts about creativity, art, and finding inner peace. Actually, this isn’t at all far from those subjects because I believe all in life is interconnect, in ways we never quite understand, even. As a friend of mine approached a having an cesarean, she asked me about what […]

“WE ALREADY HAVE everything we need. There is no need for self-improvement. All these trips that we lay on ourselves—the heavy-duty fearing that we’re bad and hoping that we’re good, the identities that we so dearly cling to, the rage, the jealousy and the addictions of all kinds—never touch our basic wealth. They are like […]

Certain things I once believed to be true are rising up to be evaluated. Though I know life isn’t black/white, reframing many of the stories and things I’ve been telling myself feels liberating to me right now.
