The LOVE cycle
Love, as I learnt its meaning growing up, has always been conditioned and between people and pets. Now I realize, I am loved by ALL, and I am loveable. The love cycle continues, irrespective of the quality of the behavior and relationship that exists. The love exchange simply does not depend on how we or… Continue reading The LOVE cycle
Lethe’ and Eunoia’ in the Divine Comedy
Dante’ encountered the rivers Lethe’ and Eunoia’ at the top of mount Purgatory in his book The Divine Comedy.

The “should be” lines

Just as our caregivers were conditioned dependent on the way they grew up. The environment may be steeped deep… Continue reading Am I lovable just as I am, or do I need to change to be loved?
Inner/Outer world we observe to have the human experience
Every human has both an inner world and an outer world where information is constantly coming and going, being processed, entering and exiting. Examine this for yourself. We are more tuned to observing the outer world. How aware are you of your inner realm? did you know that the inner narrative most often dictates how… Continue reading Inner/Outer world we observe to have the human experience
Spaciousness
Perhaps the best words ever said to me are these “take your time, there is no rush”. I learnt as a young person, in order to be successful, I must be quick at doing things and must do many things to be competent. This led to a fast and furious personality in me, that never… Continue reading Spaciousness
