  • Wearing Away

      Egocentric judge – Like a battering gale that wears away at our past.      

  • Balance

    Sunlight and shadow, Necessary opposites, Create life’s balance. It seems that we are supposed to a life filled with nothing but happiness and joy.  That this is the ultimate goal, the thing we should constantly strive towards.  Believing that we must achieve happiness as a constant state of being can lead to feeling of failure.…

    Wooden walkway leads, Spanning our distant selves, Pathway to self-truth. We all have transition points in our lives.  We transition from childhood to adulthood, from single to married, from career to career, our lives are filled with transitions.  While each transition comes with its own stress, and some transitions are painful, each transition is such…
