It was Mark Nepo who observed, “Birds learn how to fly, never knowing where flight will take them.” I have spent the greater part of my life worrying about my destination…where the flight of my life was taking me…instead of giving my attention to this day…and how to fly. Does it ever seem to you...

Yet, I know what Albert Einstein said. “There are two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle.” I think I’ve decided that everything is a miracle. When I woke up this morning, even before being reminded of this remarkable...

My dear one, I see your frustration, and your struggles wanting to get somewheredifferent on the outside than where you are at right now. But I would tell you this day that I have been waiting for you to get somewhere different on the inside first so that I can take you to your new place on the...

My gut began clenching violently the other day.  I was miserable, clenching my middle section and moaning in acute pain. Gall bladder? Colitis? Ulcer? I went to bed convinced that I had brought this upon myself through my incessant worrying about the stuff that has me feeling uptight and...

My twenty one year old daughter asks. I reply, “sure!”   No comments mom, please. No reactions. No negative energy gestures. No heavy breathing. Not even gasping. No nothing that’s going to turn me into a bad mood. I don’t want to be stressed driving. Ok mom?   Guess I’ll play dead on...

I am human being Neither poor nor a king Simple man with high aim Nothing to leave behind and simply claim   Less I ignore Love and everything I get more Less I dislike and push you away More you come near and stay   Yet I feel good and don’t hate I have fine nature but no words to state...

  I want to be called rebel With most dreaded label To fight for cause and excel Just survive in world to tell   Why my pen does not break down? When I hear woes and pain unknown How many perish in day light bombing? And how many disappear in combing?   Nothing comes out that easily...
