A little prayer and some gratitude is always needed, now than ever before…a few years back I slipped and twisted my knee, it took me a whole year to heal. I love capturing shots of my feet in all the places they take me to. All the adventures and all the paths that are still left to be discovered. Thanks for taking me places…

If a lotus is to grow, it needs to be rooted in the mud. Compassion is born from understanding suffering. We all should learn to embrace our own suffering, to listen to it deeply, and to have a deep look into its nature. In doing so, we allow the energy of love and compassion to be born. When the energy of compassion is born, right away we suffer less. When we suffer less, when we have compassion for ourselves, we can more easily understand the suffering of another person and of the world. Then our communication with others will be based on the desire to understand rather than the desire to prove ourselves right or make ourselves feel better.

You cannot silence it, but you can train it to be your friend. How do you manage your inner chatter?

Her doggyness!
As I sit down to jot my thoughts, she often snuggles next to me. Today, I wanted to just settle on the staircase and take a breather or two. The soft sound of her breathing, that deep inhale that we seldom experience in our shallow daily “doingness”, it’s so assuring. As if nothing else matters,…
