“The more I become myself, the less myself is who I am”, I told Christopher the other day, enjoying my tremendous intelligence and smart ass-ness in being able to make such a paradoxical remark that is not paradoxical at all.
I have paid a lot of attention to myself lately, to who I am, to what [...]
A couple of weeks ago, more or less, my husband tok some photos of me. They were beautiful ones, he gave them to me and I was getting ready to post them on facebook and in other such places. So I opened Photoshop, grabbed my stylus ready to do what I always do - polish [...]
The last few months were pretty hard for me. Nothing was happening outside, but inside there were realities collapsing, there was death and distraction, pain and sickness. There was opening and falling and reconstructing and falling apart. It kept me very busy, always focused inward, inside. I haven’t seen it like that though, there was [...]
“New world is here. Life opportunities are only how uniqueness opens a space for invitations for us to graduate from being good. Beyond uniqueness is the opportunity called originality in relationship, which redesigns what can be”. Said Brooks.
Funny he should say that, I thought just now as I read it. I thought about this just [...]
“I don’t care about people” I realized a while ago. we were walking dogs at night, my husband and I. We talked about something relationship-related.

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 [...]
“Imagine that a mountain is not a mountain. Not what we see as a mountain, what we call a mountain. Imagine that a mountain is a spirit being, without physical form. Imagine that this being is bigger than the mountain you see, bigger than the Earth, bigger than the Universe. Imagine that this being is [...]
“I have learned to create a space for myself to be who I am by separating from other people” it occurred to me at the very last day of my family visiting me. They came here for three weeks, all the way from Poland. It was the first time I spent three weeks with my [...]
question: are we really all the same? I can’t think of a time that I lied to, manipulated, robbed or poisoned another person in order to gain/provide protection, support or safety for myself or my children. I can’t think of a time when I felt so empty that I craved bigger houses, better or more [...]
I walked in the mountains yesterday. There is a trail winding it’s way up a mountain side. It splits at one point, a path goes on, following the mountainside into a valley, another leads up to the very mountain top. I wanted to stand at the top of the world yesterday, so I climbed up. [...]
