A Responsible Man

A man came to my house today. He works with my husband, I’ve met him a time or two before. We don’t know each other at all, not really, our conversations are always brief, never go beyond a polite chitchat. It hasn’t today, either. And yet during the few minutes I spent talking to him [...]

Being Productive

Being Productive

I realized this few days ago. I realized that I am not a writer if I write. I realized that I am not a painter if I paint, nor am I a designer if I design. I am who I am, and I do things.
I’ve been working on my fairy story for last few months [...]

Lords and Ladies

Lords and Ladies

“Is anyone else having trouble sleeping with all these planetary changes?” asked my friend today.
“What if planets have trouble changing because we don’t sleep?” I asked, in response.
“Well, if the planets are trying to align with me, they’re in trouble.” she answered, and I said:
“The fate of planets is in your hands, and so the [...]

What is the real question?

What is the real question?

Everything is. There is a universe in the tiniest leaf, there is a whole of creation in me. I will see it, if I look.
I really enjoy my art class. The teacher begun her introduction, on the first day, by saying: drawing is not about putting shapes down on paper, it is not about what [...]

It is not about making things happen.

It is not about making things happen.

It is not about making things happen. It is about being ready to allow things to happen.
This is a different way of being in a world, different from how mind operates. There is nothing to do. There is nowhere to go, there is nothing to achieve, there is nothing to change. But there is being, [...]

Singing the heart out

Singing the heart out

I remember the first time Christopher visited me in Poland. It was shortly after we met, about eight years ago. I lived in Warsaw at that time. One day, in the evening, we went for a walk at the river’s bank. It was a summer day and there were tents with beer, french fries and grilled [...]

What is my responsibility?

What is my responsibility?

Funny I should ask, since this very question was popping left and right all around me lately. It all begun with an email that was forwarded to me, an email that contained “Little gems from the Health Care Bill”. Those gems were all the parts of the bill that would allow government to force people [...]

New Opening

New Opening

I am done with my life, I realized recently. It’s been coming on for quite some time, as a feeling, sensations I couldn’t see clearly. And there was trauma clouding and distorting.
But as the picture cleared, as my presence opened and the trauma left I realized that I am done with life. I am completed [...]

My Mother

My Mother

A while ago a friend of mine was interviewing me about my childhood and my family traditions. It was an exercise we did during a retreat, we were supposed to recognize the patterns, models, lessons, traditions that our family installed in us, and see how those models shaped our own life.
I expected to tell the [...]

What’s all the to-do?

What’s all the to-do?

“Oh, come on Harry. All you mortals get all hung up over your precious souls. You’ve never seen your soul, never touched it, never done anything with it. What’s all the to-do?” said Bob the Skull, the spirit of intellect, to Harry Dresden, a professional Wizard.
Bob the Skull’s opinion popped up in my head yesterday [...]
