Just in Time

May 16, 2012

This note was first published on Facebook on Aug 18, 2010. Since then, I am happy to report that my practice of letting go of what I love, and also those I love, has only deepened. I have found that non-attachment (as against detachment) deepens love and brings a great lightness to the heart. Books [...]

Through the Looking Glass – Seeing Beyond the Image

“You are as you are, an indescribable message on the air.” ~ Rumi Words have a way of trapping us into their confines. They are a poor, albeit beautiful, attempt to communicate that which cannot be expressed, but only experienced. The danger lies in taking them to heart and deciding that they speak the whole [...]

Speak Up

March 9, 2012

Ever had thoughts and feelings that you wish you had the courage to express, but didn’t? Were you too afraid that you wouldn’t be heard or wouldn’t be understood?

Answered Prayers

“I always knew it. This has confirmed what I have felt all along. My son is special. He is here for a reason. God will not let him leave his work incomplete.” The elegantly dressed lady epitomized poise and courage. I listened in silence. There is little one can say in such a situation. Her [...]

Inner Landscapes

November 16, 2011

An inner landscape artist. Is there such a term? Because I get flummoxed when I have to describe what I do. Author, facilitator, life coach, healer; these are some of the terms I use lightly. To try and keep it brief. But the truth is that I do little other than tending to my inner [...]

Facing the Storms

October 7, 2011

That from which we run chases us. Uncomfortable situations, tasks, conversations and emotions are often avoided. We either run away from them or wish they will go away. If nothing else, we hope that they may magically resolve on their own, with time Most things tend to sort themselves out. Right? Not necessarily true in [...]
